 Power company.
 'If there were nothing in the case except temporary breakdown in the gas or railway service due to temporary adverse operating conditions, one rem edy might be suggested; but if the trouble was organic and resulted from the structure of the company or the deliberate action of it's management, he city would obviously be justified in forcing a reorganization of tne property on basis satisfactory to the city that would enable and require the utility to give adequate service at reaS- enable rates

It is revers- ing the old order which showed the yellow man in a heather state of re- vulsion and the white man filled in contrast with brotherly love-
 David Griffith has spread his wings out into the open theater, into the very ether of dramatic adventure where loud words and the imminent physical dan ger have no traffic with poetic emo tions, lay no destructive impediment upon the shoulders of bitter tragedy. no obvious trickery upon the listening senses is the way Amy Leslie, dra-
 matic critic for the Chicago Daily News expresses herself in regard this production.
 Broken Blossoms is the most beautiful motion picture we ever have seen or ever expect to see. If we were director we should give up all idea of ever being original and spend the | rest of our time trying to make some thing as nearly as possible like this wonderful, fragile thing that David Wark Griffith has done says the dramatic critic of the New York Tribune.

 Buck Simmons George Walsh) is a student at Yale. His winning per sonality and his broad smile, coupled with his keen wits and athletic accom- plishments, soon move him to the very front rank of popularity. Then Aida Courtlandt nearly drowns and it is Buck Simmons that rescues her That's the beginning of the romance on the part of Buck and Aida, and of an intense war of hatred between Buck and Paul Browning, the re- jected suitor for Aida's hand. Buck having displaced him in the favor of the girl
 Then as the year draws to a close, the coming boat race between Yale and Harvard, an event in college his tory every year, looms large on the horizon, and Buck as the stroke oar, is looked on as the logical man to bring victory to old Eli. But Buck has Browning to reckon with, and many and varied are the schemes which Browning tries to use in dis crediting Buck. They all fail, with the exception of the final bold resolve to commit murder, and choosing his time well Buck is made the target for Browning's bullet, just as the winning

CONSTANCE TALMADGE. !. IN NEWEST PICTURE.
 AT COLUMBIA TODAY.

Shall I marry and lose my freedom or stay single and lose the man l lover is the question Constance Tal- make, as Suzanne Ercoll finds her self called upon to answer in her lat est picture Experimental Marriage" which opens a threeday engagement Rt the Columbia theater Sunday.
 Does marriage imply the abandon ing of all liberty on the part of the wife? When a woman marries a man, does it mean that she must give up her dearly beloved freedom and spend the rest of her life living for one man only out of the millions of men that exist on earth? These were the ques- tions that the charming widow Ercoll put to herself and found herself in- capable of answering.
 That's why she hesitated when liar rison Ford as Foxcroft Grey proposed 10 her. She loved him and wanted to hold" him in some manner so that she could be assured that he was hers alone, but she also dearly loved her freedom.
 Experimental Marriage" is an adaptation of the stage play, "Satur- day to Monday" by William J. Hurl- but. Robert c. vignola directed the picture.
