HOLLYWOOD, Dec. IL.


II films for 19a7-1930,
at an estimated budget
Of $10,000,O0O dollars, was
announced by Samuel Gold
wyn before assembled mem.
bers of his staff yesterday.
The new schedule calls for
eight films to be released
through United Artists dur.
ing the year instead of the
usual program of four.
Quality Stressed
In making this announce
ment, confirming earlier re-.
ports of expansion of the
Goldwyn program, the pro-
ducer lashed out against
"factory-made" screen prod
ucts and the flood of So
called Glass B films resulting
from the double-bill policy
in numerous theaterS
throughout the country.
Every one of his eight films,
he declared, would be q
major product, with no con-
cessions in the direction of
quantity as opposed to
quality.
Not one Of the eight films
will go below the 100000
mark, he stated, with the
highest figure reached in the
100000 expenditure on
the much-heralded "Goldwyn
Follies."
"The industry" said Mr..
Goldwyn, "is in danger Of
losing prestige because of the
increase in factory-made pic
lures to meet the double
bill market.
"Product has dropped
down generally in recent
times, and but for the pres
ent freedom Of money, box
offices throughout the coun.
try would be suffering"
AU Well Starred
Mr.. Goldwyn paid tribute
to the late Irving Thalberg,
declaring that his death had
removed a producer identi-
fled with box-office prest.
ige, and that it was neces-
sary for other producers,
capable because of their re-
sources and talent, to fill
the breach by increasing
their output of the better
type films, so as to stem the
flood of mediocre product.
The eight films announced
by Mr.. Goldwyn for 1898
are:
A remake of "Stella Dal.
las," which Sarah Y. Mason
and Victor Herman are now
scripting, to start off the
program early in February.
The screen adaptation Of
Sidney Kingsley's Dead
End" now being prepared
by Tess Slesinger.
Hurricane" by Charles
Nordhoff and James Normal
Hall, authors of "Mutiny
On the Bounty This will
be directed by John Ford
from the screen play by
Oliver H. P. Garret. The
location unit is already at
work in the South Seas,
locale of the story.
Due Nest Year
"The Adventures of Marco
Polo," which Mr.. GOldwyn
is producing in conjunction
with Douglas Fairbanks,
who authored the original
screen story. Gary Cooper
will play the title role.
"Goldwyn Follies," a Law.
ish musical based on a story
by Harry Selby, pseudonym
for a prominent New York
newSpaperman.

previously announced. Gary

: Representative Mitchell, Democrat,
OF Illinois. yesterday appointed six
colored youths as candidates for West
Point and Annapolis, recalling to ofi-
GERS that only three members OF that
race ever have graduated from either
of the service academies.
The Chicago colored Representative
designated five white boys at the same
time as candidates or alternates.
Records of both institutions show
that 10 colored youths in all have
passed entrance examinations and
matriculated since the institutions
we're eStabliShed-l6 at West Point
and 3 at Annapolis.
OF these, only three ever were grad
uated from West Point and all three
aspirants to naval commissions at
Annapolis failed before graduation.
One colored student now is at West
Point, however, and is virtually cer-
tain to be graduated this year. He
stands high in his class and is re-
ported here to be popular with the
Corps of Cadets
He is Benjamin o. Davis, jr., son
of Col Benjamin o. Davis, only COL

If you cannot afford to buy equip
ment which does cooling and de-
humidifying, all is not lost. For there
are some benefits to be had from
merely circulating and cleaning the
air. Most effective is the attic fan
which operates only at night to draw
out the days hot air and suck in the
cool night air. You are expected to
keep your doors and windows closed
during the day, to preserve this night
coolth. This is the cheapest to in
stall and operate.
The same effect can be produced by
operating the blower on a hot-air fur
incorporating there is a source Of
outside fresh air. Or you can also cir
culate air by room unit which fits
into window and plugs into an cleo
trio outlet. You feel cooler when air
is circulating, even though the ther-
mometer stays at the same level. These
latter methods are actually vastly i'm
proved fan systems, doing both jobs
Of air circulating and air cleaning.
All of this is Summer Conditioning
which is quite another thing from
Winter conditioning. For the main
job Of Winter conditioning is to heat
and humidify-just the reverse of
Summer air conditioning - though
some systems perform all-year-'round
jobs The average family who shops
for conditioning equipment should be
armed with this basic knowledge about
Summer and Winter conditioning.
If you are planning to install year.
round conditioning, you should go to
ventilating engineer, for such a sys-
TEN must be tailor made" for your
house. This can be done with old
houses as well as new ones, and is a
major structural job in either case
1t can be added to any existing type of
heating plant. You should investi-
gate the cost Of operating your con-
templated system as carefully as you
watch the first costs" For complete
conditioning Is expensive to pro-
duce-even when the equipment is
standing ready.
If you want to buy a Winter air
conditioning system, go to your heat
ing contractor. For that is a matter
of adding humidifying, cleaning and
circulating to the already common
heating function. ANY existing heat
ing system can be so moderni1ed.
If you want to buy room condition
ers for either Summer or Winter you
can find a variety of reliable makes

TREND REVEALED
!: !. TO BIGGER HOMES
Survey in Ashton Heights
70 Shows Brick Is Favored
.s.s
by Builders.

New homes built recently in the ASH
ton Heights district of Clarendon re-
veal trend directly opposite the pre-
Failing tendency toward smaller homes
and fewer rooms, an intensive survey
of the district by the fact-finding bn-
reau recently organized by Northern
Virginia realtors and builders has dis
closed. The survey is the first Of a
series to be made of every section Of
Northern Virginia in which new home
construction is an important factor.
For comparison of home construction
activity, two periods we're selected
one the IL months from July /, 1885,
to this date, the other the two-year
period preceding July l, 1885. Some
significant trends were brought to light.
In the last II months 80 new homes
were built by Is different builders in
the Ashton Heights section, district
of approximately l square mile, laying
directly south of the Clarendon busi-
ness area, within the 4-mile radius
from the White House. In the two
years preceding that period careful
estimates place the volume of new con-
struction at about 10 homes, or about
three per month, as compared with
more than six per month in the last
IL months.
The comparative analysis Of the two
periods discloses that the trend in the
section is markedly toward the brick
home, 95 per cent of the residences
built in the last II months being Of
brick, in comparison with so per cent
for the two years preceding. In the
last II months siX-room and larger
homes have predominated, so per cent
being of this relative size, whereas
only 40 per cent of the homes built
In the two years preceding July l, 1888,
were of six or more rooms.
The Ashton Heights section was Sc
lected for the first survey because 1t
has recently been the scene of marked
activity in new home construction by
a large number of builders. There
are several complete blocks of new
homes, all built within the last three
years. Among the builders operating
IN the section are Forrest T. Athey
IT. j. Brumback William Donneny,
John Douglas, Robert Dye, Homecraft,
Inc; z. Ray Keene, j. T. Myers, George
D. Kicker, George H. Rucker Co., P.
w. Sharpe Co, r. r. Warren and F.
z. Westenberger.
In making the comparative survey
homes were grouped in two periods, ac-
cording to the time work was begun.
The figures for the last IL months,
therefore, include number Of houses
now being completed. With the ex-
ception of four units of the small
apartment house type, all homes were
one-family detached structures.
