Give Clara a Break

Paramount has renewed. its
faith In Clara Bow with one.
year contract and a warning to
behave. This later admonition
directed toward lurid romance
which finds its way on to Page
One.
Negative personal publicity is
not the only thing which may
have weakened the Bow vogue.
More so, in my opinion, is the
Sappy stories which have been
picked out for the red-headed
flapper. True to the Navy" and
''Love Among the Millionaires''
are fiction loads for any star to
carry and retain following. Give
her good story break and I ven
tIre little Clara will make most
OF her critics come to attention.
She showed them all in Man
trap" and I am sure can do it
again for: /. Bow can act. 2.
She can sing fair enough. 3. She
has g. definite appealing person
atty. 4. She has looks and fig
ure and youth. S. She has color
and an impulsive recklessness that
needs only restraining hand to
detour it toward a useful pur-
pose.
have read many times that
Jean Arthur stole the honors of
Saturday Night Kid from Clara
Bow and still I, refuse to- believe
it. Now we read. again that
Mitzi Green takes the lionorS of
''Love Among the Mi1lionaires. /"
Not for me. Baby Mitzi is a
clever little: mimic and an asset
to a weak picture. But Bow is
Bow and Love Among the Mil.
lionaires" would be absolutely
flat without her.
Personally believe the part of
s'Kiki" was made to. order for
Clara Bow, as has been observed
before. It was not an admirable
choice for Norma Talmadge nor
am I enthuSed over the, prospect
OF Mary Pickford as the mis-
chievouS gamin made famous on
the stage by Lenore Uric.
But there are other stories. IF
Clara lives UP to her promise to
give her best to Paramount, the
Zukor story pickers might do
their best for the flapper star.

was while the earlier film was
being made that the romance
developed between Dolores and
Barrymore. I recall her then as
a wistful, sweet-faced girl, who
expressed shy disbelief that she
could ever become a star, and
who was very much excited over
the honor Of playing opposite the

Market Continues Slow Ad-

BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,


NEW YORK, May 29.-Stock prices
continued their leisurely and somewhat
hating upward progress today, as pro-
fessional operators, scanning the rather
meager industrial news at hand, still
appeared to feel that the weight of
the evidence favored substantial BUSH
ness recovery within a few months.
Traders by and large, however, were
waiting to be shown.
Perhaps the least susceptible of

the steel industry, but steel shares as
a group displayed firm tone, as their
sponsors felt that pipe line and heavy
construction projects. together with IN
dications of fair average rate OF oper-
alton by motor manufacturers, would
tend to stabilize conditions during the
Summer months. Nevertheless, steel
scrap prices continue to decline, with
further cuts of Is cents ton appearing
at Chicago and Pittsburgh.
Dow, Jones g. Co.'S average price for
eight important iron and steel products
declined this week to $46.99 ton, from
$47.24, and this average did not include
cuts in sheets, slabs and forging bill
lets.

would make respectable capitaliza-
ton for any other corporation: In form
holding company, Standard of New
Jersey, through its subsidiaries, pro-
duces, refines and distributes petroleum
and its products, operates in nearly all
parts of the world, controls valuable
patents, is interested in natural gas de-

To its position as the head of the oil
industry it adds the strength of DIVERSE

that the best opportunities for invest
ment are to be found In the corpora
tons of the largest size, but there is q
very real advantage in having a finan-
cial interest in a company so we'll
known. The record shows that pur-
chase of the shares of Standard Oil of
New Jersey has always been profitable,
provided the purchaser has been patient
enough. He may have had to accept a
small return on his investment and he
may have had to see the market price
of his stock depreciate temporarily, but
If he held on he was sure to win. Any
one who bought Standard Oil of New
Jersey stock in 1927, only three years
ago, at the highest price it sold in that
year could have disposed of his shares
in 1880 at 100 per cent profit.
This does not mean that the day-to-

the stock profitable. 1t does not mean
that it is good medium for specula-
ton, but 1t Is one of the best illustra-
lions of the slow and steady increase
in equities which goes to the buyer Of

prosperous American industrial corpo-
