payment being so one-sided. The oper-

Yield on Famous Players

Question: should appreciate your opin-
ION or Famous Players preferred stock as
an investment Compared with other
stocks, the yield at current price seems
high, but 1T is being recommended quite
strongly in financial literature and by
brokerage houses. Why is it selling so
low? My position Is that OF a saIaried
man endeavorng to accumulate for the
future to the best advantage--R. NJ B.
Answer-The earnings statements of
the Famous Players Company have
been good it is true, but the stock is
rather new and unseasoned and the
industry it represents has not been
noted for its stability. SO many mo-
tion picture producing concerns have
been operated in fy-by-night" man
ncr that the investing public has been
rather reluctant to take up stocks of
even the best of companies in this
field. We would prefer a good bond
to Famous preferred as an investment,
but to a man who is willing to assume
the attendant risks the stock might
seem attractive.
