Motion Picture Magazine (Feb-Jul 1919)

(Continued from page 89) A case in point is the railroad situation, considered from a purely investment standpoint. While the duration of Government operation of railroads is still undetermined, it is obvious that the rights and equities of the security holders will be equitably preserved thereunder and probably actually improved as an ultimate outcome of the lessons learned during the war period. In fact, so far as can now be foreseen, there is nothing in the railroad situation, present or prospective, that makes these securities less desirable investments than heretofore. In the industrial field the uncertainties growing out of the labor question or associated with high material prices, are gradually becoming less distinct. Matters of such paramount importance do not adjust themselves overnight, so we must look at same in a common sense way. Obviously we are making good progress in the right direction, and this fact itself is basis enough to justify full confidence in the ultimate outcome. Patience is needed while this transition is in progress, but, fortunately the period of waiting is rendered less onerous than would be true if the outlook was not so encouraging.

During two years so many changes have taken place among the players that this set had become old and out of date. Accordingly, we have discontinued our offer of eighty portraits, and have substituted a new, larger, finer and more attractive set of portraits of the twenty-four leading players. The entire set are done in sepia by rotogravure, in accordance with our special instructions, and are as high-grade as this process of printing, which is famous for its artistic results, can produce.
