Frontier Drama
At Colonial
Full of Suspense

Peter B. kyne wrote the story OF
THE Beautiful Gambler" the Uni
versal feature that will be shown at
the Colonial theatre today. 1t is one
of the most powerful and sensational
dramas ever shown on the screen and,
enhancing it's worth, is the fact that
Grace Darmond, famous blonde beau
ty, will be seen in the leading role.
A beautiful girls battle to save her
father from mania of gambling and
the thrilling situation which compels
her to auction herself off to the high
est bidder, are dramatic highlights
which help carry the story to eli
max as unexpected as it is forcefuL
BY ner Interpretation of the stellar
role Miss Darmond adds another
screen success to her list of dramatic
achievements and entrenches herself
even more firmly in the favor OF
screen followers. According to Peter
B. Kyne, who waS a visitor at the
etudio while filming of the story was
in progress, Miss Darmond is his
ideal of Molly Hanlon, the heroine or
the story as he visualized her When
he created the character.
Highly contrasting scenes of from
tier and city life. beautiful photos-
raphy and subtle touches of humor
and pathos add to the effectiveness OF
the production and enhance its value
Lighter notes are struck on today's

comedy, Movie Mad" The Para

who is by law instructed to pay
them. The special appropriation
provides for the payment of bills for
medical and surgical treatment in
such cases.
This department does not and
cannot withhold any part of an ap-
preparation, when the properly item
lied bills, accompanied by the evil
dence of the patients need, as the
law requires, are sent to this Office.
They are then endorsed and sent to
the auditor. There are absolutely no
restrictions, except those provided by
the law in the payment of bills under
The appropriation. The law requires
ne to sign the following voucher
fern, which goes to the State audi =
Tor:
referring to attached bill Of,
dated, it is hereby certified:
That satisfactory evidence has been
| filed in this office that the persons
| receiving care would receive such
treatment, support or education;
that they were not able to pay for
the same; that the rates charged are
no greater than those charged to the
general public for the same service
and that the rates charged to those
who are able to pay are not less than
the cost of the service rendered.
That the conditions specified in the
appropriation resolve, so far as they
relate to this institution, have been
complied with
Il think the facts in the case bear
out my statement that the payment
of these bills reduces the amount the
J Madigan Hospital could have other
wise expended in other cases"
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1921-06-30

Secretary James F. Bagley of the
State Board Of Charities and Correc-
tons recently gave out an interview
regarding bills being received by the
the Madigan Memorial hospital at
Houlton, after the doctors of that
town had refused to attend during the
winter confinement cases in the
country. Secretary Bagley in that
interview neither criticised the doc
tors or the bills, but stated that:
The payment of these maternity
bills by the State from the special
appropriation for the treatment of
persons by that hospital of persons
too poor to pay for their own care.
while a perfectly legitimate expendi-
ture from the appropriation, lessons
by that much the amount of money
available for charity service of d
different and more usual kind"
An article was published in the
Aroostook Daily News of June y,
giving statement of DR.. F. w. Mann
of Holllton to the editor of the News,
in which sharp criticism is made of
an alleged statement by Mr.. Bagley,
but which as published in the News
does not appear the correct inter-
view as published in the Kennebec
Journal.
The Aroostook News article was
shown Secretary Bagley, who, after
reading it, said:
my statement, which was cor
rectly given in the Kennebec Jour
nal, did not make the statement
credited to me in the Aroostook
News. Ny statement was based on
the following letter:
"'Madigan Hospital,
Houlton, Me-, June 5, 1921.
To James F. Bagley, Secretary,
Augusta, Maine.
Dear Sir:
THE enclosed bills will explain
the condition of cases. Last winter
the doctors refused to visit the coun-
try places during the winter months
consequently many confinement
cases rushed to the hospital and
many of them declared they were I'M
able to pay on account of the low
price of potatoes. We could not re-
fuse to take care of the cases-there
fore l considered it the right thing
to forward bills to the State. Many
poor patients have made a small pay
ment, but will never pay the balance.
May I forward such bills to the
State"
Yours truly,
"'Sister M. Cecilia, Supt.'
And now, according to law, those
bills have been approved by this de-
partment and sent to the auditor,

Trough its executive secretary. act
ling for the citizens of Bath and in
conjunction with other citizens. of the
State. stated in evidence that from
observation it is the opinion that
much traffic is not carried by the
ferry for reason of the present COM
mutation ticket costs, and that many
persons, rather than pay the pre-
yailing fares, park their vehicles on
either side of the river and use the
dence was also to the effect that
while many now use the ferry but
seldom, the issuance of reduced fare
communication tickets with longer
period of use for vehicle traffic would
produce more travel and be of more
benefit to both the ferry and the peo-
pie it serves.
Petitioners have offered certain
proposals as amendments to the ex-
listing fares. The changes proposed
dealing with the rate of fare for 10
round trip tickets, with the provision
that such tickets be unlimited as to
time.
while we will adopt, in part, the
proposed amendments of the petit
TONERS, we must decline the request
for a Communication ticket of unlimited
period of use. We shall, however. in
this order provide a period of valida-
ton so that those who may deem it
advisable to purchase the 10 round
trip ticket may do so and be as
sured of it's full use if they are to
travel to any extent.
Experience of the past six months
demonstrates that there is little or
no call for the present 80 and 20
round trip tickets, and this leads us
to believe that such tickets may be
eliminated without injury to any one.
The attention of the commission
has been directed by the chief engi-
neer of the highway commission, who
is the operating official for the ferry,
. to the present charge of IS which is
fixed for a special or emergency trip

actual crew cost for a trip after

less than actual labor cost.
