j. s. GOLD STOCKS
SCORE LARGE GAIN
Turning of Tide Seen as
Marking Restoration of Con-
fidence in U. S. Finances.
BY VICTOR EuBANK.
Associated Press Financial writer.


NEW YORK, october 3l.--The song
of all going out and nothing coming
a. as applied to Americas gold stock
changed its tune today after some $780,
100000 in bars and coin had been ear
marked for foreign account or exported
For the first time in several weeks
stocks of monetary gold in this coun-
try, as reported by the Federal Re-
serve banks, scored a comparatively
large net gain of $27,439, 100. Most Of
this total was accounted for in the
release of metal which had been hello
for foreign account in the sum OF 500.
8O2,5 Canada shipped In 81 900 900
while the exports consisted only OF
s36S, 400 sent to Peru.
European Confidence Returns.
The shifting of the gold movement
is attributed to various causes, the
principal one being that European con-
fidence in the value of the dollar and
the financial strength Of America has
returned
When England event of" the gold
standard, according to the banking
powers, the world received a decided
shock in the neighborhood of its pocket
book. The people of Europe, it was
said, began to wonder If the United
States would not be the next country
to discard the yellow metal as the
basis of its currency.
Immediately foreigners began to liu-
uidate their securities in this country
and demand gold in payment The re-
suit was that gold went out by the Ship
load. The ability and willingness OF
America to pay on the nail, however
had its psychological effect and re-
Gently the outgo began to diminish
may be reversed, with the United States
gaining gold on balance again before
the end of the year.
$500, zoo, 600 Earmarked.
Today the amount of gold under ear
mark for foreign account at the Fed
eral Reserve Bank totaled approxi-
mately $500,000000. This, III course
has already been deducted from the
country's gold stocks, and consequently
in coming weeks cannot have any eff
feet upon this market, save as releases
from earmark might increase our gold
stock
OF the exports in October-some
$500 600 .000--France accounted for
some 100000 600 Besides France
Holland took about $35, 900 600, Switzer-
land nearly 2G.000 900, Belgium around
Sl2 100000 the balance going to Por-
tugal, Germany England, Italy, SWe-
den. Austria. Poland and Danzig
Today's large amount released from
earmarking was believed in some quar-
ters to be the result of the shipment
today by England of SIS 900 600 in gold
TO the Bank of France This amount
1t was understood was intended to be
divided between the latter bank and
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
as part payment of the $3.50 600 600
credit which Great Britain obtained
from the United States and France in
August.
Instead of shipping the United States
share OF this gold to New York, at a
heavy cost of insurance and transporta-
ton. the Bank of England, it was
thought, decided to save money by
shipping the total to France and the
Bank of France simply cabled a release
of gold which was earmarked here

Neutrality.

By the Associated Press.
America is not taking sides in
Chinas dispute with Japan
Undersecretary Castle of the State
Department said yesterday a policy OF
strict and undertaking neutrality was
being pursued He saw no justification
for a reported feeling at Geneva that
the United States was favoring the
Toxic government.
This rumor had its origin in an in

Japan evacuate its troops from Man

nary to arbitration of the disagree

Not Ask for Views.
The washington Government has no
been asked for an expression of it
views on the Leagues action and regards
II as a League question upon which this
Government as non-member, should
make no public comment.

Girl

Ethel Barrymore Colt, 18-year-
old daughter of Ethel Barrymore
and member of the ninth genera
ton of the most widely known
family in the American theater,
has signed a contract with George
White, whereby she will be fea-
tured in the next edition of San
dale" now in rehearsal.
Miss Colt said that she had
been eager to go into musical
comedy work for some time. She
studied singing in italy when she
was in school there, and in the
White revue she expects to sing,
dance and act in sketches.
Miss Colt has obtained the
consent of her mother, with
whom she made her stage debut
last fall in Scarlet Sister Mary"
for her appearances in Scan
dals."
Il never believe in interfering
with my children" Miss Barry
more said yesterday at the Apollo

her daughter to sign the con-

Although Miss Barrymore has
never been seen in musical
comedy, Miss Colt will not be

that her brother John, Miss Colts
uncle, had played in such en-
.tertainments as a young man.

Many Were Liked

Abolishing printed programs in
the movie theaters really con-
ceived the job of master OF cere-
monies. The primary purpose
then of an M. C. was to an
nounce acts, to serve as laison
officer. between back stage and
the folks out front, to keep an
audience informed. The M. c.
was expected to have an en-
gaging personality. a certain
breeziness of manner. facility for
smooth expression and, if pos
sible, good looks. Soon they be-
gan to lead the band (although
many are without musical back
ground or education. merely stick
wavers). others began to sing,
still more to hoof a bit, many
decided they had the talent
which makes comedians.
So the master of ceremonies
evolved into an entertainer. The
business of making introductlons
became secondary. The performer
who was held over from week to
week tried to cook up new
routine each seven days and
snatch enough time out of the
stage program to hold his own
in the spotlight against the
travelling entertainers.

Doug, Mary Will
Make New Trip
T o Europe

HOLLYWOOD, July 15.-Be-
tween golf and the wanderlust,
Douglas Fairbanks has small time
these days for his old enthu-
siasm-motion pictures.
Except for the film of his
Oriental tour. which he now is
piecing together. Doug will not
be represented with a picture this
year.
His mind is full of a new. trip.
He and Mary leave here in the
fall for Norway, where Doug will
fish, and then they go to SWitzer-
land, presumably to be in St.
Moritz for the holidays. After
that, a trip to India is on the
schedule. Doug says he knows
the ropes there now, and that
Mary must not miss this part Of
the Orient.
The ways of the two part in
the East. Mary returns to Holly
wood, while Doug goes to Africa
to do a little hunting, and, I
fancy, to shoot a picture this
time with the definite idea of
releasing it as a super-travelogue.
The film of the last trip was
taken more or less tongue-in-
cheek. and its commercial value
was not recognized until Doug'S
return to Hollywood. Charac-
teriStically, however. he now
speaks of it with enthusiasm.
1t has grown, too, into a fea-
ture-length picture. One shot of
Victor Fleming killing a leopard
as it leaped for an elephant is
described by Doug as especially
thrilling. The star himself got
four leopards, a wild bear, a tiger
and a giant lizard--or about one
kill to every 33 hunting suits he
received from maharajahs.
