Money appears to be plentiful In the land Of the
Plue Noses. Canadians oversubscribed by more than
$3.50, 100000 the 1881 conversion loan. These are the
figures: The amount Of the loan was originally set
for $3.50. 10000 and the exact money subscribed more
than s600.00o0OO. Canadian conversion bonds bear
interest at four and a half per cent. They are gilt
edged. They are as good as gold. indeed they are rare
offerings for a thrifty people and the Canadians are
thrifty people. American tourists invested 100000
600 in the Canadian provinces last year. There may
be a slump In the sum total investment by the Arneri-
can tourists this year.

CAPITOL

Paramount brings an effective
story to the screen in Its Elimination
OF Rupert Hughes serializsd novel,
Ladies Man, which opens at the
Capitol today.
Ladies Man is the story OF a
very believable type Of character
a society man who subSIstS upon
the money he gains from selling the
gifts which ere showered upon him
by the romantic and philandering
ladies OF the social set. Whence he
came no n seems TO know. Who
his family Is also remains unans-
wered. But the fact Is patent that
his cebonair manner. his easy
charm, his romantic suavity and all
so glamorous in the eyes land arms
OF the ladies that any social register
shortcomings he may have are
forgotten.
William Powell, as you may have
suspected even If you had not been
previously informed by the Capitol
Theatre, plays this central charac-
ter. he Is the Ladies Man. and a
more p~erspicacious person for such
a herO-villian role Is not listed in
the whole gallery Of filmdom's
stars.
Kay Francis again is the sweet
heart Of Powell. She comes into his

Yes, Every Mothers Daughter Can
BE a Star on Broadway, II Papa
Has the Cash and Is Willing To
Act as angel"
NEW YORK-In this town, where
so many people r supposed to 60
to the devil, it's surprising how
many angels" can be found who
are willing TO perch on the point Of
an electric bulb!
Fact is, in this day and age few
theatrical producers put I'D their
own money for their own shows.
The so-called smart boys" gener-
ally find other sources. Years ago,
the Frohmans and BelaScos and
all such backed their own shows
and personally attended TO the
casting and directing. Purchases Of
big theater chains established
bookings all over the nation and
Broadway became more and more
a real estate proposition. with
groups holding their houses for
rentals.
Now ii happens that in this
mans town there are certain gents
who have money. and who also have
wives, daughters and girl friends
obsessed with the notion that they
are actresses. IL merely remains for
a play to come along, find a produ-
Ger, put up the .money-and on she
goes. The results are generally more
than slightly sad. Time and again.
1 have attended performances
where wives would have been far
better off back in the kitchen and
where sweetheartS would have been
better off in rumble seats.
AT any rate. a certain stage pro-
duction opened within the past few
weeks.
Up in the Bronx there was a
proud father. He had made a nice
bit Of money in business and he had
a daughter who had been quite a
riot in the amateur and little thea
ter groups. Why couldn't she have
her name on Broadway? Why not
indeedl
Considering the nature OF the
play. a mere matter Of $4,000 or
Whereabouts was required.
And SO the performance opened
on Broadway, with first night cri-
tics on hand and. Of course, scores
Of friends from up. town.
When it was ell over, the proud
mama and papa rushed to the
stage. followed by a large parade OF
gushers and a good time was had
by all at the get-together that fol-
lowed.
No harm done, as you can see,
There rarely is. except to some
youngsters ego and some angels

own way and proving 10 Beryl's
entire satisfaction that he always
paid his debts IN full.
II had not been easy for him. Pol
Larkin had given him a nasty
beating but Tommy considered him
self lucky TO escape without a
cracked head. And his uncle's atti
tude when Tommy went back home
mad made II impossible 10 ask help
or him. Tommy had stayed one
night. refusing to accept Beryl's
offer. The next night he slept at the
garage. In fact, he slept at the ga
rage until he received his first pay.
Then he took a cubby-hole in a
nearby roomlng house.
Like many a person who seems
negative at times Tommy could see
a thing he believed in through to
a satisfactory conclusion. And he
was determined now to be his own
man.
RERYL loved him deeply. She
- wondered at times IL Tommy
realized this. She'd tried TO place

He'd always accepted her in a mat
ter-of-fact way.
IL vas Irene who occupied
Tommy's thoughts. She was a sweet
fragrance In his memory. He did
not blame her for ~discarding him.
Eeryl. hopelessly in love with
him. lied about Irene. When he
asked for news OF her sister and
there was no news she invented
some. Oh yes. they'd had a letter
from Irene on Tuesday (but II
might have been two Tuesdays
past).
She could trust her mother not 10

Mrs. Everett said little OF Irene's
communications to them Mr..
Everett was less reticent. but
Tommy rarely encountered him. for
Mr.. Everett was working late at
the store these days. His helper had
been let out for lack OF funds and
work that Mr.. Everett had done IN
the day time he was doing now at
night.
Beryl and her mother made the
salads and cakes to increase the
family income but most OF Beryl's
time was spent in the store. Shortly
after she resumed her duties as
cashier she realized with sinking
heart that the business was headed
toward disaster. All her " funds
were exhausted. spent in large
sums to the New York specialist.
