There are four acts, all of which take place in the Blue Grass country. The com edy was written by Karl Derr Blggers and Mr. Hodge, It was staged under the personal direction of Mr. Hodge. When the young doctor arrives to take charge of the institution the patients plan to leave on the first train in the evening. The ' doctor, however, has a prearranged plan to keep them at the place for at least a month, so he asks them to pose in the garden with hoes and rakes while he takes their pictures for a leading society journal. Through another clever ruse he gets them to cultivate part of the ground, and by the time the train leaves for the city, the pa tients are enjoying their first' real sleep since they arrived at the sana torium. ' The comedy is typically American. Mr. Hodge brings an excellent cast, including: Miss Clara Moores, Adelyn Wesley. Carson Davenport, George Lund, Kdlth Shayne, Charles E.

Two married couples are mixed up on their honeymoon, being separated as they are ready to embark on a Hudson river boat. Just how the complica tions of the newlyweds get straight ened out furnishes the comedy. Two other acts are included on the bill. They are Lonnie Nace, in up-to-the minute songs, and the Ladellas, in a routine of acrobatic feats. Monday and Tuesday the Colonial Theater presents Earl Williams in "The Man Who Wouldn't At the Tell." It doesn't seem such Colonial a peculiar thing for a man not to tell things—now if it was a woman—well, that's something else, yet again Earl Williams lias the role of a British secret service man in this country at the beginning of the entrance octhe United States into the world war. His mission makes it impossible for him to explain to the girl he loves, the apparent Inaction that makes him appear a slacker. How things take a sudden turn and matters are cleared up for the man and the girl forms a most interesting and exciting story. Grace Darmond is the girl in the case. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday Rex Beach pre sents "Too Fat to 'Fight." The beautiful and talented Elsie Ferguson is being presented In her latest photoplay, "Heart of At the the Wilds," at the Regent Ilegent Theater to-morrow and Wednesday. Miss Fer guson, with her usual charm and talent, interprets exquisitely the role of "Jen Galbraith," a saloonkeeper's daughter of the Canadian-American border. She plays the leading part In this dramatization of Sir Gilbert Parker's thrilling and very famous volume, "Pierre and His People." The book was dramatized by Edgar Sel wyn, the famous playwright. It is an absorbing story played with skill and power by a fofemost American actress. Scheduled for the last three days of the week Is the colossal Griffith superfeature, "The Greatest Thing In Life." Scenes of actual fighting along the Marne, marvellous photo graphic effects evolved by a wounded French soldier, and scores of stu pendous features are presented In this master-picture from the hand of the man who evolved "The Birth of a Nation" and its following produc tions. Bessie Barrlscale, in "Maid o' the Storm," due at the Victoria to-day as the opening picture of a At the week of exceptionally fine Victoria films, is declared to have one of the strongest and most appealing rolls of her screen career. A strong love theme, with out any touches of maudlin senti mentality, forms the basis of a grip ping film. To-morrow Theda Bara has been secured for a- one-day performance of the always heart-touching and ap pealing "Two Orphans," which has long held the affections of the theater goers. It gives Miss Bara an excep tional chance to displlay her his trionic talents and should prove a winner. Wednesday and Thursday William Farnum is booked in "The Soldier's Oath," an exceptionally strong Aim. which is, beyond doubt, one of Far num's best plays. Houdini, in "The Master Mystery," on Friday and Sat urday, with pretty Peggy Hyland, in "Caught in the Act." ends this at tractive week's program.

New schedules of rates for telephone toll calls (to.points outside the local service area) under which all toll calls throughout the United States are placed on a uniform basis, become effective 12.01 a. m., January 21, 1919. Under these new schedules the "station to station" rate is the base rate upon which all rates for the various classes of service offered, are computed. This rate is determined by the air line distance between toll points and is computed, for the initial period, on the basis of 5c for each 6 miles up to 24 miles and 5c for each 8 miles beyond that dis tance. For toll calls where the calling party does not specify a particular person to be reached at the called telephone, "station to station" rates are charged. For toll calls where the calling party does specify a particular person to be reached at the called telephone and the connection is established and conversation held with that person, "person to person" rates are charged. As this service requires a greater amount of operating effort, the rate for such calls is about one-fourth greater than the "station to station" rate. The minimum "person to person" rate is 20c. Toll calls involving an appointment to talk at a specified time, or involving the use of messenger service to secure attendance of a designated person at a public telephone at a distant point may be made at rates usually about one-half greater than the "station to station" rate, plus the cost of messenger service. The minimum rate for such calls is 25c. For all toll calls other than those made on the "station to station" basis, where connec tion is established but the conversation is not held because the calling or called party is not present or will not talk, a "report charge" is made, equivalent to about one-fourth of the "station to station" rate. The minimum "report charge" is 10c; maximum $2.00. No "report charge" is made if the call is completed before midnight of the day it is placed. i Night rates, applying only to calls made on a "station to station" basis, are quoted between 8.30 p. m. and 4.30 a. m. The rate between 8.30 p. m. and 12 midnight is about one-half the "station to station" day rate, and between 12 midnight and 4.30 a. m. about one-fourth the "station to station" day rate. The minimum night rate is 25c. "Station to station" calls must be made as far as possible by giving the telephone num ber of the called telephone. When the number is not known and telephone directory information is not available the number should be obtained from "Information," or ff the called telephone is at a distant point, the name and address of the called subscriber should be given to the Toll Operator, stating that it is a "station to station" call. The "station to station" rates are substantially lower than the "person to person" rates. In order that patrons may effect the greatest economy in their charges for toll service, and also maximum speed of connections, they are urged to study their toll service re quirements and to make the widest possible use of "station to station" calls.
