Preview of Movie Films
 Acid Test of Popularity

HOLLYWOOD, May 11.-(P)-The preview of motion pictures in sub- urban theaters of Los Angeles has come to be looked on by producers as the acid test of popularity with audiences.
 Representatives of the producing company, laugh and tear' spotters, are scattered through these first night audiences. The stars, too, ire quently attend the previews.
 This diagnosis of picture, pro- ducers declare, often sheds strange lights on situations thought at first to be comedy or tragedy. If a so- called dramatic situation fails to bring the desired tension, or, worse yet, elicits laughter, the film is hustled back to the "cutting room" for am putation. Comedy that fails to pro duce sufficient mirth is bolsered up.

MARKET CLOSES HEAVY.
Lower Money Helps to Check Selling
i'm Last Hour.

NEW YORK, September Is OP).-
Stock prices displayed a sharp reversal
of form today, an early outburst of
strength being followed by sharp re-
action which carried many issues
down 10 points. The selling, which
originated with professional bear
traders. and eventually encompassed
a large amount of profit taking, was
associated with the circulation of re-
ports that legislation to restrict the
percentage of funds which banks
would he permitted to loan on stock
and bond collateral and other de-
fationary measures would be intro
duced by Chairman Madden of the
House committee on banking at the
next session of Congress.
The recent sustained advance in
many issues had left the market in a
weakened technical condition which
facilitated bear operations. Motors
bore the brunt of the selling Heavi-
ness of the oils was directly traceable
to the omission of the Prairie Oil and
Gas dividends.
The closing was heavy. Selling was
partially checked in the late dealings
when the call money rate was lowered
to 4 per cent, but efforts to bring
about general rally proved unavail-
ing. Several coppers and local trac-
ton issues recovered, but United
States Steel, American Can and other
leaders lowered around the lowest
levels of the day. Brooklyn Manhat-
tan Transit established a new high
record at 50. Total sales approxi-
mated 1000 900 shares.

NEW YORK. September l5.-Eery
heavy trading again in some of the
lower priced industrials swelled the
Volume OF business on the Stock EN-
change today to still larger proper
tions. There was a big turnover in
Willys-Overland and in Fisk Rubber,
and this stirred up increased interest
in other stocks selling around the
same or lower levels. 1t was day,
however. in which selling was more
active than it had been for at least a
fortnight and from the outset this
selling made itself felt over a large
part of the share list.
Some Sharp Declines.
High-priced industrialsx always, of
course. the most sensitive, came down,
some of them sharply. This was true
of American Can, Chrysler Motor and
Mack Trucks. Atlantic, Gulf and
West Indies, as a stock in which large
paper profits had accumulated, was
affected more than the average by the
downward turn. United States Steel
common started in over half point
higher at 1851, but was quick to
yield TO the subsequent selling. Amer
ican Bosch Magnetic had a spectacular
jump over points, which was sue
ceeded, however, by an equally sharp
reaction.
During the period when the market
was comparatively strong there were
numerous high records made. On the
list were WillyS-OVerland and Nash in
the motor group, the latter up Is

the rubber and tire section, both

catching spectators who had gone
short of the former because of the
coal strike. When these two stocks
move together it suggests the possi-
bility of something being done with
Baltimore's holdings of Reading.
Oil Shares Depressed.
The rise in American Sugar above
70 aroused suspicion regarding the
likelihood of dividend resumption.

STRUCTURE.
To COST 8
MILLION
Early Action by Congress Ex-
pected-BuiIding Likely to
Be South Of Capitol

Final plans for construction OF
new House Office Building to
cost approximately 100000 will
be decided after the arrival IN
Washington of Speaker Elect
Nicholas Longworth, about No
vember Is.
Architect David Lynn said to-
day the services of a new organi-
cation known as the Allied Archi-
tects of Washington have been
obtained in drawing up the plans.
This organization, composed of
seventeen architects, has been re-
tanned in an advisory capacity.
This is the first time such a
step has been taken in Washing
ton, Lynn said.
Architect Group Unique
The local architects organization
is unique. The only similar or
ganization of the kind was estab
lished recently in Los Angeles to
assist municipal authorities In de-
signing monumental or government
buildings.
The new House Office Building
| plans will be submitted to Con
gress the first day of the coming
session. December T. 1t is probable
three plans will be submitted,
though one will be given preference
! by the House Office Building Com,
mission.
Plans. were placed before the
House last session for erection of
an annex within the court of the
! present House Office Building. to
cost $2.750.000. This would provide
375 additional rooms.
First Plan Seems Doomed
This plan. however, probably
will be abandoned by the commits
| sion in favor Of the construction of
new building on land owned by
| the Government, south of the Capt.
! toll. The proposed building will
cover two city squares between b
| street, New Jersey and Delaware
avenues and c street southeast.
Architect Lynn has estimated
that this building will cost between
| seven and eight million dollars.
The expense probably will he met
| by Congress independently of the
proposed national building program.
The architect of the Capitol has
/ completed a survey Of the land
south OF the Capitol and has pro.
vided in his estimate for construc-
tion Of tunnel connecting the
new building with the present
House office Building and the
| Capitol.
| Suggestions have been made TO
| the commission that the building he
erected either on the square south
of the present building or east of
| the present building and south Of
| the Library OF Congress. These
! plans will not be recommended, on
! the ground they would place the
! offices of members at an incon-
| Venient distance from the Capitol
