british LOSE HOPE
OF DEBT REVISION
UnlikeIihood of Moratorium
Extension Is Indicated in
Newspapers.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, November 19.-Traversing
the long road which leads from hope to
disappointment in one short week, lead
ing British newspapers tomorrow will
carry Washington and New York dis
patches in which their correspondents
indicate Congress is unlikely to extend
the moratorium on war debts and that
public sentiment in the United States
demands their collection on the due
date, December IS.
A week ago these same papers were
filled with optimistic predictions con-
cerning the effect of the British note
to. Washington concerning the $685.
$4,000 debt due from this country and
editorials voiced a widespread expecta-
torium would be granted and revision
of the debt schedules be inaugurated.
Tip by Hoover Reported.
A front-page article tomorrow in the
Sunday Express, by its diplomatic cor
respondent, will say: Let us melt down
our trinkets, our ScVereigns and our
wedding rings and ship them across to
the United States" He will say the
British government was given tip
from America that President Hoover
would support its application for recon-
sideration of the debts, but that Mr.
Hoover now has had to reconsider his
plans.
The newspaper will comment that an
emergency budget seems inevitable for
Britain and that, if America insists
upon December payments, the Lausanne
Conference is likely to be reconvened.
The Lausanne Conference agreed to
reduction in reparations due the
allies from Germany, but the plan de-
pended on similar action being taken
in regard to the debts due the United
States
The New York correspondent of the
Observer will revive the Uncle Shy
lock" expression in his Sunday article,
explaining that France hopes to win.
with revived wine trade in the United
States, as much from sad old Uncle
Shylock" as she would have paid in
meeting the debts.
Snowden Repeats Charge.
Viscount SroWden, who resigned as
lord privy seal in the Macdonald cabi-
net several weeks ago, will reiterate, in
| a published article. a contention often
heard here that "for Is months these
sums were Americas contribution to
the war and meanwhile the allies were
spending their money and doing the
lighting"
Another commentator will remark
that unless debt payments are post
poned, Britons cannot look forward to
a decrease in the income tax rate next
year.
Most papers link the pound sterling
erratic movement during the week with
| the debts discussion and indicate a
further fall is probable if the debt in
! stallment is paid from dollars in the
| equalization fund, leaving the fund
too small for sterling stabilization pur-
| poses.

the various department heads
President Hoover is preparing a
Budget for the fiscalyear beginning
next July which is expected to
show a net saving of $550,000,000
compared with the appropriations
for the present year.
To make this possible, and to
insure the necessary cooperation
the President summoned his cab
met to an extraordinary cabinet
session at the White House yes
terday. For nearly two hours the
President went over the budget
subject with his cabinet associ-
ates, and it was learned after
wards that he is not only de-
termined to present a balanced
budget when Congress meets next
month, but is hopeful that this
will be accomplished.

later in the day issued this formal
statement:
AT the meeting of the cabinet this
morning, the budget situation was re-
viewed and the reductions in appro-
pris.tions for the fiscal year, beginning
July next, were settled at about $780,
100000 This will, however, be offset
by certain increases in uncomfortable
items, such as interest and amortization
on the public debt and tax refunds to
the extent of about $3.50, 100000.
The increase in fixed charges is

director Of the budget. Mr.. Hoover
minced no words in making it plain
that when he presents the next budget
to Congress when it meets again in

cost of running the country for the next
fiscal year considerably below the $4,-
$4,000, 600 provided for in the budget
submitted last December.

Secretary of the Treasury Mills, who
acted as spokesman for the President
when the meeting was over, said that
the new budget would show con-
siderable reduction. He added:

Charlie Chaplin
Hits Revived

The worlds bestowed funny
man, Charlie Chaplin, is being
brought back to the screen in
the two-reel comedies that made
him famous. These comedies,
which brought this comedian
from Second-rate music halls in
London and the cheaper vaude-
vile theaters of this country, are
being revived by the Van Beuren
Corporation, and, from previeW
reports, these classics of heart
touching humor have been made
even more laughter provoking
with the addition of sound and
music.
The first of the series, easy
Street" (and who doesn't remem-
Der this one), will be shown at
R.-K.-O. Keith's beginning Wednes-
day, October II, as a special
added attraction with that thea

Phantom of Crestwood," which
will be given a preview showing
with the Wednesday opening.

Keith Premiere
Wednesday

Pursuance of it's policy of ac-
cording special recognition to out
standing pictures by giving them
pre-vieW openings ahead of the
regular scheduled Friday opening
day, R-K-O Keith's will bring in
the Phantom of CrestWood" for
a special opening on the coming
Wednesday, October IL.
This pre-view opening takes on
particular significance in that it
gives Washington theater-goers a
two days advance opportunity to
see THE Phantom of CrestWood,"
in which much interest has been
aroused due to its having been
broadcast over the National Broad
casting Company network, prior to
its national release on October IA.
The radio version of the picture
had a cast of established players
in that field of entertainment.
For the screen version coming to
Keith's Wednesday, Radio Pictures
has assembled what amounts to
an all-star cast. The screen version
players being Ricardo Cortez,
Karen Morley, H. B. Warner,
Robert McWade, Pauline Frede-
rick, Mary Duncan, Richard

Catherine Toomey
In Song Recital

Catherine Toomey, young,
blonde and with a background
of considerable stage experience
though she is but 21 years old,
will make her debut in a formal
song recital at Barker Hall Mon
day. October II, at $50 o'clock
in the evening. She is presented
by Leroy Lewis.
Miss Toomey's program will
feature a new song by Walter
Kramer, editor of Musical Amer
ica. The song is THE King of
China's Daughter" and is really
delightful work with modern style
Of writing and a sophisticated
treatment of the theme. Other
American songs on her program
are Mrs. Beach's "Passers-By,"
Heyman's Dorian Lullaby" and
a mother song by Kramer, THE
Great Awakening" which is quite
familiar here.
The young contralto also will
sing a very old English song,
Polly Willis" by Arne, a group
of lieder that are rarely heard,
songs by Respighi, Rachmaninoff,
TSchaikoWSky and GabriloWitsch,
and two operate arias, Stride la

Two Good Stories

1t would be my advice to those
who are going to see Normal
Shearer's Smiling Through" at
the Palace this week to try and
get in at the start of the feature
for the movie made from the
Jane Cowl play requires a little
concentration on the early scenes
in order to have a complete un-
derstanding of this sentimental
story.
The Night of June 13" at the
Earle is another good movie that
holds one in an interested grip
after the author has moved some
what ponderously in planting the
significance and the motives of
his group of characters.
But once the neighbors of
Laurel Avenue are thoroughly
understood they are as variegated
and colorful a set of characters
as those confronted in Street
Scene" How they all tell lies,
running from plain fibs to whop-
pers constitutes a commentary on
the value of court room testi-
mony and how lightly perjury is
held by the average witness
should it serve his purpose to
distort the truth.
The Washington times., 1932-10-10
They Like Cohan

AS the early returns come it is
apparent that George M. Conan
has registered solidly in his first
movie. The Phantom President"
has been universally acclaimed as
first-class satirical effort by
Hollywood.
If custom is followed Actor
Cohan will be importuned to
make more pictures. He came
away from the coast pretty well
disguSted even though he is said
to have been compensated at the
rate of $4,000 a week for II
weeks. In his first interviews On
his return to Broadway it was
the Cohan opinion that all of
RockefellerS money would not
lure him to face a camera again.
However, good notices work
miracles with actors. Further
more Playwright Cohan has his
own script of Gambling" which
seems to possess all of the neces-
sary elements for good movie
and which Paramount was deeply
interested in at one time. 1t
would not surprise me to read a
Hollywood despatch any day that
George M. Cohan will make an
other feature and that the screen
play will be founded on hiSlast
hit show, .Gambling." &
