:" BOLTED DOOR, DRAMATIC
FILM STARRING MAYO

Frank Mayo comes to the screen
of the Liberty theatre next Tuesday
in THE Bolted Door," the story Of
a man married to wife who refuses
TO fulfill her marriage obligations.
Mayo in the role of the husband
whose problem is to win the love
of the woman he has married, Is
called upon for an intense dramatic
portrayal. The conflict of emotions
engendered by the situation calls up
on Mayo for strong dramatic por-
traya1.
Opposite Mayo will be seen beautf-
full Phyllis Haver, who is given full
opportunity to display her dramatic
talents and the beauty for which she
is famous. Nigel Barry plays polite
heavy role. Two other well known
players who have important parts are
Charles A. Stevenson and Kathleen
Kirkham
George Gibbs, noted novelist, wrote
the story, and George Randolph Ches-
ter, equally famous as an author, pre-
pared the continuity
William Worthington, who directed
Mayo in some of his most successful
pictures in the past, guided the fi1n-
ing of THE Bolted Door,

Of the so-called dead time. BY dead
time I mean the interval between con-
nections at junction points and termi-
nails. An intensive and, l am sure,
profitable use of this dead time is now
being taken advantage of by the Post
Office department in its SO railway mail
terminals.
Translated into dollars per year the
average postal car costs the depart
ment in excess of $500 per square
foot, and this only for an average of
eight to fifteen hours per day. Space
in railway mail terminals costs the
department less than l per cent of this
sum, conclusively proving the economy
of intensive terminal working of mail
where train schedules will permit.

1t costs the government half 4 mil

mails. Assistant Postmaster General
Henderson has compiled figures to
show the various units. He has just
given to postmasters a summary of
the costs and of the efforts of the
Postoffice department for speed and
economy in mail movement in the fol

The railway mail service is by far
the largest unit of our mail transport

1t piles up q bill OF over $94, 600 900

But she did answer 1t, just as soon
as she had lowered the fire under the

a book agent.

tender than usual, or it might be due
to the fact that this agent was young
and had sort of wistful appeal about
her, or it might be because she was so
different from the others that had
come and lacked the amending flow of
words they had all seemed to possess,
but whatever was the cause Bertha
Prescott did-an unheard of thing for
her-she invited the agent into the
house and actually asked her out into
the cozy kitchen to have lunch with her.
"Poor DEAR" she was saying to her
self few minutes later, ''She must
have been actually hungry. And
came very close to not letting her in"
After lunch was finished Bertha
drew from the girl little of her story
illness, the loss of her position, and
finally her trying her hand at selling
books. Through it all Bertha could
see the brave spirit of the girl and the
untold hardships that she had endured
during the time since her illness. She
could also detect how near TO despair
the little agent had been when she
came to her door.
Then Bertha Prescott did another I'M
heard Of thing for her-she told the
little agent of the loneliness in her
heart and of the little girl she had
lost in the long ago, and of how emp
ty her life had been ever since. And
when she had finished she asked the
girl II she would not stay with her
through the Christmas time, and there
was 4 genuine appeal In her eyes and
