ADJUSTMENTS
FIVE BIG TINE ACTS
CONSTITUTE LYRIC BILL

Five big time Keith acts consti-
tuted the bill which was presented tt
the patrons of the Lyric theatre yes
terday afternoon and night. The bill
which is one of the best appearing at
the local playhouse this season, will
be shown for the first half of the
week.
Three of the acts were real head
liners. However, Anna Francis. the
singing Coincidence. carried off the
most applause. Her pleasing person,
atty won the hearts of tie audience
and her rendition of sevSEal popular
sonN was well received. She also
gave q very good imitation OF Fred
Stone in his eccentric dancing.
The Octavia- Handsworth company
in a clever comedy stit, entitled
Twice a Week." also won headline
honors. The theme of the playlet was
the Irritation of a man and a woman,
who met at the cemetery gates,
where both had gore to place flow
ers on the graves of wife and hus-
band respectively. The filtration
soCn ripened into love and the Gus
tomary ending followed. The acting
of the cemetery keeper was especially
Noble and Brooks, clever come
dian and a more clever coincidence,
kept the audience in humorous spirit
throughout the act with their clever
sayings and witty chatter. They
were generously applauded. q
Evelyn Phillips and company in "a
Versatile Oddity.' entertained for sew
eral minutes with some of the best
soft shoe and eccentric dancing that
has yet appeared at the local thea
tire. Two female members of the act
were especially good with their
Bowery characterizations.
Arthur and Peggy. The MERRY

Scottish songs and a tight wire aero
battle exhibition.

what you think of Durant Motor stock.
ana also star stock car that Durant is
Iust putting on the market? | have a
lew nhares of Durant and am thinking of
buying some star | bought Duraat a
sa'' ana now it Is listed at s47.--W B. n,
Answer - Presumably you bought
Durant Motor stock on the installment
plan, since you are considering Star
Motor, Inc, stock, which is being sold
by Durant Corporation now on the
same plan that Durant stock was mar
keted. II this is the case You are not
at liberty TO sell the Durant stock. so
it would not matter whether the stock
were selling at AZ or 147 share
your paper" profits would be larger,
but your actual return would be the
same. No dividends are paid on the
stock, and until the shares are put on
dividend basis your only hope of
profit is an advance in the stock.
Whether the shares will be selling
above the price you paid when you are
1t liberty to make a sale is matter
of conjecture The same principle
applies to Star stock. Purchasers on
he installment plan must agree not
% dispose of their stock for two years
after completion Of payments. Unless
you feel you can afford the additional
oeculative venture you should put
what funds you have available in in
.eStment securities. forgetting the
phase of enhancement in value.

Answer--Since it is outside the
province of this column to give advice
on purely speculative questions, the
best we can do to comply with your
request is to set down few pertinent
facts for your guidance and leave any
decision entirely in your hands. 1t is
not true that the Gulf, Mobile &
Northern has no bonds outstanding.
The December 81, 1921, balance sheet
shows funded debt of S4,996,000 In
relation to the amount of stock out
standing - sl1 ,494 400 preferred and
S11,072,50o common-this debt is very
small. The company has never paid
a dividend on either class of stock.
The preferred is per cent stock
and dividends became cumulative
on January /, 1920, so that the road
owes approximately Is per cent on
this stock. In 1921 the company
earned less than 40 cents share on
the preferred. but the Improvement
during 1922 has been such as to indi-
cate a return of about 10 per cent on
the preferred during the full calendar
