CAPITOL STARS. RICHARD DIX IN
 DARING AIR FILM.
Lost Squadron" Reveals Intimate Details of
 Picture Studios

"The Lost Squadron, starring Richard Dix, will be presented to- night at the Capitol theatre. The .photoplay is a movie within a movie, depiS-ing the neck-breaking stunts of the film dare-devils in a thrilling modern day romance of the air.
 The film is Hollywood's answer to the persistent public plea for an action film based on the ad- venturous exploits of men courting danger for the sake of the thrill it gives them.
 Thrills Are Genuine
 The thrills in the picture are genuine. The author of the story, Dick Grace, the screens king of stunt aviators, makes three breathless crackups-one into the ocean and the other two are per- pendicular power dives to the earth.
 Cleared as it is to- the tempo and the unselfish comraderie of men in peril, the film neverthe- less supports a beautiful romance which blooms into full flower out of a chaos of wrecked planes and breathless tail spins.
 Film Activities Shown "The Lost Squadron" is the story of an air picture in the making. The gay panoply of Hollywood's great film industry is revealed most intimately. Great batteries of cameras fill the screen on oc- casions; gala Hollywood premiere is shown and the mysterious sound stages are opened for the first time to public inspection. The cast is in every respect equal to the subject matter. Sup porting Dix are Mary Astor, Erich von Stroheim, Joel McCrea, Dor othy Jordan, Robert Armstrong, Hugh Herbert and others.

i, MANILA, P. l., Aug. 16.-Nena Linda, Mary Walter, Alma Bella and Naty Fernandez-Filipino nov ie stars-share the popularity of Greta Garbo. Constance Bennett and Ruth Chatterton in the Phili- ppines, but their potion is threat ened now by plans to produce sound films here.
 Two small concerns have import ted expensive equipment and an- nouaced plans to produce talikes at .;fnall cost for the more than 300 theatres in the islands. A large percentage of these theatres al-
 ready are equipped for sound films By. far the greatest number of pictures shown in Manila and the provinces come from Hollywood, but more than two score native pictures have been turned out in the small studios here, one concern having made 30 silent movies,
 mostly in the last two years.
 The Filipino actors;7 some of whom are of part American or Spanish blood, are not paid Holly wood salaries, and many are em- ployed on a part time basis.
 The pictures produced here show the Hollywood influence, but cost only q fraction of the feature films made in California. Jose Nepomu- |ceno, head of the largest studio producing silent films, said the av- craze cost was less than $7,500, but that about $30,000 each was spent to produce two recent feature TO- mancss. M
 James Matthews. who launched the principal project to make sound films, believes creditable talktcs can be produced on the same low scale. A native of the islands with experience as a cam Ierarian in Hollywood, he brought Ia large quantlty oi equipment to Manila.
 Maria Matthews, a dark k-haired lfavorite of Filipino audiences, is to lbe starred in the first island talkie. None of the Philippine films has lbeen expected, except to Hawaii, where there. are more than 80000 FFilipinos, but Nepomuceno said he believed the latest feature, "The Moro Pirate" would have some Sappeal in the United States and Europe. This and film version sof the novel ''Noli Me Tangere,' 7 sby Jose Rizal, the islands national hero, are the most ambitious of the films yet produced here. |

EXCESS RESERVES BOOSTED.
S400,000,00 in Federal Banks "Un-
paralleled Figure"

NEW YORK, September 80 (P.-The
twin forces of steady gold gains and
the return of boarded currencies to the
banks had resulted today in boosting
excess reserves of Federal Reserve
member banks to the unparalleled figure
of about S400,0000 000
This is money placed with the Federal
Reserve banks above the legal require
ments of member banks. 1t is idle
money and the amount is sufficient to
form a base for extending $4,000,000,-
900 of additional credit.
The Federal Reserve System. bankers
pointed out, has the power to reduce
this large total, but is not doing SO be-
cause it is seeking to stimulate the
more active use of credit by making it
SO abundant that the banks will seek
outlets where they can put their funds
to work. BY selling its present heavy
holdings of Government bonds, the Re
serve banks could sop up most, or all,
of the surplus.
A further gain of s2o,oO0,0O0 was re-
ported for the week ended yesterday
in the Nations monetary gold stocks.
The total is now S4,l85, 100000. On
June Is, when the low point OF the
Summers gold exodus was reached. the
Nations gold supply had dipped down
to $1,000 100000. The increase since
then has been s276, 100000
In the meantime currency has con-
tinued to come back to banks from
mattresses and tin boxes of the hoard
ers. Because of this improvement,
money circulation as reported by the
Federal Reserve System decreased an
other sat 000 000 last week

The Public Utilities Commission yes
teerday stayed fcr 10 days its order
reducing telephone bills by 10 per cent.
The order was to have been effective
on bills rendered for service after to-
day.
The Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Co., however. asked Justice Pey-
ton Gordon of District Supreme Curt
to issue restraining order. Justice
Gordon asked the commission to suS-
pend its order while he studied the
briefs submitted by both sides at the
hearing on the company's petition yes
terday.
At the same time the commission
changed from October l to November l
the effective date Of its order requiring
the company to credit its depreciation
reserve with per cent per annum in
terest, an order which would have the
effect Of making some S350,00 more
per annum available for rate reductions.
Arguments en- the company's petition
occupied most of yesterday in Justice
Gordon's court. At the end he an
nounced that it would be impossible for
him to reach a decision for several days
and accordingly requested the commits
sion to stay its order.
The company contended the order
would amount to a confiscation Of their
property, while William A. Roberts. fer
the commission, denied this and said
all Of the evidence in the company S
afidavits had been considered carefully
by the commission in reaching its de-
cision.

TENANT MIGRATION
IS STARTED TODAY
Apartment Transfers This
Year Are in Excess of
Total in 1881.

Washington's large body Of tenants
are engaged today in the annual whole
sale moving from one list of apart
ments to another, piling peak loads of
work on moving van concerns and pub
lie utilities and, last but not least, on
Mother and Dad and other available
members of families.
The predominant portion OF leases
here run for 12-month periods and the
most Of each end September 80, causing
flood tide of transfer business each
year in late September and early Octo-
ber.
No Available Figures.
While there are no available figures
giving an accurate check on transfers
for comparable periods, indications are
moving this year is of greater proper
tions than last.
These indications are seen in records
of the public utility concerns regarding
the number of new connection orders
for their services. These figures, how
ever. are not conclusive as to the num-
ber of family moves being made.
The Washington Gas Light Co. finds
that it has received 1926 new supply
orders during the first "a days of this
month. as compared with 3,160 for the
first "a days of September Of last year.
Figures gathered this morning for the
period of September 26 to % this year
show 1872 new supply orders to the gas
company, this bringing the September
total for this year to date to AIT
Officials of the company point out that
today will run up the biggest total for
any day of this month. The September
total for this year thus will exceed the
figure of 4150 new supply orders for
September of last year.
During the past year, from Septem-
ber l through August, there were a
total Of 35,126 new supply orders. which
was approximately the same as the dis
continue orders received by the Wash
ington Gas Light Co.
Orders received by the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Co. for a moving
of telephone service for its customers
shows a more clear picture of the in
crease in family transfers this year
During August of last year it received
LIB move" orders as compared with
1,46l for August for this year.
Transfers Last Year.
In September of last year there were
1880 such transfers as compared with a
closely checked estimate of 1900 for
September of this year. In October of
last year there were 1,699 such orders
as compared with an estimate of 1900
for October of this year.
The figures of the Potomac Electric
Power Co. for orders for new installa-
tions also shows the trend to the peak
of such transfers. Last year it received
about 200 such orders day in the early
part of September and the figures rose
to 582 on September 81. The daily
figures then declined to 478 on October
l and to 273 on October 81.
