The various comedies that the
Harry p. Krivit Company has produc-
ed at the PaXtang Park
PaXtang Theater during the past
Park three weeks, have been
ThenteF pronounced classy and
pleasing. The music has
been good and the numbers staged in
a manner beyond reproach. This week
the company is presenting a comedy
of the same standard that Is some-
what different from an of it's pre-
decessors. The leading comedy part,
played by A. Seymour Brown, is that
of a darkey in quest of gin& and the
fun is along more hilarious lines than
the usual evening dress parts played
by Mr. Brown.
But the change is acceptable, and
the Krivit Company's popular come
dian and songwriter is, perhaps, more
pleasing to the park audiences in the
blackface part than anything he has
attempted during his engagement at
PaXtang. At any rate, the show makes
a good evenings entertainment

Every little helps. But
the price of materials,
equipment, labor, fuel,
cars, tracks and everything
else that goes into the
maintenance and operation
Of the cars has mounted too
high to be taken care of by
the five cent fare.
The public realizes these
things. The railroads have
increased the fare and
justly so. Street car fare in
many cities throughout the
United States has been in
creased to meet the de-
mands of the expenses. In
some instances the fare is
eight, nine or ten cents.
Harrisburg must keep
her street cars a-going.
And the fare must be made
the right amount to meet
the conditions.

The Public Realizes
Transportation
Difficulties

We are now face to face
with a stern reality. The
operating expenses Of the
street cars have risen to
heights heretofore never
contemplated.
There isn't a thing in the
street car business that
hasn't gone up in price, ex-
cepting the fare. And the
fare is entirely too low to
meet the cost Of operating
the cars.
The government has
helped in various ways to
cut down some expenses,
such as adopting the skip
stop plan throughout the
country, but that is only a
small part.
