THERE IS A 1924
STANDARD FOR GIRLS
Dear Miss ’Flo—I am a young
. woman of 24. I possess a rea
sonable amount of intelligence. I
am neither ugly nor ignorant, but
I am the most unpopular girl in
town. My friends tell me that I
am too prudish—too old-fash
ioned, and that men prefer flip
pancy and flapperisms to intel
ligence and modesty. Now I
simply cannot be a flapper with
no other aim in life than a good
time. Why do men prefer the
empty shallowness of the flapper
to the wisdom and industry of
that modest girl?
B. B.
* * •
I think, B. B., that you rather
exaggerate things. Men do ap
preciate the qualities you men
tion, but sometimes the outside
glitter of the butterfly fascinates
them, and they are ensnared to
such a degree that it is impossible
for them to know whether the
glitter is merely an outside polish •
[ or solid gold. Fqr that reason,
we occasionally see pretty, shal
low, foolish girls carrying off the
marriage prizes that should, by
all logical reasoning, go to the
domestic woman who makes the
most efficient wife in the world
when she has a chance to prove
it
Then, too, there are extremes,
neither of which go well with
a man. Sometimes a girl is too
prudish. Sometimes she sets a
standard of morals for herself
which would have been popular a
generation ago. The girl of to
day is decidedly different from
the girl of yesterday, and the old
standard won’t work.
Things that were considered
positively immoral a hundred
years ago are accepted without
question today. It isn’t that the
morals of women have been low
ered. It is simply that they have
a greater degree of freedom and
independence, and they are using
it.
The girl of today, who wishes
to enjoy a fair share of popular
ity, must keep up with the times.
She must unbend to a certain ex
tent, and, figuratively speaking,
learn to jazz. I am not advising
you to do anything which your
conscience tells yon not to do,
but perhaps you are too much lika>
a girl I know.
She goes through life ready to
be embarrassed at the least pro
vocation, and she is always afraid
that her conduct will be mis
understood. She tries to avoid
trouble so ostentatiously that she
is constantly finding herself in
embarrassing positions. She
wouldn’t think of doing this—nor
think of doing that—it might not
look well.
As a result she is always cre
ating the wrong impression. She
frightens her friends away. They
laugh at her, and she is very
much hurt at their lack of regard
for her feelings. She is facing a
slick-haired sheik, who carries his
young man comes along and i3
sufficiently interested to try and
force her to lose her prudishness
and broaden her outlook on life.
This is one extreme.
The other extreme, no more
popular with men than the first,
is the girl who will go to almost
any limit to be thought a good
sport. She is a silly creature,
and her only ambition is to chase
butterflies.

The following information is furnished to us by Mr. Jules E. Mastbaum, Presi
dent of the Stanley Company of America and the Stanley Company of Atlantic City,
N. J.:
STANLEY COMPANY OF AMERICA
“The Stanley Company of America, which guarantee these bonds, principal and
interest by endorsement, was incorporated in June, 1919, as a consolidation of various
representative organizations engaged in the exhibition of motion pictures, and in the
promotion of public entertainment, principally in and about the City of Philadelphia.
“At the time of incorporation, the Company’s theatres numbered twenty-nine, all
located in Philadelphia and Camden. Since that time this number has been increased
to eighty-seven, all of which are owned or controlled by the Stanley Company of
America. These theatres are situated in Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Reading, Allentown,
South Bethlehem, Pottsville, Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, Pittsburgh, Chester, West
Chester, Camden, Atlantic City, Baltimore, New York City and Washington, D. C.
“In September, 1923, an alliance with the B. F. Keith interests became operative
whereby the vaudeville houses of the Stanley Company.of America now offer Keith
attraction in Philadelphia.
FINANCIAL V <
"The Stanley Company of America owns valuable real estate and leaseholds in
Philadelphia and surrounding cities. The present market value of these properties is
estimated to_be approximately $5,000,000 in excess of the values carried on the books
of the Company.
“Tha market value of the ouitanding stock of the Stanley Company of America
is in excess of seven million dollars.
STANLEY COMPANY OF ATLANTIC CITY
“The entire capital stock of the Stanley Company of Atlantic City is owned by the
"Stanley Company of America. The .officers of the Atlantic City Company are also
officers of the Stanley Company of America.
SECURITY
“These First Mortgage Guaranteed Sinkng Fund Bonds are secured by a closed
first mortgage lien on the leasehold with improvements thereon, upon the property
extending 170 feet along the Boardwalk and 170 feet along Kentucky Avenue. The
site is one of the most desirable in Atlantic City, being situated on the' Ocean Front
in the heart of the hotel, shopping and theatre district.
PROPERTY
“Upon this property are now situated modern stores, facings the Boardwalk. AIL
of these have been occupied continuously since their. erection by responsible tenants
operating high-class retail establishments. The property will be further improved by.
the erection of a motion picture and vaudeville theatre of the most modern type of
construction and design, having a seating capacity of about 2,000 people. The estimated
cost of this improvement is approximately $700,000.
VALUES
“The value of the leasehold property after completion of the new building has been
. appraised at more than $1,200,000 by responsible real estate experts...
REVENUES
“The revenue from the stores amounts to $110,000 annually. This income, together
with the estimated net income from the operation of the motion picture and vaudeville
theatre, after deducting all operating expenses and real estate taxes, is estimated at not
less than $170,000 per annum. These estimated net earnings are at the approximate
rate of 7.1 times the maximum interest charges on this issue, and 2.3 times the combined
maximum interest and sinking fund charges.
, THE LEASE
“The Stanley Company of Atlantic Gity has acquired the lease of the ground, which
extends Until September 30th, 1957, or nearly 23 years beyond the maturity of these
bonds. The lease has been assigned to the Equitable Trust Company of Atlantic City,
Trustee, and provision is made that no mortgage or lien can be created on the land or
buildings ranking prior to or ratably with this mortgage during existence of the
mortgage.
SINKING FUND , ^
“The mortgage provides for a sinking fund beginning January 1,1927, sufficient to
retire $50,000 of these bonds annually. The sinking fund is to be applied by the Trustee
to the purchase of the bonds in the open market if obtainable at or below 100 and accrued
interest, or if not obtainable, to the redemption of bonds by lot at 100 and accrued
interest. Through the operation of the sinking fund the equity in the mortgaged prop
erty will be constantly increased and all of the outstanding bonds retired by maturity.”
We offer these bonds when, as and if issued, subject to the approval of legal
matters by counsel. It is expected that Intrim Receipts will be ready for delivery on
or about December 10, 1924. • - , % '
