ADJUSTMENTS
ROMANCE, COMEDY
AND MELODRAMA
ARE PROVIDED

. There is everything to please in the
program at the Colonial theatre. The
two big dramas, the comedy and the
Outing Chester scenic which were
shown yesterday scored heavily with
big audiences at both the afternoon
and evening performances. They will!
be given again today and there is
every reason to believe that packed
audiences will greet the several pro-
auctions.
Since the days Of tho memorable
vogue Of "Trilby" the public has not
ceased to yearn for the paint pots Of
the studio. Greenwich Village, that
much press-agented section Of New
York. where artists" from Painted
Post and Red Dog throng to snuff
the aroma Of "Bohemianism," owes
much Of its prosperity to the glamor
which artists and their lives possess
for the ordinary mortal.
At the Colonial yesterday Augusta
people saw 1.-THE Virtuous Model"
which. as its name implie$, is a story
of the studios. not Of New York, but
Of Paree, the real Paree with the $.
silent. The Balzacian naughtiness
limited at in the title was not present
in the story. It lurked around the
corner. You knew it was there, yet
it was 50 hidden that it didn't offend.
The hint of it gave a certain zippi-
ness to the picture.
THE Virtuous Model" Is adapted
from Pierre VOLTS play, THE Gut
ter" 1t is the story Of a girl who
nearly became bad against her will,
but whose inherent decency brought
her through all right, even though
appearances were against her. It has
big moments and dramatic intensity
and through it all is the pervadiag
loneliness of Miss Cassinelli, in her
self picture, and rarely good one.
Take some finely acted and we'll
devised thrills, add generous por-
ton of crooks, real and imaginary,
stir in some complicated situations,
sweeten with comedy, garnish with a
beautiful leading woman and a good
looking leading man and you have the
ingredients which were used in maxi
ing Under Suspicion" an Ora Carew
feature which is also on the Colonial
program. .
up in Alf's Place" is a Mack Sem
| nett comedy which is also on the bill.
The famous Sennett comedians and
bathing girls have their parts in the
production. 1t is fully up to the Sen
nett standard which means that it IS
the best funny picture that ce6ld be
secured.-Adv.

Hundreds Of fatal accidents last
year and several thousand other peo-
pie injured in accidents caused most
ly by careless driving Of automobiles
up to grade crossings make a record
terrible to consider and Maine has
had her share. Secretary of State
Frank w. Ball. in whose department
is located the Automobile Bureau,
loses no opportunity to impress on
the automobile public the absolute
necessity for the utmost care in every
respect and at all times. He has
been working in cooperation with NJ
F. Dunn, general safety agent for
Maine for the United States Railroad
Administration, in several directions
to promote safety for the travelling
public. One Of the devices they have
agreed upon is copied from q New
York State idea and will consist of a
printed notice to be mailed with each
license issued from the Automobile
Bureau, as follows:
STOP! Each year more than
1900 persons are killed and 1000 in
jured on railroad crossings in the
United States. The number. is stead
lily Increasing.
LOOK! The majority of the de-
plorable accidents CAN BE AVOID.
ED BY automobilists exercising care
at grade crossings. DON'T TAKE
CHANCES. Even if a crossing Is
protected by gates. f1agman or bell
be sure you are safe.
LlSTEN!!! The best safety device
in the world is q careful driver
STOP. look BOTH ways and LIS.
TEN. Play safe. A moments eau.
ton may save your life.
The same wording on large posters
may also be distributed in prominen,
places about the State. in close
proximity to the railroad crossings.
