Sept. 6-Somebody in authority said once that "costume pictures" are no go bethe public wants "modern stuff." The authority, likely, had just made a period film that was a flopperoo. There still is a feeling in Hollywood that costume pictures are the greatest gamble.

Still an increasing number of them is being made and some of the outstanding recent and current successes are period films. Few attribute the trend to the entertainment value of costumes in themselves, but regard it more as 8 coincidence that many of the current crop of good films happen to have costumes in them. In other words, the stories, not the costumes, are the main item. Many Costume Films Katharine Hepburn has completed one costume film, "Mary of Scotland," and is now engaged in another, "Portrait of a Rebel." Her leading man in the Scotland story, Fredric March, is currently on the screens in another "costumer," "Anthony Adverse," while a third current March film is "The Road to Glory," which has him in a uniform. March recently complained that he wanted very much to get out of uniforms and no wonder, since nine consecutive pictures have had him so attired.

Norma Shearer has just completed her greatest cinematic adventure, "Romeo and and she likes the costumes so well that she wears modified versions of the Juliet robes in public. Garbo is doing "Camille," a period story. Errol Flynn, who blossomed to fame in a costume picture, "Captain Blood," has just finished emoting in another, "The Charge of the Light Brigade." More on the Way Slightly more, modern is "The Texas Rangers" and "The Plainsman," both being readied for fall showings. An auspicious costume picture now before the cameras is "Maid of Salem," dealing with the Puritan period. Claudette Colbert will be the attractive witch in this.

Joan Crawford's latest, "The Gorgeous Hussy," scene of which is laid in Washington during Jackson's administration, has completed. "Marie Antoinette" is being prepared, perhaps for Miss and "Pride and Prejudice," "Parnell" and "Mr. and Mrs. Washington," all of a past period, are about ready for the camera. The completed "Ramona" is in the same category, as is the forthcoming "Lloyd's of London." All this delving into history and fiction based on history seems to disprove the so-called authority's declaration.

More concretely, it is putting the costumers in clover. And the wig makers are looking for extra dividends. Man's Face and Head Cut Sydney Manlove, 34, of 907 Pine Street, was treated in tine Delaware Hospital yesterday for lacerations of the face and head. was found lying in street Fifth and ate Spruce Streets by Henry Prusinski, 920 Brown Street, who took him to the hospital.

STAMP CHATTER 5 HELVETIA By W. Emerson Wilson 15 FEN a The practice of investors laying in supplies of unused United States commemorative stamps as they are issued has become the subject of a vigorous controversy in philatelic press. Some writers contend few of the speculators will ever realize more than the purchase price of the stamps, while other market observers are equally insistent that current commemoratives are excellint investments. The consensus seems to be that the investors will never actually lose money, because the stamps will always be worth face value for postage, that there is slight prospect for quick profits, but as long-term investments the stamps should show considerable profit if held for ten or fifteen years, providing stamp collecting continues to gain in popularity, as it has during the last decade. About one in ten issues, however, may be expected to show quick profits, because of the small numbers printed of such commemoratives as the 1931 Yorktown, the 1933 Byrd Expedition, the 1934 Mothers' Day flat plate printing, and the 1936 international philatelic exhibition souvenir sheets.

A rapid advance in one issue out of ten, however, will not give a quick profit on the entire amounts held. if every issue is purchased, because of the drag of the other nine stamps which will increase in value slowly. Investments in quantities of cancelled stamps, on the other hand. are likely to show profits for the first five years, and then stabilization. The boom in prices of the international philatelic exhibition issue, which was sold out at the Washington philatelic agency in less than four months, continues.

The sheet of four stamps, face value 12 cents, is now bringing 30 cents at auction. Some auctioneers predict a rise to 50 cents per sheet few months. The 16-cent imperforate "Farley" issue of 1935 suffered a slump at the end of the summer, selling for 55 cents per stamp instead of the high of 75 cents it reached a month ago. The high quotations apparently brought quantities of them out of hiding. Something on the order of a threepoint study in geography and ethnography is glimpsed in a set of stamps--three of them -just put out by Bulgaria.

Naturally, as might be expected, the issue came simultaneously with the all-Slavish Geographic and Ethnological congress held at Sofia. Two the stamps take up the subject of geography. One shows a snowy mountain top, that of Mt. Moussalla in the Balkans, upon which there is a rological station. Its value 1s 1-leva, with the color deep purple.

The other has a reproduction of the island of Nesserbe in the Black Sea, an airview, printed 2 DE NO in dark blue on a 7-leva stamp. Ethnography is treated on the 2- leva dark blue denomination, on which a peasant woman is illustrated. She carries baskets laden with produce, prime among which are grapes. The stamps are of the modernistic design which has characterized recent issues from Bulgaria, with a tendency toward the wopd-block effect in printing. A comparatively small number were prepared, 000 of the lower values and 10,000 of the 7-1..
