MON ROE

Regeneration Theme
of Nev EOUe-Dramo

Rcalism-with a capital R-is
the outstanding characteristic of
Paramount's gripping romance
drama, 1.-The Rainmaker," which
shows at the Monroe Theatre to-
d. FOR the last time.
Ernest Terrence, William Col
lior, Jr., and Georgia Hale are the
featured players in this stirring
polarization of Gerald Beau
mont's widely read magazine
story, "Heavenbent."
The atmosphere of the race
track around which the early
part Of the action centers is real,
typical and wildly picturesque.
Clarence Badger, the director,
filmed a series Of racing scenes,
that are said to be the last word
in thrill and excitement.
A dozen famous jockeys on an
equal number of thoroughbred
race horses stage a real race in
which Collier participates. While
in the lead, the hero is thrown
from the horse and trampled upon
by the oncoming racers, while the
thousands in the stands react to
the horror of the accident.
Again, in one of the later Sc
quences in the picture, Badger has
reproduced with amazing fidelity
a dance hall scene of other days.
The realism here is heightened by
a fierce hand-to-hand battle in
which several hundred men take
part.
The later events of the story
occur in a little border town in
the southwest, and it is here that
the plot reaches a tremendous
climax. The whole town is strick-
en- with the plague through lack
of water; a raging fire breaks out
it looks as though the town is
doomed. Then comes the big,
emotional moment when the
jockeys prays for rain and his
prayer is answered by spectacu-
lar cloudburst.
Through the veneer of the race
track, the dance hall, the fire and
the flood. there flashes forth as
fine and human and sincere a
story of romance and regeneration
as has ever been seen on the sill
yer screen.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE +. HUGHES.
Current Liabilities.

Let us now examine the current
liabilities. In the articles imme
diately preceding we have been dis
cussing current assets and showing
the relative Importance Of each item.
Assuming that the balance sheet is
correctly made out and accurately
represents the financial condition of
the company at the date given, 1t is
much easier to appraise the current
liabilities than the current assets.
The item that is practically always
found on this side of the sheet is
bills or accounts payable; that is to
say, the ordinary trade debts incur
red in dayto-day operation. Next
come notes payable, and although the
phraSeology varies with different bal
ance sheets. what is usually meant
by this heading is money borrowed
OF the banks on short'time notes. II
a corporation is strong enough to
finance it's business without current
borrowings from the bank, so much
the better, but the fact that it has
availed itself of it's credit in this
way is not necessarily a sign of weak
ness.
Other items include taxes due. in
terest accrued and dividends declared
but not yet payable. However the
current liabilities are made up the
things to remember is that the total
represents the sum which must be
paid and that within a comparatively
short time and that the only source
from which the money is to be OBJ
tanned is the current assets. This
again brings out the significance of
the ratio between these two totals.
current liabilities and current assets
Once in awhile one finds balance
sheet wherein the current liabilities
exceed the current assets. Obviously
this is a danger signal It might re-
suit In bankruptcy and would do so
naturally unless new capital could be
brought into the business Each case
must be investigated separately.
When current assets are twice current
liabilities the condition is considered
satisfactory and when the ratio rises
higher than this it is called strong.

QUEBEC. October 13.-Making big

sure that illegitimate promoters make
little ones out of big ones occupied
the attention of the Investment Bank
ers Association of America today
The United States now has some
25,000,000 holders of investment
securities. This. number has grown
from 100000 in 1924. The invest
ment bankers ARE determined to make
big investors out of the little in
vestors.
To do so, they are a unit in de-
termfning that they will safeguard
the money of their clients to the ut
most and do everything possible to
bring to justice the promoter of un-
safe and illegitimate offerings
Evening star., 1926-10-13

America has rather suddenly be-
come by an enormous margin the
greatest investing country in the
world. Old standards of investment
banking have changed completely.
There are now selling organizations
reaching to every hamlet in the
country. Sometimes there is a tend
ency to do things hastily and not
quite perfectly. If we do our work
well we are to remain custodians Of
the public's investments. Otherwise
we are apt in increasing degree to he
subjected to rules and regulations

Regulatory laws are not opposed by
the association. The legislation COM
mittee made that plain today with a
statement that new forms of invest
ment appear from time to time which
cannot be foreseen. but are perfectly
proper for investors if properly safe
guarded. While it is realized that no
laws can be drawn to anticipate these.

should be promptly amended to recog-

Struggle DISPOSED Of.

The old struggle between the whole
saler or underwater of bonds and the
distributor or retailer has been effec-
lively disposed of, so far as this con
rention is concerned. The attitude of
the delegates was accurately expressed
by President Ray Morris when he
said
Reforms in business practice and
helpful modification of it do not hap
pen overnight, and anybody optimistic
enough to think that any practice with
the seeds of injustice in it will be
changed on a committee report ought
AS punishment to be made chairman
Of the committee. My own feeling is
that we can be effective in correcting
practices we do not like by starting
with fundamentals quite above dis
pute.
II have always imagined that the
durability of the Ten Commandments
was due to the fact that Moses record
ed the best standards of conduct of
his time, rather than attempting to es-
tablish new standards through legisla-
tiOn. We. as an association. are def
nitely able to formulate what is fair
and what is not, and get our code
adopted by the pressure of public
opinion
Evening star., 1926-10-13
Must Be Safeguarded.

However the wording of the resolu
tons adopted by the convention may
be framed, 1t is the consensus of the
delegates that this must be done.
The larger underwriting bond houses
who stand in the investment business
In the position of wholesalers were at
first only mildly interested. But the
investment bankers who operate in
all sections of the country, and who
act as retailers, soon showed them
that the United States could not alb
sorb between seven and nine billion
dollars of new financing a year unless
the small investor was both interested
and safeguarded.
1t has been said often that it is not
profitable for a bond house to sell to
customers who invest less than $4,000.
That day has passed. Most of the re-
tailers now are equipped to take care
of investors who buy in $100. $500 and
81 900 lots. They are training these
investors to buy in thousands instead
Of hundreds, however, and the general
prosperity of the country, the high
level Of wages and the wide industrial
activity now prevailing have aided
them In this campaign.
