Strange Role for Japanese.

In the Robertson-Cole fve-part
production His Debt" at the Prin-
cess today, Sessue Hayakawa plays a
role considerably different in charac-
ter from any in which he has been
seen. He gives a pleasing and I'M
usual portray . of the proprietor of
a house OF chance, and Is noticeably
successful in depicting the various
moods common to the aprticular type
whic hhe represents.
One of the characters which stands
out strongly, and which is given an
excellent portrayal by Francis j. Mac
Donald is that of Blair Whitcomb, a
young man whose prospects are
wrecked by the lure of gambling and
strong drink. Jane Noyak, in the
feminine lead, is also worthy of spe-
cial comment for her attractive work.
The picture is rich in artistic set
tings, and the action, somewhi slow
at the beginning. gains speed and sus-
pense as it prog 4 secs. 1t is picture
tina: the public will like, containing
enough of adventu . and melodrama,
and sufficient of the romantic ele-
ment 10 please the average individual.

the Keith Vaudeville acts engaged for
our re-opening failed to arrive. Up
to the very last minute we had been
assured the acts would be here but we
have since learned that many theatres
all over the country opened the new
season on Monday, Labor Day, as we
did, with the result that there were
not enough acts to go around. Every
effort was made to bring the promised
acts here for the first half of the week
but we are only now enabled to an
nounce with full degree Of certain
ty that we will have our complete bill
for the last half of this week and for
all the rest of the season.
In order to treat our patrons prop
erly the admission rate was reduced

Ponular Novel Film at Grand.

Through Eugene Walters dramati-
zation of THE Trail OF the Lonesome
Pine, at the Grand tomorrow, sweeps
the Joy, the zest, the enthusiasm of
youth In action. June's primitive love
is wonderfully developed by Mr.. Wal
ter's skill in transferring Mr.. Fox's
book-girl to the stage, while the seen
ic conception of the lonely pine, the
cabin and the conquest of the Gap
forms moving background of color
and naturalness. Seldom has play
been given such an artistic produc-
ton. 1t enhances the portrayal of
people whom primitive life has hard
ened with deep understanding and
sympathy. Miss Jane Ware in the
role of June gives an irresistlbly
charming impresonation of Mr.. Fox's
widely read book heroine.

Sweetest Girl in Movies.

That she is 1.-The sweetest girl in
the movies" is phrase that is grad
ually becoming linked with the name
of Vivian Martin. Miss Martins por-
trayals are always so unaffected that
those who see her pictures might al
most be said to be in love with her.
In her latest production, THE
Home Town Girl" which is shown at
the Nelson today, Miss Martin plays
the role of a quaint, little New Eng
land girl, whose fidelity to the man
she loved is as immovable as the
mountain. 1t is the sort of role which
has gained for her the gcrat army Of
admirers of which she can, but does
not, boast.

orchestra Helps Hipp Acts.

The Hippodrome's offering under
the new policy is dandy, and yet the
patronage yesterday afternoon and
evening was very much smaller than
was deserved. AS has been previous
ly mentioned in The West Eirginian,
the complete number Of vaudeville
acts engaged for the re-opening Of
this popular house did not show up,
and in CONSCIENCE the Management
very Justly reduced the price of ad-
missio so that patrons would be sure
to receive their full moneys worth.
And a full moneys worth 1t is in
truth. The show opens with much
ebtter movie than has previously been
shown at the Hipp and the vaudeville
act Of Fox and Evans which follows Is
far above the ordinary class. Both of
these boys are excellent entertainers,
particularly as regards their dancing.
Their teamwork brings out some
mighty clever steps, the like Of which
have rarely been seen in Fairmon,
and they easily show that they come
from the "big lme" circuits.
We have already expressed out re-
speet for the columbia Revue"
which is graced wit ha bevy of pretty
and capable girls and is headed by
Dot and Billie Zeitler. This couple is
exceptionally clever and we SO well
like BIllie's happy way of putting
across the song Sarah" we hope to
char him in similar numbers later in
the week. The tab changes for the
last half of the week and we are told
it will introduce more good things.
A noticeable improvement which
makes the whole show more enjoy
able is the fine four-piece orchestra
now furnishing the music. 1t puts
pep into the work of the performers
on the stage aid is at the same time
the kind of instrumental harmony
relished by the audience.

New Exchange Telephone Rates
Effective May l, 1919

A schedule of telephone exchange rates became
effective in Abbeville May by direction of the Operating
Board of the United States Telegraph and Telephone
Administration acting under the order of the Postmaster
General of the United States.
As you know, ali of the lines and property of this
company in the possession, control and being
operated by the United States Government under the
direction of the Postmaster General of the United States
The rates are necessary in order that additional
may be secured by the government meet the
increased operating expenses The which make
greater telephone necessary due to the
conditions and the price levels introduced by the
and entirely beyond the control of the United
States Telegraph and Telephone Administration of the
Telephone Company
More than two years ago the Company foresaw that the
telephone system would be operated at loss unless the
rates could be adjusted to meet the increasing costs of all
elements entering the production of service similar
rate adjustment would have been unavoidable under
private control and the schedule is practically
the would have sought in 1918 if the government
had not taken possession of our property
As stated by the Postmaster General the owners of the
telephone system do not benefit in any way from
changes Practically all of the increased operating
penses which require this additional due to
increased wages paid to employees to enable them to meet
the new conditions of life in the present day,
It neither practicable desirable to reduce wages
and far wages concerned believe that portion
Of the increased operating expenses to be permanent
The new schedule is fair and reasonable and the
percentage of increased which it will produce
much lower than the increased cost Of other services and
commodities of similar character
Complete detailed information about the rates may
be obtained at the managers Office We making every
effort to change records promptly and your courteous
consideration will be appreciated The for your
service is shown your statement for May l.
