you're right. Well. anyway, I sure
hope you're a great success when
you get to New York. And 1 know
you will be. You'd be a success
anywhere; you've got the stuff in
you"
"Oh, Jerry" She threw her
arms suddenly about him, kissing
him briefly on the forehead. Good
bye, jerry" she said softly.
Goodbye, Ellen"
She turned, gathered up hei
things quickly, and hurried away
leaving him sitting there, vastly
confused, amazed.
New York was a revelation to
Ellen Young. Never before had
she seen anything like it. In glow
ing terms she described it in the
long letters which she wrote each
night to her mother. telling of the
awe-inspiring splendor of its sky
line, the beauty of its waterfront
the magnihcence Of its towering
buildings. Her tiny apartment in
the heart of Harlem was a palace
to her in comparison with the
dingy little Cream Ridge shack in
which she had lived all her life
The parks, the buildings, the
streets, the subways, the theatres
all were a constant source of in
terest to her. How beautiful, how
wonderful life vas here!
Harold Stern located himself in
a somewhat more elaborate apart
ment hardly a block from hers
The night after they had gotten
settled, he called for her in his
car. We've got to get to work
he told her. "Tracey's got that
show rounding up already, and he
wants some snappy advance notices
in the papers about it. Well go
over to his apartment first and see
what we al pick up. Bring a pen
Gil and some paper with you"
"All right" she agreed. "You
go ahead. I'll be down in a min

She changed her clothes quickly
grabbed a stenographer's notebook
and pencil, and hurried down to

explained. said it looked too
prosperous and would make all he
people down there turn against me
I guess they were right, at lat."
"It's simply SWELL" Ellen sighed,
leaning back on its luxurious up
holstery. They sped through the
streets of Harlem, past row ter
endless row of almost identical
brown-fronted houses. Then Lenox

Avenue, a turn to right, and they
were there.
Earl Tracey's apartment was one
of the most elaborate establish
mentS which Ellen had ever visited
The lights were soft and shaded
the carpets deep, the walls hung
with beautiful tapestries. A fire
place with its blazing log lnade
the first room coy; further back
a radio furnished music.
There was a brief wait before
Tracey himself put in his appear
ance. Ellen sat on a deep-cush-
Toned sofa with Stern and talked
in a low undertone about nothing
at all. When Tracey at last came
in she saw a small, thin, very nerv-
GUS man in a long dressing gown;
a very dark complicated man, but a
rather handsome one.
"Oh, hello there, Stern" he
said as he entered the room. "Clad
to see you back" Then he turn

Stern gripped his hand. yeah

Il get you" There was a brief
hint of a sidewise smile on Tracey's
face which Ellen could not under
stand. However, as it was obviously
intended for Stern, she did not let
1t bother her. whats your namc?''
he asked.
Young, Ellen Young"
He nodded briefly. "AlI right.
he said, come on back here and
let's get to work."
They went into the rear room
Tracey switched off the radio. then
began talking rapidly to Stern about
the projected show. From time To
time, Stern would turn and snap
a lew phrases at Ellen, which she
would dutifully record in her note
DOCK. 1t was long past midnight
when they were through. Stern
took Ellen home in his car.
n following morning their
work began in earnest. There
were newspaper stories to be got
Ten out and mailed-dozens of
Them. There were feature stories
about each of the stars who were
to take part in the elaborate pro-
duction, shorter items concerning
the chorus girls and lesser princi-
pals. There were advertising con-
tracts to be let, programs to be or
dered, circulars to be distributed
It was all very new and interest
ing and fascinating to Ellen. and
though it was hard work, she re-
veled in it.
Tracey was whipping the show
into shape very quickly for an
early opening, SO all Of the pre-
liminary work had to be rushed.
Often Ellen worked with Harold
Stern in his apartment until early
in the morning, taking down items
as fast as he could dictate them,
suggesting new slants out of which

There1l be a lot Of men in here
soon to cart this stuff away"
Eyes, Mr.. Stern"
She drew on her coat and hur-
ried through the door, then half
ran to her little home.
Having joyously informed her
mother and father of the good
news, she proceeded briskly to
throw the few good clothes which
she possessed into a thin paste
board suitcase. Her face was lit
with bright anticipation. Gee,
mom," she said to the sick woman
who lay on a couch m the front
bedroom, won't it be simply
grand"
Her mother smiled family. "Just
be careful, Ellen. Watch your
step. There's lots of pitfalls in a
big city like New York for a young
girl like you. Especially when shes
as pretty as you are"
"Oh, mother" she cried. Don't
worry about me. I'll be all right
I'll write you long letters and tell
you everything that's happened
And I'll be making lots of money
enough to pay all your doctors
bills, and more besides"
you're going right away, Ellen?'
yep. Gotta hurry. I want to
run over and tell Jerry about my
good luck, tell him goodbye"
She kissed her mother and flung
herself downstairs and out the
front door. Suitcase in hand, she
made her way quickly to the little
Itea-shop in which she had worked
so long, side by side, with Jerry
Wilson.
She found him there, seated be-
hind the counter reading a maya

I'm going to New York, Jerry!'
He started. He said, Whore

Stern isn't anything but a cheap

BUYING IN STOCK
MARKET ANALYzED
Four Classes of Investors
Listed as Present Pur-
ChaSerS of Shares.
Special Dispatch TO The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 30 Who In
buying stocks these days?"
This query, put to a vice president
Of one of the biggest national banks
here, who is in charge of the securities
department of that institution, brought
the following reply:
Most share buyers today might be
grouped into four classes. The most
important group, from the point Of
volume, is the corporation. Many
firms continue to acquire their own
common and preferred shares on
scale down. These concerns thus are
using their surplus, which some day
may be taxed.
Corporation officials form the Sec
ond greatest group of security buy
ers. They know whether or not their
companies are making money, earning
reports and balance sheets notwtth-
standing. Employees of corporations
form the third largest buying group.
Many companies have threatened 10
dismiss or lay off workers, only to be
surprised by the workmen appearing
as important shareholders. In some
cases these workmen have withdrawn
funds from savings banks to buy into
their concerns at what they considered
bargain levels These employees pro-
test their discharges or layoffs as being
inimical to their interests and officers
have to give heed to blocks of stock
representing one-third to one-haf OF
the total voting power of the concern.
"The fourth group, and at present
the least important, is made up OF
wealthy investors with plenty of cash
who believe security values have been
Dictated. 1t is out of this group that
the 1886 millionaires will emerge"

at midday the list was about 8 points

July touched 5.46 in early trading

the near month making less improve
ment owing to the fact that July ad-
vanced more than later months in yes

considerable cotton, despite the recovery
of over half cent from recent low
levels, and contracts sold by professional
interests inclined to work for at least
temporary set back failed to weaken the

Management Pays Back Salaries
After Cast Goes Through First
Act in Pantomime.

BELGRADE (N.AN.A).-A new note

Gently adopted by the singers and
chorus of the State Theater Of Bel
grade. These artists indeed appeared
upon the stage duly, their mouths
opening and closing as though in vocal
action, but no sound at all came forth
The reason for the strike was that
their, salaries were in arrears and their
union had advised them to produce no
more melodiouS lays until the last ones
had been paid for.
Patrons who make a habit Of listen
ing to singing with their eyes closed
just waited for the performance to
start-until it was an unconscionable
time a-starting, and then they began
to perceive that something was amiSs.
The management paid up after the
first act, being in profound disagree
ment with Keats decision that heard
melodies are sweet, but those mheard
are sweeter."

German government issues ran up
about points in reflection Of the re-
newed optimism in Europe over devel-
opments at Lausanne. Many OF the
buying orders came from abroad. Ger
man industrials, utilities and munich
pals also advanced.
The Bank Of England cut its rate to
2 per cent. This forecast a further cut
in the New York Federal Reserve Bank
rate, now 212 per cent, but since this
is unlikely to be made until next week,
the effect on United States Government
long-term issues was not pronounced.
