PLAYS AND PLAYERS At the Shubert Benefit, Raymond Hitchcock rescued Mary Plckford from a very embarrassing predicament. She appeared on the stage before her aud ence and completely forgot her part. She dashed frantically to Hitchcock, •who was the master of ceremonies, anil asked him what to say. He beamed all over and replied, "Tell them about me." The audience roared and Mary regained her iielf-composure enough to continue her part.—Photoplay Magazine. "Free speech, free press and a free stage have always been ideals of the American people," reads a trailer at tached to all Balboa Alms. "Then why not a free screen? Our Constitution's most sacred guarantee is freedom of expression. When censorship of any form of it is legalized here, then will begin the end of our democracy." This statement is intended to present the j whole censorship question. In the same statement It is said that "if censorship (meaning nationally) is established, the spectators will suffer more than the producers." In other words, we suppose, It is the policv of the opponents of censorship to do their best to convince the people that every body, children Included, ought to be al i lowed to see crime, seduction and mur der without the least check being placed ur>on their production. It is a question whether the majority of parents will agree that this is the wisest course. William Courtenay, featured player in "Under Fire," revealed a peculiar \ fact the other day when someone called | his attention to the fact that his unl- I form was one star short of the re- I quired number for a captain in the Eng lish army. Mr. Courtenay then told ! that it is the king's order that no uni -1 form used in s play shall be an exact copy of the original, and that the star | had bpen left off in compliance with ' t this rule. "Tom" Santschi and Baby Jean Fra ser are ~reat friends. The other day the genial Selig star was sitting' in his ear on busy Broadway. Los Angeles, chat ting to an acquaintance standing on the sidewalk. Baby Jean coming down the street saw Mr. Santschi and smiled a friendly greeting, but "Tom" failed to see her. Jean's face clouded, the tears started and dropping her mother's hand she ran to the side of the car and said in heartbroken tones, "Oh. 'Tom,' I don't you speak to me on the street?" It took a big bear hug and kiss to soothe the sensitive child and convince her she had not received the "cut di- I reet." "The Wood Nymph," a production from the Griffith studios which is fea turing Marie Doro, is be ••Ttac Wood ing shown at the Colo i Nymph" nial as the headllner for still Here the first half of the week. Wid. who Is a critic known all over the country, and whose opinion carries considerable weight, says that the production as a whole Is j artistic and unusual, the star beautiful and appealing, the exteriors very ar. tistlc and the photography splendid. I "Miss Doro is a striking figure In her Grecian robes, and Charles West is a handsome enough youth to be easily mistaken for Apollo by a young lady who has been raised along the line of the education used for the character represented by Miss Doro. There is an extremely powerful situation between Miss Doro and Mr. Lucas, and this bit has been handled delicately without losing a bit of the power," says Wld.

The ! sirls look pretty in their several changes of elaborate wardrobe and they offer some of the newest song hits in clever fashion. Dashes of corn ed v sprinkle the playlet and the setting helps out in the picturesqueness of the attraction. An added headllner of his I same offering is a big novelty dramatic play called "Which One Shall I Marry? i The unravelling of the story Is done I in unusual fashion, even if it does tel the rather time-worn theme of the road to happiness through marriage for love, forsaking wealth and all i»»at it j brings.

It is estimated 1 that over 3,000 people saw the two pre sentations yesterday. The perform ances are scheduled to begin promptlj 1 at Z in the afternoons and at 8 In trw ' evenings. An augmented orchestra ol : twenty-five pieces provides the music ! for the pictures. : Loral politics occupy a prominenl : place In the story of "The Reform Can ! didate," a Paramount ValpHka Surratt picture, featuring Tomorrow MaclynArbuc.kle.bui n« lleaent it is the heart inter " est. the sacrifice thai ; Art Hoke Is glad to make for the wo man he loves, that gives the drama its | grip on the emotions of a body of spec ' 1 mtors. , , 1 ! To-morrow and Thursday alesks I 1 Surratt will be seen in the Jesse L i Lasky photodramatlc production oi ; : Marlon Fairfax's thrilling drama, "Th< i | Immigrant." 1 The story deals with the adventure! ! ; of a Polish girl who emigrates to thll > country. She is a girl of parts and o !1 ambition and rises above tlic squaloi and pettiness of the environment Into , • wjilch she had been born. ' One of the big thrilling scenes of ; [ the play Is the blowing up of a great | i dam. holding back an immense volume I j of water and the destruction of a large j i 1 house by the released torrent.

ANOTHER CUT IN WATER MINIMUM ] [Continued I'rom First I*agc.] J I —— I < I etc., amounting to 1113,362.77 had < been paid, the net balance was $63.- i 309.20. In 1914 the net earnings to- ; I taled $80,915.93, a difference Mr. \ i I Bowman points out, attributable to \ ] I the fact that a dollar reduction In do- ; ] ' mestic rates had been made and that \ , [ the collections were for a 9-month in- ] ' stead of a 12-month year. The com- c missioner also calls attention to the | fact that" during the latter part of De- j cember, 1915, Council authorizing the i s liquidation of the 1903 water bonds;; ' amounting to $30,000, from the year's ; ; | earnings. In September, 1915, $60,000 was in-, ] f vested from the cash on hand and j i r turned in bonds. The interest from i ; 1 t these bonds Commissioner Bowman j | pointed out will appear in the 1916 : i report. t Tlie Change of Rate * The cash balance in the general! £ ' fund January 1* 1916, was $73,310.63.1 t In recommending the change in the | r | water rates Mr. Bowman suggests that; - not only the minimum charge for do-' - I mestic consumption be reduced to $4, • i but that the rate per hundred cubic I 1 j feet be lowered to eight cents. } "This," explained Mr. Bowman, 1 i "will permit the consumer to use the , i same amount of water for $4 which he formerly received for $5, namely,' 15,000 cubic feet. This reduction in | rlthe rates from 10 cents to 8 cents per 1 to all consumers using more than. J 1 5,000 cubic feet per year. Should Bencllt Taxpayers "These reductions," continues the t report, "will, of course, materially re r ,duce the revenues of the water depart- i i ment. which I believe to be justifiable 1 as there will be sufficient revenue left, to take carc of all operating as well, as all extraordinary expenses and be . sides leave a large cash balance at j ; ; the end of the year. In my judgement r|it is not right'to take from the tas- j ■ j payers water rent gre&tly in excess of 1 I the needs of the department just for j J the purpose of hoarding it up. It is j j for these reasons I have made the i a i above recommendations." s That the water department will be ! i in shape to pay off the balance of its; | j indebtedness before the end of the j ' iyear was referred to by Mr. Bowman! J 1 as follows: ' : "The department will have approxi ' : mately only SB,OOO to pay from the general revenues of the year 1916 to wipe out its total indebtedness, plus interest, sinking fund and State tax i appropriations. operating expenses, ■ i etc." All told this outlay will amount, •'to $122,179.93, which must come from i ; the year's revenues. Handsome Profit at That j "Deducting all this, however." con tinues Mr. Bowman," from the total I revenues for 1916, there will be at] I handsome profit in the coffers of the j | ■| department." , j. • Among the big improvements in the j 1 [ department accomplished during the!; . year as referred to In the report were ■ r the construction of the plaza in the! ■ f rear of.the pumping station at a cost: • of $3,730.98; lowering the big mains , ' under Paxton creek, for which $3,700 ' was appropriated; closing contracts : for river coal for pumping station and lllter plant "at the lowest price at which this coal has ever been bought." Water Cost $5.27 to Pump Just $1,302.70 was saved in coal r bills by the installation of new type -! of grates. The total amount of water • j pumped was 2.695.329,000 gallons, a ' I daily average consumption of 7,400.- J 661 gallons.
