The cinema appeals only to the eye.
The result has been the emphasis on
beauty when 1t Is not sensation hat is
relied on as the means Of success. The
young persons who appear in these
spectacles must therefore be decora-
tive In themselves. which Is after all
the chief difficulty In the way OF the
camera star, The young men who take
part In these screen dramas are as a
rule youthful and good looking. Even
the incidental figures in the plays are
apparently selected with some defer
ence to the eye,
So there ought to he on the part Of
the play producers some thought Of
the same kind OF appeal In the acted
plays. But the seasons productions
are unusually contemptuous Of this
element in satisfying an audience.
One OF the plays recently acted Is
peopled with the most unattractive lot
Of human beings that an audience was
ever invited to pay two dollars to con-
template. In another the hero Ia
acted by n man no i-ss than twice the
age this character Is supposed to he.
In another the hero IS young In years.
The character OF. his enemy is also
youthful. But In order that
he may not look younger than the
hero this associate Is also much older
than the requirements OF the piece
obviously demand.
The combined ages Of the two can
not b. less than q century and they

UTILITIES COMMISSION.

Commissioners Alex. p, Ramstedt
and John w. Graham, of the Public
Utilities commission, held hearing In
the county court house room on Thurs
morning. June. 29th. upon the COM
plant of the village Of American Falls,
VS.. American Falls Realty company
and the American Falls Development
company. This action was brought
by the city attorney, Baum, for the
purpose of securing a physical con-
nection between the two water sys-
TENS so that more adequate fire pro-
lection might be afforded. 1t Is con-
tended by the city that the continu-
GUS increase In the cost OF fire insur-
ance in American Falls In the past
has been due largely to the fact that
at times there have been partial fall
ures in the water supply, and that in
case OF failure In the electric power
the company could not pump directly
into its mains as the design of tho
plan contemplates, and that the stand
pipe furnishing water to the residents
of the north side is not of sufficient
capacity, In the judgment of the
board of FIRE underwriters. to give
ample protection against fire.
All OF the parties to the controversy
seemed to be practically agreed as to
the two water companies stated that
connection, and the representatives Of
the two water sompanies stated that
their respective companies will glad
ly stand ready to render any service
within their power when any emer-
gency shall exist to make necessary
the augmentation of either water sup
ply, but they were not agreed rs to
who should pay for the cost of making
the connection.
Frank Moench, village engineer,
testified at the hearing that the most
favorable connection between the two
systems would be from a point noar
the intersection of Chestnut and Camp
bell streets on the south side and q
point near the corner of block 81 on
the north side the cost of which con-
nection would be about four hundred
dollars. The connection Is to be
made with an eight-inch main.
