four acts, all of which take place in
the Blue Grass country. The com
edy was written by Karl Derr Blggers

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

American.

prices for this show. The music of
"Very Good Eddie" is lively and
tuneful, and there is a story that is
replete with funny situations. 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,

Scheduled for the last three days

along the Marne, marvellous photo

New Telephone Toll Rates
Effective January 21, 1919
(Announced December 13, 1918, by Postmaster General, Washington, D. C.)
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.
