It has been suggested that the mer- chants of Key West advertise the Presi- dent’s Ball next Tuesday by adding a line in their ads advising everybody to buy a ticket. Let’s make the President’s Ball a huge success by purchasing a ticket. The suc- cess of the ball will be measured by the amount of money that will be sent to the national committee.

Just wait un- til the cornucopia is empty. It looks like a come-down or pure} commercialism for John Masefield, the English poet laureate, to write a history of the White Star line. He is asking the pub- lic through English papers to forward to him memories, papers, letters, logs ae photographs of the officers, crews, sailing | ships and steamers of this line te be so kind as to write to him, and let him know the nature of their material. Tarpon Springs Leader reports the} sale of more than a half million dollars 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 a book by one Courtil de Sandras, published in 1701. 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 a story by Guile- ville, a Frenchman who lived three cen- turies before Bunyan. Then, again, it is asserted that. Parson Weems filched the story of Washington’s hatchet and cherry tree from a story much older, which per- tained to an entirely different person. It is quite generally accepted among scholars i that the cherry tree story is a myth, re- gardless of its original source. And lest we be charged with piracy ourselves, let us hasten to say that the above information is condensed from ‘an ‘@rtiele in the Philadelphia Publie Ledger, #8 quoted in the Literary Digest. A LEADER SPEAKS OUT *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 busi- ness horizon, according to a financial writer, and_ pronouncements 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 its nation-wide organiza- tion 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 well be emulated by all corporation heads. “During these trying times,” he said, “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 times.” This company, our informant tells us, is 43 years old and its dividends have con- tinued unbroken since 1916. 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- tion, sports, motion pictures or what not. Catering to this interest, it is customary for persons or groups to select what they con- sider the top-notchers in various activities from time to time. J Accordingly, a poll of 512,000 ex- hibitors by a motion picture magazine dis- closed. the following as the 10, biggest Toney iaking stars of the screen during the last two years: Marie Dressler, Will Rogers, Gaynor, Eddié Cantor, Wallace Beery, Jean Harlow, Clark Gable, Mae West, Shearer and Joan Crawford. The 10 best pictures of 1933, selected by a 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, I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang, Maedchen in Uniform (German), and Rasputin and the Empress.
