LITERARY PIRACY

Following the lead of our American
"debunkers," perhaps, literary critics are
unearthing what they claim to be monu-
mental frauds perpetrated by authors of
supposed imperishable fame.
For example, it is now claimed, with
much show of plausibility, that Dumas
stole the plot of '"The Three Musketeers"
from book by one Courtil de Sandras
published in 1901. Also that many other
novels by the famous French mulatto were
taken from books a few centuries old,
which Dumas "jazzed up" and published
as his own.
Another alleged discovery is that John
Bunyan cribbed the essentials of his "Pil-
grim's Progress from story by Guile
vile, a Frenchman who lived three GEN.
turtles before Bunyan. Then, again, it is
asserted that Parson Weems filched the
story of Washington's Ratchet and cherry
tree from a story much older, which per-
tanned to an entirely different person. 1t
is quite generally accepted among scholars
that the cherry tree story is a myth, re-
CARELESS of it's original source.
And lest we be charged with piracy
ourselves, let us hasten to say that the
above information is condensed from an
article in the Philadelphia Public Ledger,
:as quoted in the Literary Digest.

TOP-NOTCHERS IN FILMS

There is always a certain public in
terest in outstanding persons and things,
whether they appear in the line of avia-
ton, sports, motion pictures or what not
Catering to this interest, it is customary for
persons or groups to select what they con-
slider the top-notchers in various activities
from time to time.
al Accordingly, poll of $4,000 ex-
hibitors by motion picture magazine dis
closed the following as the 10 biggest
money making stars of the screen during
the last two years:
Marie Dressler, Will Rogers, Janet
Gaynor. Eddie Cantor, Wallace Berry, Jean
Harlow, Clark Gable, Mae West, Norma
Shearer and Joan Crawford.
The 10 best pictures of 1888, selected
by group of 384 motion picture critics,
as determined by another film magazine s
annual poll, were listed as follows:
Cavalcade. Forty-Second Street, Pri-
vate Life of Henry VIII. Lady for a Day,
State Fair, Farewell to Arms, She Done
Him Wrong. Am Fugitive from Chain
Gang. Maedchen in Uniform Germany
and Rasputin and the Empress.
Perhaps without precedent in the an
mails of the stage has been the amazing
comeback" of Marie DRESSER, who today.
at the age of so, is acclaimed as one of the
most popular and highly paid actresses in
the world.

A LEADER SPEAKS OUT

'a-s'e In the past officers of some corpora
tions were inclined to issue over-optimistic
predictions as to future earnings of their
companies, with the result that share
holders were sometimes misled. But a
healthy change has come across the bust
ness horizon, according to financial
writer, and announcements of leading ex-
ecutives generally give their stockholders
the whole truth
He cites an example in the recent
dividend meeting of the John r. Thompson
company, with it's nationwide organiza-
ton of 116 restaurants in 16 cities. The
regular dividend was declared, though not
earned, and the frank public statement of
President John r. Thompson, Jr., shows
leadership that might we'll be emulated by
all corporation heads.
During these trying times" he said,
1.-The shareholders and particularly the
small shareholder, should be given every
consideration. For that reason we wish to
state frankly that this dividend is being
paid out of earned surplus accumulated
during prior years, thus permitting stock
holders to share, in lean periods, the bene-
fits accruing in good tines
This company, our informant tells us,
is 43 years old and it's dividends have con-
tinued unbrOken since 1916.
