Washington, March 24-(UP)- Banks of the nation have recovered much of their former strength since the holiday. using only a fraction of the $2,000,0O0,0O0O au- thorized under the emergency banking bill, the weekly federal re- serve statement and the daily statement of the United States treasury showed to-day.
 Not only was $575,0O0,000 in gold reserves lost immediately prior to the banking holiday recovered but federal reserve banks have found currency demands so light they
 were able to retire. $376,360,000 of their own notes this week. At the same time they were not forced 10 resort to issuance of new money authorized under the banking bill. The major point of the banking hill. designed to bolster banks through supply of additional cash. was the proposed issuance Of $2,- GOO. 900, 900 of new money already in circulation. These notes were to be secured by either government securities or sound business paper. Ranking conditions have inn .nroyed so rapidly. however, that most of these new bills lay unused
 either in the vaults of the federal reserve banks or at the bureau of engraving and printing where they are being made. The fact that use of this new money has not become necessary to a large extent is con sidered by governmental authori- lies as one of the strongest indi- cations of restoration of normal banking activity.
 Only s2O,1OO,O0O of the new cur
 rency has actually been placed Tn the hands of federal reserve banks. of this amount only s9.269,ooO has found it's way into the hands of the nnblic in the federal reserve dis tricts of New York, Cleveland St Louis and Boston.

Its Tough to Be Famous Graphic Film at Capitol
 Shows Sub" Disaster

The centuries old custom of the sea which dictates that a comman- der must stand by sinking ship until all hands are off is graphi- eally displayed in Its Tough To Be Famous" the First National picture starring Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., now at the Capitol theatre.
 Doug. Jr. appears in the role of commander of a submarine which has been sunk by steamship. With death rapidly closing on the com- mander and his crew, he offers the men gamble for safety by shoot- ! ing them to the surface of the sea via the torpedo tubes. They accept and all are saved by rescue ships which have arrived in response to 1 the steamships distress signals
 Only Fairbanks, Jr. and his sec ond in command are left in the submarine David Landau, who ap- peared with Fairbanks in Union Depot" refuses to leave the under sea boat, offering to remain and release the younger man, even though the code of the sea dictates that he remain until the last man is saved, after which there would be no one to operate the tube for his own release. Landau offers to sacrifice himself nd Fairbanks agrees, to all intents and purpos- es. What happens thereafter con- stitutes one of the most unusual scenes recorded by motion pie ture camera and yet permits Doug. Jr. to abide by sailors ethics.

They're still There

The phenomenon scarcely can be held to denote a conslderaote change in the personnel of Vhe stellar ranks. Many whose absence was noted are still in Hollywood, still active in pictures, certainly still able to meet the reduced fees for first night tickets.
 Rather, it may indicate a change in star psychology, a growing away from the period which found de- light in the parading of ermines and sables and jewels, in the hom- age and cheers of a crowd with nothing better to do than render homage and cheers to movie stars.
 Perhaps those stars who always groaned at the thought of paying titled prices for the privilege of fighting crowds and being stared at who always threatened to rebel and stay at home, are casting aside old fears and actually staying at home.
