Albert S. Janin, poor cabinet maker

THE VOICE AND THE STAGE.
Being a Good Elocutionist Does Not

WdNc a 0OOO ACtOFs
OF all the things to eschew, elocu-

know nothing of the rules of elocution
as taught in any school of which have

first glance whether an actor is q stu
dent of EXECUTION. No good elocutionist
was ever good actor. That is, no good
reciter-and elocution schools produce
only reciters-is ever good actor.
Reciting and acting are two entirely
different arts The reciter is never
natural. never can be. Awhile ago one
OF the most distinguished professors of
elocution In America-he had the chair
OF elocution at one of our biggest uni
verSities-came to be an actor. Ii was
thought that he would be something
wonderful because of his KNOWLEDGE
and gift of elocution. He went back
to teaching. He could do that better
than most but his acting was bad. All

states have two cent passenger rate
and whatever loss is incurred is recOv-
cred through freight revenue. The JUS
tice OF such procedure was recently
passed upon by the Supreme Court
Of West Virginia and the decision is
so far-reaching that we have asked
l.. E. Johnson, president of the Nor
folk and Western Railway whose road
contested the case to briefly review
the suit. Mr.. Johnson said in part:
Some ten years ago, passenger
fares were fixed by the legislatures
of a large number of states at two
cents a mile. AS a basis for such
economic legislation, no examination
was made of the cost of doing the
business so regulated, nor was any
attention given to the fact whether
such a rate would yield to the rail-
way companies an adequate or any
net return upon the capital invested
in conducting this class of business.
"Such a law was passed in West
Virginia In 1907. The Norfolk and
Western Railway Company put the
rate into effect and maintained it for
two years. Its accounting during
these two years showed that two
cents mile per passenger barely
paid the out-of-pocket cost and moth
ing was left to pay any return on
capital invested. 1t sought relief from
the courts. Expert accountants for

On Two-Cent Passenger Rates

both the State and the Railway Com
pany testified that the claims Of the
railroad were sustained by the facts.
Two cents did not pay the cost of
carrying passenger mile. The
State, however, contended that the
railroad was earning enough surplus
on its state freight business to give
fair return upon the capital used in
its passenger as well as its freight
business. For the purposes of the
case, the railroad did not deny this,
but held to its contention that the
State could not segregate its pas
senser business for rate fixing with
out allowing a rate that would be
sufficient to pay the cost of doing
business and enough to give some
return upon the capital invested in
doing the business regulated. This
was the issue presented to the SUI
preme Court. It's decision responds
to the judgment of the fair-minded
sentiment of the country. The Su-
preme Court says that, even though
a railroad earns a surplus on a par
ticular commodity by charging rea-
sonable rates, that affords no reason
for compelling it to haul another's
person or property for less than cost.
The surplus from a reasonable rate
properly belongs to the railway COM
pany. If the surplus is earned from
an unreasonable rate then that rate
should be reduced. The State may
not even up by requiring the railroad
to carry other traffic for nothing or
for less than cost.
The decision is a wholesome one
and demonstrates that the ordinary
rules of fair dealing apply to railway
companies. The fact that one makes
a surplus on his wheat crop would
never be urged as reason for COM
polling him to sell his cotton at less
than cost 1t would not satisfy the
man who wanted bread to be told
that its high price enabled the cotton
manufacturer to get his raw product
for less than cost. In this case the
court reaffirmed the homely maxim
that each tub must stand upon its
own bottom"

On Financing Railroads

the Legislators and the Commits
sioners.
Managing railroad is quite differ
ent from managing government
where the money is raised by taxa
ton. When the expenditures, for
good reasons or otherwise, increase,
taxes can be equally increased. The
railroads, while servants of the pub
lie, cannot raise money with such
ease and facility. The railroads must
keep their expenditures within their
incomes because while they have
some control over their expenditures
they have almost no control over their
incomes, their rates being fixed by
public authorities.
There is not a railway manager IN
the country today who is not fearful
that under the press of increasing de-
mands the transportation systems of
the country will. In few years. break
down. unless the railroads are allowed
to earn larger funds wherewith to
build 1t up. There are vast sections
of the country, especially in the West.
where more railroads are needed and
they cannot be built unless the rail-
ways raise new capital.
People invest money in order to
make money, and they are skeptical
as to whether they can make money
by investing in concerns that are dealt
with stringently and unfairly. Rail-
road securities must be made more
attractive 20 invite investments, and
in order that they may be made more
attractive. the roads must be allowed
earnings that viii enable them to
meet the increased capital charges"

Through the Press Service of Agri-
culture and Commerce, the master
minds of this nation will be invited
to the public forum and asked to de-
liver a message to civilization. Men
who achieve seldom talk, and men
who talk seldom achieve. There is
no such thing as a noisy thinker, and
brevity is always a close companion
to truth.
It will be a great privilege to stand
by the side of men who can roll IN
place the cornerstone of industry; TO
associate with men who can look
at the world and see to the bottom
of it: to commune with men who can
hear the roar of civilization a few
centuries away.
Too often we listen to the rabble
element Of our day that cries out
against every man who achieves.
"Crucify him." Mankind never has
and probably never will produce a
generation that appreciates the genius
of it's day. There never will be a
crown without cross, progress with
out sacrifice or an achievement with
out a challenge.
This is an age Of service, and that
man is greatesttwho serves the larg-
est number. The present generation
has done more to improve the con-
dition of mankind than any civiliza-
ton since human motives began their
upward flight. The Greeks gave human
life inspiration, but while her orators
were speaking with the tongues OF
angels, her farmers were blowing
with forked sticks; while her phil
osophers were emancipating human
thought from bondage. her traffic

WONDERFUL SCENIC EFFECTS
IN ION TRIAL" MAKE
AUDIENCE GASP.

wonder just how many theatre
goers have stopped TO consider in
what way the wonderful new Cohan
and Harris drama, ION Trial." is
different from anything else they
have ever seen and What it is that
makes this difference possible? 1t
doesn't take any of the jammed au-
diences more than half hour to
realize that it is different, and that
the idea of playing the entire play in
a courtroom with sudden shifts to
the actual scenes of which the wit
nesses begin to testify is the only
brand-new big idea in theatricals in
recent years.
But how is it done? How is it
possible for the widow of the MUIR
dered man to take the stand and begin
testifying about events in her home
just preceding the murder, and then
have the stage go dark on the court
room and in half minute have the
lights go up on the brilliant scene of
the dead mans home SO that the
whole tragedy is enacted before your
eyes?
1t is possible because of a mighty
simple little idea, which like all good
ideas, is monumental because of its
simplicity. Imagine all the charac-
tiers dressed in mourning in the court
room, and a half minute later seeing
them all dressed in home attire in
the home.
Audiences have wondered vaguely
how it was possible, and here is the
secret. No, it isn't revolving stage,
because revolving stages would re-
quire a vast amount of room for a
small scenic set. There are actually
two stages used in presenting son
Trial" Ever dream of that? If you
could be present al rehearsal when
they don't put out the lights this is
what you would see:
You will find the court scene all set
and the actors on it going through
their lines. When it came to the
point for the dark change, you would
see the entire stage swung back to
the left on pivot that holds it fast
to the front left-hand side of the
stage.
And, while this scene was being
swung back to the left, other stage
hands would be swinging into posi-
ton second stage, which is held by
pivot to the right hand front end of
the stage. Both stages are on rollers
and lit nicely into the wings of the
stage, and they are pivoted so that
under no circumstances could they in
the dark swing into the wrong posi-
ton.
Remarkable as this mechanism is,
there is to be considered the costume
changing of the actors, who in one in
slant are dressed one way, and then
another.
While one sage is being swung
back dressers rush to the actors and
start changing their specially design
ed clothing, and those who must be
in the close of one of the courtroom
scenes and also in the opening OF one
of the tout back scenes are dressed
as they rush from the receding stage
TO the oncoming one.
These are some of the never before
eQualled tricks that go to make ION
Trial take rank among The most re-
markable plays in all the history of
the drama of this or any other country.
To appreciate it, you must see it. and
II you see it you will never stop talk
ing about it.
