Would Cause Receiverships.

What would happen if the rail
roads were to go back into private
control in anything like the near flu
ture?" Mr.. Woolley asked. Would
not receiverships come practically
overnight? Furthermore. with post
war conditions-the shrinkage of
values. uncertainty, timidity-pre-
vailing. and business of the rail-
roads necessarily decreasing for the
time being. how many railroads in
the United States are there that
would not be in danger of bank
ruptcy?"
Mr.. Woolley advocated adoption of
a mileage system. based upon line
hauls plus terminal costs, as fair
and equitable plan for making
freight rates. AS determined at
present. the freight rates make it
possible for one town to prosper and
grow while another town with as
great or greater natural advantages
lis virtually put to Sleep" he said.

ASKS REFERENDUM
ON RAIL CONTROL
R. W. WooIIey Wants Vote
After Next Presidential
Election Is Held.

PORTLAND, Me-, April 16.-Contin-
uation of federal control of railroads
long enough after the next presi-
dental election to allow the voters
to express their wishes in regard
to the question through the election
OF candidates to the SiXty-seventh
Congress was urged here last night
by Robert w. Woolle. member of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. in an address before the Port
land Economic Club.
Mr.. Woolley declared that such an
extension of government control
should be allowed in justice to both
the average citizen and the owners
OF the roads. inasmuch as 1t was
the only practical and safe solu-
ton of the situation as now present
ed. If the railroads were turned
back in the near future. he said. the
owners would have to put into eff
feet another rate increase to make
up for the loss due to lessened traf-
fic since the armistice.

TOY SHOP COMEDY
A PRETTY AFFAIR
Fairnont Amateurs Viii
Repeat Musical Play
at Grand Tonight.

Ell Fl of the Toy Shop" musical
comedy especially we'll adapted to
amateur performance, was presented
before large and appreciatlve audi
ence at the Grand last night. III
comedy was given under the auspi
of the Ladies of the Maccabees;t
was directed by Miss Madeline c..
in, representative OF the john
Rogers Producing Company.
The happenings in the little &C.
edy represent the dream of Bonni
the small daughter OF an old toy ma
err (Carl Pressman), who, hayin,
streayed away from the toy shop
where she lives with her father, falls
asleep in the wood after the Sandman
had paid her visit
The part OF Bonnie was cleverlA in
terpreted by Miss Mary X. TOAd,
whose ability as an amateur actreaS
has been proven on previous occasions
The/part of the little girl gave her
chance to prove her versatility and
adaptability, but allowed no scope for
dramatic work, in which field she is
especially clever. The Sandman was
portrayed by Frank Jordan, his part,
however, being limited to several
songs which proved the quality Of an
unusually sympathetic baritone voice.
Fl Fl, very firtatious French
doll, could not have been more Clev-
erly handled than in the personality
of Miss Eva Hartley, who not only
possesses pretty voice, ability to
dance, but an unusual amount of stage
presence. The love story Of the conf
edy centers about this little flirt, who
tops indiscriminately with the saw
dust heart of Prince Lolly Pop Jar

at her command. The Man in the
Moon" John Red) also comes in for
pretty affair with Fl Fl, which
brings in clever dance and several
pretty songs. Other principal doll
parts were taken by Mrs. Jay Snod-
erly, representing a rag doll. Laugh
ing and Talking dolls (Mrs. Greed Boil
yard and Miss Edith Louden), Capt.
Barnacle (Albert Boggess), and last
but by no means least, the Topsy Doll,
"Inkspot" miss Beatrice McNeely) =,
who carried away more than her
share Of the laughs. Miss Irene Davis
played the part Of Witch cleverly,
getting off most witchlike "cakle, "
which made hit with the audience.
The comedy was greatly enliyened
with pretty as swell as grotesque
dances by a number of china dolls
and also paper dolls the Bridesmaids
Fantasy and Bopeep Chorus coming
unden the former head, while dance
by the owls and pussy cats fell under
the latter. Sandwiched in between
the two was dance by the jumping
jacks, and one must not forget the
clever magic letter blocks, drill by
number of young girls.

0Pretty Baby" at Hfpp.

"Pretty Paby" the musical comedy
which Jimmie Hodges viii present to
the patrons Of the HippOdrome thea
tire next Monday night is one of the
best singing attractions on the road.
All the way - IN from Geo. b. Twyman
and Rene Vincent to the humble Choir
listers, the voices are excellent ivy
man is rare combination of singer
and comedian and is more than profit
Gent in both lines. Not only is Miss
Vincent comedy of person and grace
full dancer but her vocal efforts stamp
her a vocalist more melodious than
is usually found in the field of must
cal comedy There are two others in
the cast, Ollie Hodges and Adelaids
Mack who are very little if any behind
the stars in the cast as to comedy and
also run up to them as vocalists. The
Pretty Baby" trio, a male trio is an
excellent organization heard in many
popular harmony numbers. The male
chorus is well worth while. The stand
ing OF the show however is not Who'll
ly dependent upon the vocal efforts.
"Pretty Baby" is brim full of new and
original novelties. The scene "Pa-
trIotism" which closes the first act is
unusually gorgeous and tuneful, and
the last scene atop Of New York Roof
Garden is one which will be remem-
bered.

clay Made Farrar a Rr!de.


The photoplay that made Geraldine
Farrar bride, maria Rosa" will be
the attraction at the Nelson theatre
today. This has been called the pho
ltoplay that made Geraldine Faraar
BRIDE" because it was while Miss
Farrar was at the Lasky studios in
'SCalifornia making this production that
she first met Mr. Lou Tellegen, the
stirling young actor, whom she mar
ried in New York several months later.
In Maria Rosa" Mis- Farrar has
part quite different from the role OF
pCarmen" or Rene Dupree in Temp
tation." In this Spanish tragedy, TAX
on from the play by Guido Marburg
and Wallace Fitzpatrick and founded
on the story by Angel Gulmera, Miss
Farrar appears as young Spanish
peasant girl, for whose hand two ad-
mirers are in eager contest, One OF
the youths, Ramon, is of jealous ma
ture and liked by Maria Rosa. The
other, Andres, is her favorite. These
roles are played respectively by Pedro
de Cordoba and Wallace Reid.
Ramon manages to remove the IA
vored Andres by having him falsely
accused Of crime for which he is SEN
fenced to long prison term Believ-
Ing Andres dead, Maria Rosa, after
much persuasion, finally consents to
marry Ramon. On the wedding day
Andres returns and the whole plot is
revealed to the heartbroken Maria
Rosa, The finish of the play is with
Ramon's death and the happy uniting
Of the two real lovers.

soeIaI Problem PIay.

The strongest. most effective pic
lure Of It's kind that has been made Is
the seyen-part production THE Fin
ger Of Justice" showing at the Grand
tomorrow. This picture was produced
by the Rev. Paul Smith, pastor OF the
Central Methodist Episcopal church,
San Francisco who was instrumental
in opening the recent anti-vice cam
paign in San Francisco and through
put California.
The story of the picture consists OF
series of the most tragic events in
connets on with the campaign, and
takes its foundation in the illumina-
ton of underworld politics apd graft,
the life of political boss who actual
" met a violent death as result of
his own ill-doing. The Barbary Coast
As symbollzed in the story by an evil
resort called "The Web" Here the
chief Magdalen resides in luxury, 40
ing her masters bidding in keeping
the place popular. In revenge for hiS
neglect of her she aids Flip, one Of the
decoys of the resort, in Turing away the
young daughter of the boss, who had
been carefully kept out Of harms way
In the country. In the scrap that fol-
Gws when the enraged father discoy-
ers his undoing he is shot by the de-
coy.
There is also an incident Of the ruin
Of another girl who is pictured at that
despairing period when she is cast
upon her own resources with no legiti-
mate means of support. And there is
the parallel story of the clergyman's
fight for the removal of the city's dens
Of vice, one of the telling scenes of
which is the visit to his church OF
legion of women Of the underworld to
plead their cause.
The money realized from the pro-
luction, which, by the way was fl
nanced by means of donations from
interested parties in San Francisco,
will be used in the solution Of the
general rehabilitation problem and will
be handled by the Rev. Paul Smith,
Charles Jewett, mayor of Indianapo-
lis, and Dan BrummH, editor OF the
8EpWorth Herald.
