From there on Vallee's future be-
came definitely settled.
He gets his chance today to prove
his showmanship when he presents
the second edition Of his Punch Bowl
Revue" as the stage show at Loew's
Capitol. Vallee's part in it sounds
more like what one might expect of
Noel Coward. He conceived the en-.
tire thing, staged it and then designed
the lighting. And, Of course, he m. c's.
the whole one-hour performance.
which includes everything you would
expect of a revue.

they wrote play about two other

Of the girls who appeared. with 1T
others, in the first edition of Gold
Diggers" films, that dated 1888. Mr..
LaFalce's piece subordinates these
three girls, not because he sees things
from different angle than drama re-
porters, but because his story has been
built mathematically. The larger
groups. those who got married and
those who did not, simply come first.
It is not being written here that
these three seem to have done any
thing funny. The professions they
have adopted are not funny in any
sense.
1t merely seems a bit odd that
destiny should whirl three girls out
Of the orbit of melody and merriment
into something so much more sober.
A bit odd, true, but it supports rather
emphatically by its very oddneSs a
point often made ir connection with
modern day show girls. That point Is
that they are not standard types tenn
peramentally. for all their physical
alikeness and the routinization that
marks their hours before the camera.
One hundred and eighty of them, those
acquainted with them would have you
know, are pretty much like any other
$50 girls. Except better looking, per-
= haps.
As further evidence Of this fact,
forgetting now the missionary and the
two school teachers, Mr.. LaFalce's
figures are pertinent in the following
revelations:
That 81 of the original Gold Dig
gers" are married, IL of them mothers.
That "a are still dancing in Holly
wood.
That Is have chucked the stage and
screen to return to their homes.
If those figures do not indicate that
the life of a Gold Digger" (as a
Warner Bros. Gold Digger is short.
then one can prove it with one more
of the LaFalce figures; namely, that
but one Of the originals of the 1888
show is with the current picture at
the Earle.
IT WAS at a. sort of social gather
ing of those who have to do with
the theater that Rudy Vallee yester-

that he has been nominated to spend

Industrial Gains of 1885
Are Shown by Reports

From the Wall Street journal.
The Wall Street Journal presented its
yearly compilation OF signiflcant DATA
from the annual reports OF $50 industrial
corporations. No less than III out OF the
$50 improved their per share earnings
on common or preferred stocks in 1888,
as compared with 1884. Aggregate ng-
ures for all these companies show IN
creases of 46 per cent IN cash ana
marketable securities, As per cent in
working capital and 6 per cent in dollar
valuation of inventories. The number
of shares of preferred stock was SUBJ
stantially reduced and funded DEBT was
decreased by 10 per cent.
improvement in general business VOL
ume may be set down as the principal
cause of this better position for typical
manufacturing units. though reorganiza- =
tions and other readjustments of capital
structure played q part, as did the
greater operating efficiency always
learned in hard times. The compilation
goes far to explain the rise in the Dow
Jones industrial stock price averages
from 9253 on october %, 1884. to 1873
on April 6, 1896. 1t leaves unanswered,
of course, the questions whether that
discounting of recovery by the market
went too fast or too far, and whether
the subsequent decline to 1885 as OF
April %. last, was the adequate corrective
swing. Since the close of 1885, the period
covered by the tabulated comparison
referred to above, there have been fur
ther gains in most fields of industrial
activity; the stock market also under
takes to appraise the outlook for coming
months.
