Pola Negri Stages Comeback in ‘Men;’ Two Racing Films Hand Out Laughs

I*l Meaning that weak and I artificial vehicles will cause a popular player on the screen to slip from popular favor. / Pola Negri has ■tain kind or typa of movie. It must character. She i I does not register in A m e r i can ' drawing r o o iu pleasant thing to record at this ci--. minute her new Paramount movPOLA NEGRI ie, “Men,” now on view at the Ohio. There is a lot of “fire'' in this woman. She can “eat up” on a dramatic scene. She must have a wild character to get the most out of it. In “Men” she is the plaything of idle but rich men in the night life of Paris. A sort of "Kiki.” She must have heavy scenery, have a buckgrounJ and hundreds of people in the cast. These she lias in “Men.” It.is a lavish affair and must have cost several fortunes to produce. Her gowns are gorgeous and when she is called upon to be emotional, she registers with her old-time ability. Dimitri Buchovvetzki is the director and he knows how to handle mobs and a lot of scenery, although the story is rather drawn out at times. The director has peopled the cast with some rare types. You will find present the following who know how and when fb act. Robert Frazer, Robert Edeson and Joseph Sickard. The bill includes one of Will Rogers’ happy comedies. This comedy attempt is called ”High-Brow Stuff,” which is really a satire on the Little Theater movement. 1 found it jolly fun. Lester Huff, oraanist, has caught j the spirit of the bill and has reflet ted it in a merry organ rfbmber called “Men.” Johnny Jackson and his j Eight Southern Serenaders are present to jazz up the ozone A real bunch of players. They received an ovation. At the Ohio all week. -I- -I- -IMONTY BANKS (.OKS IN FOR A LENGTHY COMEDY Mont.’.- Banks has turned full length comedian.

Monty HELEN pilots a racing lEROL SON car on and off the regular | course and at one time stages a ! thrill by “jumping" over a broken | bridge whije riding in the car.

It is the real article in thrills. On the bill ie another comedy, “Dizzy Daisy," with Louise Fazenda. In this movie Louise introduces the “flying stocking.” Here is anew bit of fun well done. One of these grand and glorious days somebody is going to find a real comedy vehicle for this Fazenda person and the result is going to Ik* a riot, as this woman knows how to “sell” her fun. . Bakaleinikoff is directing the orchestra In an overture rmide up of the hits from “Sweethearts,” by Victor Herbert.

This happens in “Sporting Youth" at the Apollo this week. Denny has a real future in the movies, as he appeals to men as well as-the women. When it comes to staging a scrap this boy is there. In “Sporting Youth,” the Apollo this week has an appropriate I ‘Speedway Week” attraction. Denny is cast as a chauffeur of a wealthy i _ man. Denny is v V mistaken for a . crack auto racer • na,lle HI V, Woods and when attempts t" Vt jaV up to the title he V gets into a bunch of trouble. Like ■all movies of its ’JB character the big ' JMILI scene is an auto fl race scene. This & Sad race is a wee bit i ,n '" v legit ima; < than the one iitmr. oil at the Circle. Deniiy goes in for legitimate thrills REGINALD and not so much DENNY for comedy. It is a corking good race scene from a standpoint of thrills. Thei’e are some delicious comedy moments in the race scene. Another choice bit of fun 1* when a society matron enjoys a bit of rough riding in her automobile. Os

course their is a villain in this race movie, but he is not such a bad fellow after all. This new Denny vehicle reminds one of the auto movies of the late Wallace Reid. Laura La F’ante makes a cute little heroine for Denny. Rather think you will like Denny fn this sort of a picture.

The Rendering of Equal Justice the Result of Utility Service Rate Making

Some years ago there was no regulation by the state of either the service of the Public Utilities or the prices which were charged for such service. Uusually these were controlled by contracts made with the local authorities. The utilities were confined in their operations to the localities in which they operated. Each Street Car Line was operated in a single city. The Electric Light Plant's service was limited to but one town. The Telephone Company’s service was local. So was that of the Gas Company. Water Service was generally municipal. A Private Water Company was an exception. Both usually limited their service to the single city. Then the Street Car Line grew into the suburbs, into other municipalities. Then came the Interurban Railway, operating in many cities and towns. Long-distance phone Lines connected the cities, making anew usefulness for the Local Telephone Systems, and creating anew business. The Electric Light and Power Companies first- overran the limits of the Cities and Villages, and as the art. grew, one Electric Light and Power Company served many Cities and Villages. The results were that there was a variety of charges that could not be controlled by the local authorities. Wherefore the States took up the duty of regulating the Utilities. There are two principles which underlie State regulation. The First of these is that Every User of a Public Utility Service Shall Pay What the Service is Worth. That means that he shall pay his share of the Cost of Furnishing the Service, and of providing an Income on the fair value of the property Necessary to Furnish it. The Second Principle is that- Every User of a Public Utility Service Shall not be Required to Pay Any more for the Service than is necessary to provide it and return a Reasonable Income on the value of the property used to produce the service. Incidentally, State Regulation also involves the right of the State to see that the Service is kept up to Standard. Put into Concrete form, a Gas Company, a Telephone Company, a Street Railway Company, a Water Company or an Electric Company may require the use of property worth a Pdillion Dollars, in its plant, or of Several Millions. The’principle underlying State Regulation is that the Customers of each class of these Companies must pay for their respective services, in the aggregate, enough money to pay a reasonable income on the value of the property used, and enough more to pay for the operation of providing the service. That is all that there is to any kind of Public Sendee Rate-Making in this State. To determine what the Income shall be the State first determines what the value of the property really is. It does this by using the Most Experienced Judgment Available, and giving consideration to all the factors entering into the problem. Having reached the Present fair Value of the Properties, the State says that a Reasonable Return in Income may be earned from the People for whose service they were constructed. Then the State goes into the Operating Costs, the Amounts of Money Which are Really Necessary to Render the Service. In this defcerniiinaiion are taken account, the Cost of Supplies, the Cost of Labor, the Amount Necessary to be spent to Maintain the Plant, Keep it in Repair, Replace Destroyed Parts and the like of all that. % Having Arrived at these Figures, the State

POLICE BLAME INTOXICATION FOR AUTO ACCIDENTS Several Drivers Face Drunk Charges as Results of Week-End Crashes, Intoxicated automobile drivers were responsible for majority of accidents during the week-end, police said today. Fred Albers, 1939 Ashland Ave., is held after failure to report his automobile turned over at Keystone Ave. and Fall Creek early Sunday. Albers, slightly injured, was found by the police at the city hospital where he had been taken by passing mofbrists. Robert Meredith, 316 Agnes St., faces charges in police court today, after the car he was driving collided with a machine owned by J. M. Kirk, of 1701 Montcalm St., Saturday. Kirk’s ma-

proceeds to distribute the \otal amount necessary t-o operate these Properties ar.d to pay a Reasonable Return upon the value of the Properties over the total service rendered by them to the Public, in the proportion which will distribute the cost, in the fairest way, over all the customers. This process is called rate-making. This distribution is made over all the customers on the basis of the amount of use which each of them makes of the service. The Telephone User is charged, in the last resolution, for the number of times that he Uses his telephone. The Street Car Fatron pays so much every time he rides. The Water User pays according to the Quantity of Water w’hich he uses, either roughly averaged or correctly measured by a meter. The Gas User pays so much per Thousand Cubic Feet of Gas Consumed, again measured accurately through a meter. The Electric Power User pays so much per Kilowatt Hour, which is the Measure of Electricity, this, too. accurately measured by an electric meter. The Demand which these Users of Public Utility Service make upon their respective services is by no means Uniform. They vary so much as to be marked by many different characteristics. For instance, some people use their Telephones many more times in the day than the average use. Examples of these differences are apparent in the use given telephones in Places of Business as compared with Residences. Hence there is a classification into the Business Rates and Residence Rates. For instance again, some people make demands for Street Railway Service involving the use of two street- car routes to complete their trips, in which case a Transfer Charge is made in addition to the Regular Single Fare; or they want to ride during the hours of the night time, for which they are charged the “Owl Car” Rate, which is usually double the Regular Fare. Some people, again, use Two Dollars’ Worth of Gas a month, for domestic cooking and heating; and some Industries use Thousands of Feet of Gas a Day for Heat-Treating Purposes. One customer costs as much as the other for Bookkeeping, Collection, Supervision and the like, besides which the Big User is keeping the Plant going during the hours when Domestic Cooking is not going on. So a lesser rate is made for the Quantity U >er of Gas. In the Use of Electricity there is a wide range of difference in use. Some people use Much; some other, Little. Some use a Continuous Quantity; some other a Quantity which Varies in Amount, by Hours, Days, Weeks or Seasons. Some limit their uses to hours when most other people are not demanding service, while others ask most service when everybody else is doing the same thing. Some use with uniform regularity, while others ask Service only once in a while, and with no notice. These conditions of the Public Utility Service make it impotsbile that the same rates shall be applied to all users and all quantities of service used. They lead to Classification of the Kinds of Service Rendered, and the Making of Rates which Take into Account these Various Kinds of Demands made upon the Utilities. Some of these Demands cost the Utilities more to Satisfy than do others, and it would not be fair to charge the customer using the more Cheaply Rendered Service part of the cost of Supplying the Customer who demands the Service Produced at the Highest Cost. These are all taken into account by the State in Making Rates for Public Utility service.
