I am content to state that any
show having Jack Pearl, Phil Baker
and Shaw and Lee is we'll heeled
for comedy. These four can stop the
show cold individually or collective
ly any time they desire.
You hear Baker tell you that the
cream of today is the cheese of to-
morrow and you will laugh and
even believe it by the way it is put
over.
Baker. his accordion and the wise
cracker who knows it all in the box
are on duty several times. The re-
suit is the usual panic although
Bakers material is not entirely new.
Baker knows how to sell this brand
of fun and the public still demands
it because the people love it.
Some of the songs Of Miss Aileen
Stanley are not new but her meth
cd of delivery has made them song
institutions. Her chummy singing
with Phil Baker near the end Of the
show is one of the big high lights
of the entertainment.
I have only praise for the work OF
the Jack Donahue-J John Boyle Girls.
The directors have not only devel-
oped the sense of smart hoofing but
have been able to develop PERSONAL
itv in each dancer. This makes this
dancing unit different from any or
ganization on the stage today.
Pleasure Bound" is smart, gen.
orally good hammered and often a
tuneful outlay Of melody and splen-
did dancing.
Since 1 have returned from a
three-day visit in Chicago, several
people going TO Chicago have asked
me what to see there. Pleasure
Bound" tops my list at the present
time.

The principal topic of CONVERSE

week has been centered around the
actual announcements made re-
Gently of Radio Keith Orphcum's
development and expansion and the
rumors Of further acquisition of new
fields and conqueStS.
The F. F. Proctor amusement in
terests and theaters we're taken over

gesture the Canadian activities are
broadened from st. Johns to Van

being left undone that will hasten
and assure vaudevilles prosperity.

IDENTIFY seemed to the Reserve board
that some of the "others" loans which
have been piling in upon the stock mar
ket for over year were about to find
their way into business. Under such
conditions the responsibility of main
tanning a steady rate for call loans was
to be thrown back upon the banks.
Rather than have to cope with an even
more difficult situation later, the Re-

Reserve Boards Power.
Aside from the moral question of the
wisdom Of curtailing brokers' loans,
any one Is forced to admit that ac-
cording to the Reserve act, the Fede-
raj Reserve Board Is acting fully with
in its powers and responsibilities, and
from a more practical standpoint, it
appears that the Reserve banks have q
much firmer hold on the brokers loan
situation than is generally appreciated.
At this time especially, with the Bank
Of England rate at 5h per cent-and
thus acting as definite check on fur

doubtedly choose the course which will
cause as little suffering as possible, but
they can now accomplish their aim

rate, by using moral suasion on Others
to keep their loans within reason or as
suggested in their statement by more
careful scrutiny of loans to member
banks" to make sure they are not find
ing their way into the speculative mar

AMERICAN DOLLARS
FINANCING WORLD
LIST of Foreign Securities
FIoated in U. S. Shows
Heavy Increase.

BY the Associated Press.
American dollars continue to finance
the worlds business.
Any doubt of the fact should be re-
moved by the total of 81 ,426, 487 $50 in
foreign securities floated in the United
States last year, second only in size to
the 1927 total of 1882 595,760.
But for high money rates prevailing
in this country the last half of 1928, the
total probably would have exceeded the
1927 record, for Department OF Com
merce statistics indicate that of the
great total, all except $379, 100000 worth
of securities were placed in the Ameri-
can market the first six months. AS
were floated the second quarter. two
new records thus were established.
Nearly half the foreign issues of 1928
were of European origin and more than
half of these represented corporate
financing. Germany, largest single bor-
rover. who took 1890 10000 or about
half the total for all Europe, devoted
most of the funds to public utility de-
velopment and a large proportion to
banking institutions. Denmark was
second largest European borrower, using
proceeds for government or govern
ment- guaranteed projects, while Italy
was third and Norway fourth.
Latin America again took second place
in total borrowings, with more than 80
per cent of the proceeds being devoted
to governmental uses, chiefly for public
improvements, such as highways, sewage
systems and railroads.
Canada was the second largest indi-
vidual borrower, taking $4,000 900,
most of which was for corporate pur-
poses

experienced temporary lull In activity.
Several big orders for equipment for
use in production Of radio apparatus
featured business in the Philadelphia

have issued some large lists in the

U. S. LOSS OF GOLD
HEAVIEST IN YEARS

BY the Associated Press.
Continued exports of gold in 1928 re-
suited in a net loss to the United
States of 1891 $4,000, as compared
with net gain of $6,080,O00 in 1927,
according to statistics of the United
States Department of Commerce. The
loss was the heaviest in years. 1925
being the only recent period to show
a comparative net loss, $134, 100000.
Exports totaled $560,759, 900, while i'm
ports were $168, 887,000.
The trend of the year was opposite
that of 1927, when heavy imports dur
ing the early months were changed to
heavy exports in the last four, the
export movement continuing virtually
undated through the first six months
of 1928. Imports were heaviest in
January, November and December, but
fell to small amounts In most other
months and during the first half were
widely offset by large exports.
The export movement represented
chiefly a flow of funds to Europe, and
especially to France, for currency stabil-
ization purposes.
