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.
Melody is the charm of the Majes
tic'® new bill. It is supplied chiefly by
the "Maryland Mel-
Melody and ody Ms.lds. ' an ag-
Mtrtli: "Maryland gregation of pretty
Melody Maids" . girls and clever
youths, who offer
1 a eatchv musical comedy skit. 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.

Before noon yesterday the street ir

ANOTHER CUT IN

[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. The total cost per mil
* | lion gallons pumped was $5.27.
