came a hunted figure. Eventually
his story landed in Hollywood and
so we have I'm a Fugitive"
which opened yesterday on the
screen at the Metropolitan Thea
ter.
Fascinating story
It happens to be a pretty fasci-
mating story, sometimes q little
grim with its exposition Of me
diaeval tortures, but generally so
wen told and 50 vigorously acted
by Paul. NUM- and an extra large
cast, the pictorial account.of what
happened will hold the average
movie audience enthralled to the
last flicker.
How close this narrative ap-
proximates actual truths is a
question. Suffice that 1t shows
James Allen innocently made the
accomplice in a major crime and
sentenced to ten years in the
chain gang. Here he endures
inhuman hardships and event
ually contriveS to elude vigilant
guards and bloodhounds and
achieve liberty. Reestahlishing
himself as an honored citizen,
his past is betrayed by a tawrdy
and deceitful wife and he con-
sents to go back and finish his
sentence.
Again in the chain gang the
State, through its officials,
repudiates its promises, and Allen
once more escapes. He winds
up a haunted and hunted figure
who must keep moving and al
ways In dread Of his pursuerS.
Director Mervyn lie Roy has
managed to tell his story with
a minimum Of dialogue and by
a camera fluidity that keeps the
action constantly alert. I liked
particularly the degree Of excite
ment he conceived for the two
thrilling escapes, the manner in
which he provides lighter relief
from drab episodes.
Too Obvious
The director is overfond OF
dropping calendar pages to indi-
cate passing Of time, Of shooting
speeding railroad trains to indi-
| cate changes in locale, Of fire.
quent use Of maps to make the
travels Of the screen star appar-
ent. It's a little too much Of the
obvious and what could be told
with a line of dialogue but his
general average is for excellence
very, very high, despite this re-
dundancy.
Paul NUM- plays the fugitive
and contributes one Of those calm
and impressively forceful per-
formanceS which give him rank
with Hollywood's finest actors.
He is given telling aid by a huge
cast in which Helen Vinson, Glen
da Farrell, Allen Jenkins, Noel
Francis, David Landau, Robert
McWade, Berton Churchill, Ed
ward Ellis, Robert Warwick and
Preston Foster shine. There is no
harm in saying again I'm a Fugi-
tive" is one Of the most expertly
produced and interesting pictures

Gentleman ALWAYS

Whether he plays a crook or a
c1ubman, a detective or a criminal,
William Powell is invariably the
punctilious, perfectly hammered
gentleman, the menace with a
smile and charm. Whatever his

his standing in the drawing room
Is perfect. This is strikingly dem

waiting for her at a chosen
SPOT. AS soon as the car was
parked, he would appear on the
scene with his gun. The sucker
would invariably come across
and Just as invariably make no
squawk to the police. He
wanted no publicity. The wife
wouldn't like 1t.
A Simple Plan
Until Henry came along,
then, everything was hotsy-
totsy. The girl would grow
hysterical and the sucker would
never suspect her. AS time
went along, the girl and her
companion grew bolder. 1t was
so absurdly simple that they
no longer cared whether a man
was married or not. And that's
how Henry died.
Tom was sure of his facts.
The girl was no longer engaged
in the racket. The publicity
Of the shooting had killed all
chances for further profit. Her
coworker had disappeared and
Tom knew that he had no
chance of ever finding him. So
1t was the girl who would be
made to pay for Henry's life.
But how? Report the entire
story to the police? Foolish
Nothing would come Of it. He
would have to settle this score
by himself. He thought care
fully and long. And then he
made his decision.
Sitting on the beach with her
one afternoon, he suggested a
canoe ride in the ocean. She
agreed. Soon they were riding
the waves far beyond the life
lines. Tom kept going further
and further. The girl grew puz-
'zled.
You're going out too far.
Tom" she cried. Whats
She never finished that SEN
tence. A look of horror came
over her face as she saw Toms
eyes.
YOU'RE going further than
this" he muttered. You're 60
ing so far that you'll never
come back. You're going to die,
you hear?
For two years, I've been
waiting for this. Henry R
was my best friend. You led
him to his death just the same
as I'm leading you to yours.
I'm going to even the score"
The girl made an attempt to
leap from the canoe. Tom raised
the paddle and struck her a
blow across the temple. The
canoe turned over and both
went into the water. Tom
grasped her by the hair and
began to swim toward shore. -
But he held her head be-
meath the water! The blow had
stunned her and the rest was
easy. By he time the life saver
pulled them both to the beach,
the girl was dead. Toms job
was over...
In his pocket, Tom carries
"a clipping. He will always
carry it, I guess.

"As B explained the. ac-

overturned and the girl had

she fell into the water. Al,
though he was almost a mile
from shore. he brought the girl

feat.

Times Herald Show

Since there appears to be q
political complexion to these post
election observations, here is the
place to set down that The Times
Herald movie show on election
night was engineered by Projec-
tionists E. Holz and M. Morris,
of Loew's Columbia Theater.
They ran the machines which
functioned so smoothly and it
was the first national election
where the waiting crowds had the
benefit of sound motion pictures.
Projectionist Morris has been
serving Times election night bull
letin board crowds since 1915
when he flashed the news Of
woodrow Wilson's election to
those who remained up until
early in the morning. Portable
sound apparatus makes modern
movies possible in place of the
old-time stereopticon.
The greatest innovation Of all
was last Tuesday night, says Op-
orator Morris, when the Hearst
papers in their zeal for service
to readers furnished $500 port
able seats. These outdoor perches
caused more enthusiasts for the
latest word to endure moisture
than any event since the first
Dempsey-Tunney fight at Phila-
delphia.

HOSPITAL SCORED
At HOUSE HEARING
Cannon Accuses Casualty of
Failing to Answer
Emergency Call.

A story of the alleged failure ' OF
Casualty Hospital to answer an emer-
gency telephone call on the night Of
April "a last year was told the House
Subcommittee on Appropriations by
Chairman Cannon of Missouri during
recent hearings on the 1888 District
appropriation bill, the transcript OF
which was released today for publ-
cation.
DR.. Young of the Casualty staff
explained that there is always some
one on duty at the hospital to answer
telephone calls and he was at loss TO
understand the reason for the failure
of telephone response on that nlgnt.
At the request of the committee he
promised to make an investigation and
submit report.
Chairman Cannon said:
'On the night 1 refer to, was walk
ing past an apartment house on
Second street and several people from
the top story called to me some one
was being murdered. I called the
police. Within a very few minutes
there were three cruising cars there,
and they found at the top story
called Casualty repeatedly and Casualty
would not answer. The police drove
out there, and found everybody asleep.
They finally dragged an inferno out
and got him into the ambulance and
the police brought him and the
ambulance back. He came and locked
at the woman. Some question arose
then as to whether she had physician
of her own, and they permitted him
to return to Casualty. Then they
discovered they could not get another
physician, and called Casualty again.
Casualty notified them, very belliger-
emily, that they had been out there
once and did not propose to come
again. The inferno hung up the
receiver and presumably went back to
sleep. I want to know If that is the
character of service you give out
there?"
DR.. Young-No. sir: every ambu-
lance call that comes in is supposed to
be answered Immediately.
Mr.. Cannon-It was not answered
in that case and how do you account
for your refusing treatment? Ap-
parently the woman was dying at the
time, or was thought to be dead. II
she had died, I would have considered
your institution subject to a very
serious charge.
DR.. young-An I can say, sir, the
ambulance is supposed to have an
swered every call.
Mr. Cannon-You did not do it IN
that case; we would be glad to have
the instance investigated, and we
would like to have report On 1t.
DR.. Young-Very well, sir.

Hoarding and Circulating
Explanation Is Made of How Treasury KNOWS That
Hodrding Decreases When There Is
"Less" Currency Circulation.

When the Treasury Department an
nounces that there is less currency In
circulation because there has been a
decrease in boarding, it means exactly
what it says.
To clear up any misunderstanding
that may exist concerning this use OF
words, a reporter went to Treasury off,
cialS today and received the following
explanation:
As the Treasury uses the term, cur
rency is in circulation when 1t Is in eX-
istence, but not in the Federal Reserve
or Treasury vaults.
At the present time there Is ABOUT
S5, 500, 900 of currency in crcula-
ton. In other words that much money
has been passed out by the Treasury
and Federal Reserve and is either being
boarded or used by the people III IheIr
business transactions.
For example, however, let us assume
that Mr.. x becomes alarmed about
business conditions. collects S1,0O0,-
600 900 Of the S.. 800 900, 900 and buries
it in his backyard. So far as the Gov
ernment is concerned the buried money
is still in circulation, but to keep busi-
ness moving the Treasury or Federal
Reserve system actually issues $1,000
900 900 in new currency to replace that
being boarded by Mr.. x.
Then, instead Of the original figure,
there would be S6,500 100000 outstand-
ing, or 'in circulation" in the sense
that it is outside the Treasury and Fed
eral Reserve vaults.
Obviously, then, the Treasury would
say there is more money in circulation,
namely, Sc 500 100000 instead of $780,
100000, because Mr.. x has boarded
81 900, 900 900.
Assume, however, that Mr. x gets
over his fright, digs up the buried
money and spends it. In short while
this money passes through the banks
into the Federal Reserve system. AS
fast as it comes in, it is placed back in
the vaults, or taken out Of circulation.
When the entire 81 000.0000 900 that Mr..
x boarded gets into the vaults of the
Evening star., 1932-04-14

Treasury or Federal Reserve system.
there is left outstanding only S5,5OO,-
000. .000
Mr.. x. therefore, by deciding to bring
his money out of hiding and spend 1t,
has brought about decrease of 81 ,OOO,-
600 900 in the total amount of currency
in circulation.
The Treasury then says there is less
money in circulation because there has
been a decrease in boarding.

'DR. MANU- RETURNS
AS RUMAN|A'S HEAD
Veteran Ex:Premier Is Called
by King Carol to Solve
Cabinet Crisis.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, Rumania October 90
DIR. Juliu Manu-, veteran leader Of the
Rumanian Peasant party-wno cnce
went into a frowning retirement of 81
lece, some of his friends said, because
of the presence in Ruman;a of the rcd
haired Nine. Magda LupeScu, friend of
King Carol-WaS sworn in today as
head of the new cabinet of the King
The veteran former premier, who was
head of the the government when Carol
suddenly returned from his Paris exile
more than two years ago, succeeded in
forming cabinet last night, after a
political sqlabble which lasted all week.
He was called by King Carol last
week from his native Pennsylvania to
solve the crisis that developed out OF
the quarrel between former Premier
Vaida- -Voevod and Nicholas Titulescu,
former Ambassador to Great Britain.
Vaida- -Voevod had refused to accept M.
Titulescu as foreign minister, and the
latter refused to accept the formers re-
cent treaty of'non-aggreSsion with Soviet
Russia.
Situation More Difficult.
While Dr. MANU- maintained his
strict policy of silence in retirement
last year. Premier Nicholas Jorga and
King Carol were entering precarlouS
economic period in which things be-
came worse and more difficult for the
welding OF power.
Europes financial crisis began in
earnest. Wheat and oil prices tumbled
and Rumania found it more and more
difficult to dispose Of her surplus or to
do any business at all in the maze OF
4 Strin
Tax receipts fell off, and the payment OF
civil service salaries and even army oh-
GERS pay was in areas.
During all of it Manu- maintained
his silence. which. his political follow
ers said, had become Numbering de-
nunciation." Back in his native Tran
sylvania he practiced law. Discreet
gestures of reconciliation from Carol
met more silence.
Economist Speaks Out.
Finally, Charles Rist, French econ
omist, who had been invited to eX-
anime the nations accounts, spoke cut.
In the most blunt language he SAID
Rumania's financial condition was bad.
Just how bad, he added 1t would be
difficult to say, for even the book
keeping was bad. Hopes of new
foreign loan were knocked into cooked
hat.
The opposition party exclaimed in
rage. Sharp words passed between the
King and Premier Jorga. his old tutor.
Jorga and his cabinet resigned.
After the elections in July repre-
sentatives of the National Peasants
party went to Maniu's Transylvanian
retreat and pleaded with him to return
to politics He finally consented to re-
turn to Parliament and the come
back" was completed today.
Where Nine. Magda is today was
uncertain. Reports that she was living
near Bucharest have been denied by
the government.
