Cnsc."

Washington movie visitors are TO
see a splendid film presentation of
The Cavell Case" at Loew's Co.
lumbia Theater. beginning today
and continuing through Wednesday
OF this week. Julia Arthur, the
eminent American actress, who es-
tablished her right to fame in the
well-known stage successes, The
Eternal Magdalene," "Seremonda. d"
The Flame of Liberty" and others
carries the title role in this picture
Realizing that the story of The
substantiated by the official report
of Brand Whitlock, American Min
lister to Belgium. Miss Arthur de-
voted much study to the life and
character of Edith Cavell and her
portrayal of the martyred nurse is
said to be truly wonderful.
1t is to be further noted that The
CaVell Case" is not a war picture,
if that term is taken to mean
spectacular battle scenes. The very
few trench scenes are only inciden-
tai to the story of the life and
death of Edith Cavell. which is pre-
sented as an historical document
that will be referred to by students
for the establishing of her inno-
cence.
For the latter half of this week,
beginning Thursday. Loew's Column

a melodrama. After Midnight" The
following season he was under Froh-
man management. playing John Ma
poleon Darling with Maude Adams in
Peter PAN" and he was still young
enough to consider the pillow fight in
the first act the best part of his role.
BY way OF contrast came next a
dash into musical comedy-Gus Ed
wards school Days" was the piece
and young Kelly won favorable COM
ment for his comedy as Johnny Bos-
tonbeans. Later. in the condensed
version OF School Days" he toured

small task for lad who hadn't yet
attained voting age to handle sixty

plays, Mr., Kelly played all the de-
lightful boy roles in Mr.. Walkers
whimsical pieces, "The Six Who Pass

less" The Very Naked Boy" and his
dramatization of oscar Wilde's "The
Birthday of the Infanta." He also
played important character roles in
Lord Dunsany's "The Gods of the
Mountain" King Argimenes and the
Unknown Warrior" and the old Eng

Concert and Lectures

At the Boston Symphony Concert in
the New National Theater, Tuesday
afternoon. January 7th, there will be
an opportunity to hear the new
American concertmaster of twenty
six, Fredric Fradkin, who is to play
the solo part in the concerto which
more than any other music has pop
ularized the name of Mendelssohn.
Although Mr.. Fradkin's parents were
Russian, although he studied in Paris
and played everywhere, still he was
born in Troy, New York, and has
lived here most of his life, and one
need only talk to him two minutes
to recognize him as an American first
and last. He was the first American
violinist to take a first prize at the
Paris Conservatoire, was presented
with a fine instrument by the French
government. studied with Remy and
isaye, played principally in Paris,
Brussels and Vienna, and came TO his
country as concert master for the
Russian Ballet in 1915.

a lieutenant in an army camp on the
Arizona border, who is in love with
the daughter of a nearby rancher.
As result of circumstances, the
lieutenant is made the victim of un-

COUNCIL HEARS APPLICATION.
Postpones Action of Public Utilities
Until Next Monday.

Members Of the city council held a
long conference with Vice President
John A. Reed, Of the Iowa Railway
and Light Company, this forenoon, to
give Mr.. Reed an opportunity to pre-
sent the company's application for an
audit Of it's accounts for the purpose
Of arriving at a basis for new ordl-
nance increasing the rates for gas,
electric light, and power. The COM
pany is asking for an ordinance to fix
the maximum rate for gas at sl.40 per
/ 900 cubic feet, instead Of 81. the pres
ent price. and an increase of 20 per
cent in the rates for electric light and
power.
The council heard Mr.. Reed but de-
cided to take no action on the petit
tons for the audit before the regular
council meeting next Monday. Mr.
Reed covered orally the same ground
set out in the formal petition, in an
effort to convince the council that the
increased cost of coal and labor made
it necessary for the company to re-
ceive a higher rate for its services if
it were to maintain its property. pay
its dividends on its preferred stock
and earn a reasonable profit for its
common stockholders.
Altho the council took no action 1t
may not agree TO the audit or pass an
ordinance increasing the rates. Some
council members hold the view that
in these war times the public utilities
company should not expect the same
revenue it enjoyed before the war
brought on high prices. There is rea-
son to believe that the public utilities
company is laying the foundation for
an application to the court in an eff
fort to compel the city to audit the
books and pass new rate ordinances
if the council refuses the application
now on file.
