Those who like sensations to sea-
son their photoplaying will find de-
light in ''Mutiny," the Bluebrd photo
play announced for presentation at the
Bluebird theater for the last time to-
day, with Myrtle Gonzalez. Val Paul
and George Hernandez playing the
leading roles, Some of the most ex-
citing episodes include n vigorous stand
up fight between the hero and one Of
the Williams In the piece; a shipwreck.
following a realistic storm at sea, and
the heroic rescue of the heroine dur
ing the progress of a raging tempest.
The storm effects have all been pic
tured while nature furnished the ele-
ments and it required several weeks to
get the weather to match the desires Of
the director in producing the proper
effects. There Is little artifce about
"Mutiny.' it is one OF those forceful
and rugged portrayais to which the
screen so admirably lends itself.
For Friday and Saturday, Helen
Holmes is announced in another dar-
ing chapter OF .The Railroad Raiders"
and Musty Suffer in Pure and Simple"
In addition to the above on Saturday
Harry Carey will be seen in The AL
most Good Man" thrilling three
part western drama.
An announcement Of great interest
to all photoplay patrons will be made

ton 10 controlled by entirely different
principles which have no application
here.
There IL no question here of aban-
donment or discontinuance of service
as those terms are Understood In our
law. This Is purely question OF
the dissolution Of a corporation in

We have no power to prevent 1t where

this case.
II do not understand the pertinency
of the discussion in the majority
opinion of the subscriptions of va
rious localities to the stock of the
old Farmville and Powhatan Rail-
road company, the predecessor OF the
Tidewater and Western. 1t is to- be
deplored that this unfortunate invest
ment, along with the investment of
other stockholders. was w4ped out by
the judicial sale. purchase or organi-
zation OF a new company under the
name of the Tidewater and Western
Railroad company. 1t is also to be
regretted that the new company seems
to have inherited many, IL not all. of
the ills and misfortunes of it's prede-
cessor.
THE effect of a receiver having
been appointed since this application
was filed. and to which so much at
tention is given in the majority opin-
ion and upon which they seem now
to mainly rest their conclusion. Is, in
my opinion, immateriaL This matter
was argued orally and submitted
upon brief upon the mention or dis
solution and the receivership then ex-
listing was neither argued nor relied
upon. but. in my view, this is also
immaterial for the reason that the
corporation was in effect dissolved
when the consent application wa"
filed and the corporation commission
only had a ministerial function to per-
form of issuing the certificate.
Whatever financial difficulty the
Tidewater and Western may have had
for many years past and the losses
sustained by Its owners and bond
holders, is not necessary for me To
discuss now. It may be that the re-
ownership was fastened by our nom
action. At all events, ! take 1T. In

receiver whether we had acted upon
