Hollywood gossip says that
dainty Madge Bellamy will have
a featured role in the next pic
ture which L. Monta Bell. the
astute and youthful director
from the D. c.. will preside over.
It indicates peace between the
latest sensation as a megaphone
wielder and the little actress who
starred at the Shubert-Garrick
here when Bell was impressario
of the stock company on F street.
Madge was playing the lead in
Peg O. My Heart" with Earle
Foxe as leading man when she
suddenly made the painful dis.
covery there was cinder in her
eye. She walked off the stage to
a doting mamma in the wings
and had the annoying impediment
removed, leaving a nonplussed
and embarrassed Earle FoXe
standing in the middle of the
stage for five minutes. while
the audience wondered what it
was all about. Next night the
Garrick stock company had a new
leading lady and Bell announced
he was through trying to handle
the temperamental Miss Bellamy.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE

in the foreign list following the sharp

recession being more noticeable in
the provincial and municipal obHga-
tions than in the French government
bonds, although they, too, host ground.
Speculation for the rise has been
more active in the former than in the
latter. In the outside market French
internal loans went down with franc
exchange. On the exchange Paris
Lyon and Mediterranean 6s sold off
nervousness over the situation in the
Ruhr. Belgian bonds were not much
changed and the rest of the list was
only fractionaly lower.
Liberties Steady.
Liberties were about steady, the
reaction in the general market being
balanced by the continued ease in
money. Time lrnds were in supply
