In The Theatres
LYRIC.


 The coming engagemen of Pas s1on, the photodramatic spectacle, at the Lyric theatre, for the week be- ginning tomorrow evening, will no doubt be notable in more ways than one, but, according to advance re- ports, one of the outstanding fea- lures is the introduction of Pola Ne gri, the famous Continental star, as a screen artiste of the most exceptional ability. Most all the critics who have reviewed her work in this film are unanimous in the decision that she has at one leap taken her place at the head of the ranks, as an inter preter of screen characters. It seems she possesses an unusual inherent abundance of dramatic fire which en- gages the admiration, and besides she. is accredited with being one of the most beautiful of all women.
 Five thousand people are brought into the action of this motion picture in order to amply visualize the con f1ict around which the expressing story revolves- It is said this produc- ton is a screen epic of the first rank.

PLAZA.


 Those who remember the wond success of David BeIasco's famous stage production "The Heart of Mary land" will be pleased to hear that it has been translated into a stupendous seven-act feature by Vitagraph and will be shown four days starting Sun day at the Plaza theatre. It is de- scribed by Laurence Reid in his re- view in Motion Picture News as fol- lows: There is no question about David Beasca's famous play 'The Heart of Maryland' being the most dramatically effective of any stage subject written about the Civil War. Possessing as it does sure-fire in gradients, it has appealed to theatre goers ever since it was first presented. The picture is undoubtedly strong in pathos, heart interest and rance. The cast including Catherine Calvert, Crane Wilbur, William Collier. Jr. and others make a splendid aggrega- ton of film players"
 Announcement is made of the com ing of Princess Wah-Letka, the mas ter mind reader who was featured in Ziegfed's Midnight Frolic atop the New Amsterdam Roof, New York. She is without question the most mar velous of all persons possessing a similar talent. Have your questions ready and be convinced that her pow CTS are really supernatural. Other acts complete the bill for Monday.

HaJJTc-KiIEng Rail Rates
tFrom the New York Hersid).

A freight rate that loses the BUSH
ness is not worth anything to the
carrier in the way Of revenue; It is
not worth anything to the railroad
worker whose job depends on the
traffic that is hauled. Products OF
the mines and Of the forests nor
mally form the great bulk OF the
transcontinental railway traffic. But
the roads have lost 80 per cent. OF
the coast to coast shipments OF
eastbound lumber. It now goes by
the Panama Canal because the
water cost is cheaper than the rail
cost.
The lumber business which has
thus slipped through the fingers Of
the railroads is huge. The water
shipments from oregon and Wash
ington to Atlantic ports amounted
in the first half of this year to
1000. 600 feet. This 10000, 600 feet
OF lumber represented about 1886, 900
tons of traffic. At that rate the
whole year would show 100000 tons
taken away from the railroads
merely in oregon and Washington
lumber bound for the Eastern sea-
board. Every lumber train crew
which has been dropped because of
this dead business is out OF pocket
just as the roads are.
The railway managers are sens
ible enough to see that a great and
costly plant built and maintained
to perfrom certain work Is no bet
ter than junk either as an economic
machine or as a stockholders in
vestment II II does not do the work
1t was designed to do, whatever the
reason for not doing II. They wish
Evening journal., 1921-11-04

to make a trans-continental rate
which will bring back the lumber
rrafic to the railroads. They are
shaving the existing lumber tariffs
to try to find the point where the
traffic will return.
But there is a dead line OF oper-
ating expenses-the cost Of hauling
the freight-below which they can
not go with traffic receipts unless
they are willing to run head on into
receiverships. There is no profit
there is worse than no profit, there
is loss. in business costing more
to haul than the road cap get out
OF it in gross receipts.
Here is where the railroad labor
which has jobs, when the traffic
flows but loses the jobs when it does
not flow wants to look at the prob
lem from exactly the same angle as
the railroad manageable angle of
the imperative need to get the bust
ness. The railroad worker has the
same bread and butter stake in the
venture. The railroad worker can
not win. any more than the rail-
road manager and the railroad
stakeholder can. unless the missing
lumber or other traffic is recap
tured.
The railway workers and the rail-
way managers need to get together
on this dilemma which faces each
alike and work out the problem OF
reducing operating expenses so that
rates also may be reduced to the
point where they will command the
business necessary to pay the wages
and all the other charges OF main
tanning and operating the carriers.
