MARQUEE GROUP'S IPO CONSISTS OF 3.35 MILLION SHARES

          The Marquee Group Inc. began its IPO of 3.35 million
     units, each containing one share of common stock and one
     warrant to buy a share of common stock, priced at $5.00 per
     unit.  The Marquee Group states in its IPO the recent
     proliferation of sports-related TV and radio stations has
     developed an increased demand for sports-related
     programming, resulting in the promotion and sponsorship of
     sports events developing into a major area of corporate
     advertising and product development (Marquee Group).  
          ONE TO WATCH: Neal Travis of the N.Y. POST writes that
     Wall Street has "a good excuse to read the sports pages
     along with the stock-market quotes, thanks to impresario
     Marc Roberts," who recently took his Worldwide Entertainment
     and Sports public on NASDAQ.  In "an interesting move,"
     investors have a "chance to spread their risk over a stable
     of professional athletes," including many NFL draft picks
     controlled by Roberts and his company (N.Y. POST, 12/9).
