Just sa the travelling repertory companies of years ago cradled future stars of the drama, no did burlesque nourish players who were, later. to become headliners in vaudeville and musical comedy. For burlesque was, after all, the by-product of the beor gardens which fioulshed oven prior to the memorable days of the late Tony Pastor.

Some of the greatest stars of the drama have come from burlesque. One of them in David Workeid. Many who became famous in vandrofile were products of the burlesque stage and hundreds of musical comedy rateis lites were graduates from that school of entertainment.
One of these was Louise Bresser, who made her stage debut in birles- que when she was 15 years old, to become one of the outstanding per sonalities of vaudeville and comedy and, later, in motion It is a coincidence worth noting Miss Dresser portrays the role of an ex-burlesque queen in "Stepping Sis- Lern," the Fox comedy, showing at the King's Theatre to-day.

Policy"
The success of this company in the past is due to the fact that we have consistently followed a business policy which makes our organization unique in Shanghai,
The basic principle of this policy is that in no phase of our activities are we in competition with Our desire to any of our clients and customers. serve their best interests is never obscured by a regard for conflicting interests of our own, for such interests do not exist,
For that reason we are not dealers in real estate or real estate investors, but realtors or real estate agents. As such we act as the medium for bringing together buyer and seller, receiving our compensation from commissions on sales which are made. This means that we do not reserve choice purchasers for ourselves, for if we did that, we would be in direct competition with our clients who look to us to secure for them the best possible investment. It is because clients know we will not violate their trust that such a large number come to us, and that this Company has become the real ESTATE MARKET PLACE OF SHANGHAI
