ADJUSTMENTS
DUSTIN FARNUM
IN HIGH CLASS
DRAMA TODAY

Dustin Farnum, the most recent of
the popular movie idols to be added
to the Robertson Cole list of stars,
will be seen in his first production
under Robertson Cole management
at the Colonial theatre today when
he appears in the seven-reel feature
Big Happiness" by PAN" the ia
NOUS English novelist.
IN this rather remarkable photo
play, according to the reviewers, the
scenes of which are laid in Switzer-
land, London, Paris and New York,
Farnum is seen as a wealthy socieo
man and as an idler and waster.
The story is said to have unlimited
suspense element due to the unusual
ly novel plot which necessitates the
disappearance of the society man
only few days after his wedding to
and the substitution of the wastrel
in the place of the bridegroom.
How the "black sheep" of the aris-
tocratic British family fulfills the
task thrust upon him, how he actu-
ally became the living exponent of
the part he played, and how this
strange triangle of life works out to
a happy and successful conclusion
makes big Happiness" a really big
story for a truly big actor, it is re-
ported.
Her Night Out" is rollicking
comedy that will also be seen on the
program as well as the fourth cpl
sode of velvet Fingers" the great
serial and the Pathe Review.-Adv.

Ask any playgoer to give list OF
a possible 20 of the biggest hits of
the last few years and no doubt there
will be found among them the six
that are to be the attraction at the
Opera House next week.
Monday evening finds lombard
Limited on the boards. This play
with Leo Garlic in the cast ran on
Broadway for two years. Its story
about the fashionable dressmaking
establishment was not only new and
unique but interesting as well. AS
staged, cast and costumed by the
Chicago Stock it has lost little of its
charms which delighted New York
audiences for such an extended run
Tuesday brings She Walked in Her
Sleep. This play also had a phe-
nomenal run in New York and was
acclaimed by the press and public tc
be a real novelty with lots of good
laughter.
Wednesday finds a play that has
been delighting audiences throughout
the country for the last two years al
Two Dollar prices. This is The
Naughty Wife. by Fred jackson. A
clever comedy for clever people is
the way the bills read and this is
very true. 1t has never before been
seen at popular prices and local the
atre goers can have no fear in bring

ing their sons and daughters or even
the minister to see this play.
Thursday the offering will be Keep
1t To Yourself. This is a translated
farce from the French of Keroul and
Barre. With all it's original French
chic and flavor tits farce that will
delight the palates of lovers of
farce.
Friday the melodrama of the week
will be Gail Kane's stage success,
The Woman in Room 10. This is
one of the newer style melodrama
wherein the usual Blood and Thun-
der is eliminated but all the interest
which made the old melodramas so
popular is retained.
Saturday the sixth and final play of
the week will be Mary's Ankle. This
comedy from the pen of May Tully
deals with a penniless doctor, fake
wedding, and sprained ankle. The
story is one of life and has an ap-
peal that is long remembered. A
hit on stage and screen it is fitting
climax to week of great hits.
Judging from the sale of seats
Standing Room Only" will be a
common occurrence at the Opera
House next week and patrons are
advised to order seats early for the
Chicago Stock engagement to avoid

WOrkmen's Compensation
Rates Increase Refused
BY Ins. Dept.

Insurance Commissioner, G. Wall
don Smith, having recently ruled
that he would not permit any in
crease of Workmen's Compensation
rates unless it was proven to his
satisfaction that the experience in
Maine justified such action, has just
completed a compilation of all poll
cies issued during the years 1917
1918 by the various companies doing
business in this State, to which will
be added as soon as available, the
experience of 1919 before he permits
any changes. Immediately follow
ing the increased compensation bene-
fits granted by the. Legislature of
1919 the carrier companies held sew
eral conferences with Commissioner
Smith, more than two score of ac-
tuaries and statisticians being pres
emit. It was represented to Com
missioner Smith that the liberalized
benefits called for an increased
premium of $500, the claim not being
sustained to the satisfaction of the
commissioner he refused to permit
any increase.
BY this ruling there was saved the
wage-paying business life of Maine
approximately $450000, and as the
same schedule of rates are still in
force, the second year ending Janu-
airy LIST, 1921, more than 100000 will
again be saved as a result of this rul-
ing. Until the present Legislature
has ceased its work and enacted such
measuring affecting Workmen's Com
pensation no changes will be per-
mitted by Commissioner Smith.

READING COAL PLAN
APPEAL IS EXPECTED
Effort Being Made to Get
Small Holders' Support.

II is practically certain that the Pros
ser committee, representing common
shareholders of the Reading Company
will appeal from the modified coal
segregation plan, under which Its pre-
ferred stockholders are to share equal
rights with its common stockholders. z.
L. Maynard, president of the Brooklyn
Trust Company and chairman OF the
subcommittee representing larger hold
ers OF Reading Company stock, expects
a general response to letters sent out
asking for funds to defray the legal ex-
pcnses of the action.
Although the willingness Of the larger
stockholders IS expected to result in ar
early decision to take the appeal, an
effort will be made TO enlist the support
of the smaller holders, whose proxies
are held by the Prosser Committee, and
other owners OF Reading common who
have not been sounded as to their bear
Ing part Of the expense in cohtesting the
segregation plan. The representation OF
the Prosser committee, cut to $4,000
shares by the withdrawal of the Widener
block Of 100000 shares, has been aug
mented to about 100000 by addition OF
other interests.
