A quaint story is told about

spent some time in the clutches

for that role and was laughingly

in her messages she mixed it
with a bit of alcohol and used it
as her perfumery all during her
stay here.
For years now there has
always been a courageous soul
who has compiled. each annum,
a list of the 10 best-dreSSed
women in the world. Not to be
outdone, Mr.. Hugh Daniel, the
mems stylist of RKO, reverses
the usual procedure by central
izing his attention on Hollywood
and naming the only six male
stars in our midst whom he
claims know how to wear their
clothes and dress correctly for all
occasions. The following boys
are the lucky manikins: Fred
Astaire, Adolphe Menjou, William
Powell, Warren William, Clark
Gable and Charles Boyer. Pos
sibly Mr.. Daniel knows exactly
what he is talking about, but
Clark Gable is usually seen done
up in sweaters and Slacks, unless
it be a formal occasion, and there
are those who believe Adolphe
Menjou's sartorial elegance to be
most extreme at all times, which
definitely places him in what-he-
couldn't-wear-he-carried category

Life Begins

A large, ambitious musical revue

cast of 125 principals, dancers

Thus, the announcement that
the New York Winter Garden re-

comes to the National Theater on

weeks engagement, is headed by
such stellar performers as Bert

ter Garden, which has a seating
capacity much larger than other
theaters which house musical
shows.
But more about the sort of show
that Life Begins at $40" is. It's
tunes we're written by Harold Ar.
len, whose songs have been whiS.
tied, sung and tapped by practi.
cally every white and colored man
in this country. Its lyrics are the
work of Ira Gershwin, famous
brother of famous George, and E.
Y. Harburg, the most successful
and prolific lyricist on Broadway.
Its sketches were written prir.
cipally by David Freedman, whose
work for the last "ziegfeld Fol.
lies" helped make that show the
most successful road musical ex.
travaganza in the last five years.
And, finally. the direction and
lighting, by John Murray Ander-
son, guarantees a finished show
with a great deal of revolutionary
innovations in lighting and stag
ing. A double revolving stage is
one of the features of Anderson's
staging, and it is said that for the
first time on musical stage the
lighting, the music and the mo-
ton of the revolving stages are
integrated and coordinated so that
there is an exciting rhVthm and
unity to the whole production.

900 American home owners whose
mortgages are held by building and
loan associations are now seeking to
repay their loans by the direct re-
duction'' plan, according to an article
in the current issue of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Review, which
compares the three principal methods
Of long term amortization.
BY the direct reduction plan, which
Is asserted to be the most economical
and convenient of the three loan
methods for the borrower, a fixed.
unchanging payment is made each
month, In an amount SUFFICIENT to
extinguish the entire debt within a
definite period, generally from 10 to
IS years. Part of each monthly pay
ment is applied to interest due on
the unpaid balance Of the loan, and
the remainder to principal. The other
two methods are the share account
sinking fund" and the drop share"
plans.
Three Plans Compared.
A table in the Review compares the
three plans over the full period on a
$4,000 loan at q nominal interest rate
Of 6 per cent. The table shows that
by direct reduction payments. the
borrower pays much less to clear the
debt than by the share account"
plan, and that he pays off the loan
IN a shorter period. The effective
interest rate paid by the borrower
under the direct reduction plan is
likewise lower than on loans on the
share account plan.
The complex share account plan Is
stated to be a survival of early days
of the building and loan movement in
this country, when virtually every
member Joined an association as an
investor in the hope Of eventually re-
ceiving a home loan. AS associations
began to attract the savings Of tnveS-
tors, in addition to the separate class
of borrowers, the justification for the
plan largely disappeared In most
such institutions today, investors out
number the borrowers by as much as
five to one.
Other Plan a Compromise.
The drop share" or "cancel-and-
indorse" plan is a compromise be-
tween the other two plans. 1t was
