Majority Of One

LONDON, Mar. 10 (AP).-
The London theater had a new
hit from America today-Leon-
ard SpigeigasS' "A Majority of
One"-but the critics gave most
of the credit to stars Molly
Picon and Robert Morley.
The notices reflected the en-
thusiasm of the flrst-night au-
dience at the Phoenix Theater,
which gave the cast 10 curtain
calls.
An enchanting London
debut" said the Daily Mails
Cecil Wilson of Miss Picon,
longtime star of New York's
Yiddish theater. She played
the role of a Jewish widow from
Brooklyn who goes to Japan
and wins the heart of a Tokyo
millionaire.
w. A. Darlington of the Daily
Telegraph called the play a
simple hearted piece . (that)
will not have much appeal in
itself to playgoers who like
something more sophisticated"
But Miss Picon's acting Is
something not to be missed"
he added.
Anthony Carthew of the Daily
Herald wrote Miss Picon is a
delight.
Il need no crystal ball to
predict that the prospect of
Morley in a kimono and little
Miss Picon's schmaltz will bring
coach parties rolling up to the
Phoenix for m any, many

The follow-through on Fri

The big investment funds,
which hold billions of dollars
of American savings, have more
than one-third Of all their
funds in only 40 stocks.
By any yardstick. this is a
handful of stocks and reveals
a striking concentration Of
money in a few corporations.
an extraordinary unanimity of
opinion among the profess
sionals in Wall Street on what
are the best stock investments
at this time.
To indicate the extent Of the
concentration. the funds stake
in each of these stocks runs
from at least $50 million to
over $685. million. To indicate
the degree of agreement on the
superiority of the list, the 73
funds which qualify as giants
because of the size of their
assets, have $4.4 billion of the
$12.4 billion they control IN
stocks in just these 40 issues.
Every time I come across a
list Of stocks favored by the
pros I study it with interest.
Maybe they don't have as much
inside information as I think
they have, but I figure they
surely are better analysts than
most of us. Thus, when I re-
ceived the latest list of the pre-
ferred 40, compiled by the
Capital Gains Research Bureau,
I did my usual probing job and
turned up some facts which I
suspect will intrigue you as
they did me.

total dollars invested in them.
