ness. The result is that each small
company is likely to be carrying as
a burden a fairly large amount of
idle property which has to be sup
ported by it's customers until time
when a use thereof is found.
IF the company does not develop
it's own energy, but purchases from
a generating company, and, as some
times happens, the company from
which it purchases is also a pur-
chaser from another company, there
is at least one profit and sometimes
two, that the last company has to
pass along to it's customers. Further
than this, the character of the serv-
ice rendered by a small company is
likely to be not entirely satisfactory,
the means for extensions are not al
ways available or. obtainable, the
territory is frequently only partly
served, and the rates charged are
likely to be fairly high.

ADJUSTMENTS
COUNTRY COUSIN"
BY HARRINGTON AT
COLONIAL TODAY

Decidedly one of the most pretentious
photopla-s yet given at the Colonial
theatre is offered today. 1t is 1.-THE
Country Cousin" by Booth Harrington
and Manager George Appleby promises
the most thoroughly enjoyable screen
entertainments the city has yet known.
The star of the production is Elaine
Hammerstein. granddaughter of the
great and only Oscar Hammerstein.
After many successes on the stage in
Broadway. she has now entered the ST.
lent drama. This is the first picture in
which she has appeared and in other
cities it is said her success has been
even greater than it was on the stage.
No better play has ever | cen present
ed on the American stage than THE
Country Cousin" Written by Booth
Harrington, it achieved immediate sue
cess. The screen version is declared to
be even better than the stage presenta-
ton. a Selznick-Select picture, Director
Grassland has embellished it ito just the
proper degree with scenes that are bril-
liant from a Photographic and lighting
standpoint
The story of THE Country Cousin" is
far different from the usual run of
plays. simple little theme it is. yet
it is so human and so appe aling that II
has stood out on both stage and screen
as one of the most human and appeal
ing ever presented. Briefly, the story
concerns Nancy Price, owner ard opera
tor of a big farm, and her cousin
Eleanor, also wealthy. Both have lived
in the country, but when Eleanor comes
of age and into possession of her prop
erty, she is persuaded by her father to
go to New York. Interesting develop
ments for the cousins follow with con-
clusion as surprising and as satisfying
IS one could wish. The whole picture
deals with real folks who make a very
strong impression on the spectators.
Today's program might very well be
called a double-feature bill for Mrs.
Joe Martin will again be seen. This
time she will play in cover the Tran
SON. in which this astounding ape does
more things that one would generally
attribute to a human being. A ripping
good Outing-Chester and Ford Weekly
are also on the program.-Adv.

cilities of the several companies and
the Central Maine Power Co, the
character of the, service rendered in
the consolidated territory become
more dependable and through various
companies resulting from the unified
control and use of all the facilities,
the company feels that it has not
only rendered a very high quality of
service but has been enabled to keep
rates throughout the various parts
of it's territory much lower during
the period of high costs than would
have obtained had the control been
diversified, as it formerly was.
"The Central Maine Power Co.. is
making very large development at
Skowhegan, which will add materi-
ally to the capacity of the company.
Within the territory which it is at
present serving it has a use for a
part of this new energy. But under
existing conditions a considerable
portion of this energy and consid-
cradle portion of the investment nee
essary to be made will be unused
and idle. Otherwise stated the
company in making this new devel-
opment. had to look to the future,
and, inasmuch as there was suscep-
tible of development a large amount
of power and inasmuch as the cost
of making full development would
not be excessively greater than that

the company concluded to make the
full development, procuring and util-
izing at the beginning only sufficient

necessities, leaving the installation

demonstrates beyond question that
under unified control it's territory has
been reasonably well served, and
that because Of this opportunity to
SO distribute it's available energy as
to practically utilize all Of it. the.
cost of operation has been kept
down and income has been material
ly increased.
1.-The company feels that it can Sc
cure somewhat Immediately mar
ket for considerable portion of the
energy which can be developed at
Skowhegan, it will be able to increase
very materially it's revenue, turn
into cash that which would other
wise for a time be running to waste,
and incidentally keep at a more rea-
sonable figure the total operating
costs and perhaps keep it's rates in
the territory served lower than would
be the result of carrying this idle in
vestment and idle property.
I'm the territory occupied by the
Oxford Electric Co. there is and has
been a demand for more energy than
the company has been able to sup
ply. In the territory served by the
Knox County Electric Co. the in
creasing demand has been met by
the company but has been met with
energy generated and supplied
through the Central Maine Power
Co. In the territory served by the
Androscoggin Electric Co. new de-
velopments are now going on, but
Lewiston and Auburn are growing
very rapidly, and there is a limit to
the amount Of energy which the
| company can generate in that prop
| erty which it now owns or which it
can acquire upon the Androscoggin
River.
"The Central Maine Power Co.,
with it's new development at Show
| hogan and by improving and fully
utilizing the facilities of the Andros-
supply all demands for energy with
in the entire territory and by stimu-
lating that demand through care
full canvass and by letting it be
known that it has ample power to
meet all demands, it is believed that
| there will be an immediate new use
for energy and that that increased
use will continue and be reflected. in
added operating income.
| "One question of importance in
this matter remains to be considered
and upon this proposition we realize
there may be opportunity for differ
cnce of opinion. This relates to the
! question of whether it is wise to
/ permit a consolidation which will
result in enabling one public COM
pany to occupy a very large and
very important part of our State.
The writer of this opinion believes
! that so far as hydro electric COM
panies are concerned the union of
relatively small companies into one
! large corporation is for the benefit
of all the customers of each of the
companies and is best for the State
as a whole. II a relatively small
hydro electric company is serving a
fairly small community, the devel-
opment of the facilities with which
it renders service is likely to be ex-
pensive and if it overdevelops, as is
natural in providing for future
growth, this over development has
to be supported by the customers of
the company and oftentimes results
in considerable burden.
IF additional power is desired, and
new development has to be made,
good Judgment on the part of the
company will require it to over
, develop in anticipation of future BUSH

The greatest role he has yet played
will be assumed by Bert Lytell, the ia
nous Metro star, when 1.-The Right of
Way is given at the Colonial theatre
on Thursday. Nearly everyone has read
this famous romance of Canada by Sir

one of the most distinctive and capable
novels Of recent years. Lytell plays an
unusual part, that of Charley Steele,
the dashing young attorney in Montreal
