Alabama cities will have complete control of the public utilities operat- ing within their borders if the legis- lature passes a bill which will be introduced Thursday. It provides that the supervision of utilities shall be vested in the city governments rather than the state public service commission, which has held the con- trol for several years.
 Details of the bill were agreed upon at a conference today at which William l.. Harrison represented the Birmingham commission and Harry T. Hartwell represented the Mobile commission.
 Indications in legislative circles were that compromise would be reached whereby the cities would ac- cept partial supervision only. and that the control would remain with the public service commission. It is each city affected by any cases in- volving public utilities will sit with the public service commission in the hearings.

Lionel At,uiH Urges Actors
To Undertake Many Roles

y actor is not an actor in the real
sense of the word until he can
characterize" is the view of Lionel At
will. who will be seen here this week
in The Comedian" land he cannot do
this until he has experimental in the
art of impersonating various parts.
ITO be an actor one should play A
variety of roles" he said in a recent
chat about the stage. THE oppor-
get this necessary experience are rare.
But it is an essential part of an actors
training and if one is sufficiently lucky
to attain any position of prominence
one is tremendously handicapped, if one
wishes to do more complex and finer
work. without this wide experience.
ITO the young man or woman ambi-
tiouS for success on the stage, my advice
is to play as. many different roles as
possible and not to think about the
money in the beginning. as long as you
can earn enough to live on. Look
upon the early part of your career as
capital invested in your future. Play
a bit under a good producer, and if
possible a different character rather than
jump into big roles for lengthy tours.
That experience should unquestionably
be a part of a players training lit
tie later on. because it is one thing to
assume a small effective character in
perhaps only one scene and another
entirely to sustain character through
three long acts, a fact many people do
not realize.
How far an actor should forget him
self in a character Is very favorite
topic of discussion" he continued.
Many great artists have expressed
widely dissimilar opinions, and yet 1t
would seem that the greater number of
the really brilliant and keenly intelli-
gent agree that the expression of the
emotions is covered and controlled at
all times by the brain and that one
never really loses oneself to the extent
of being oblivious to ones surroundings
and the technical values Of the particu-
lar scene being depicted.
"I do not wish to imply that the ex-
preston of strong emotion does not
take a tremendous lot out of one.
1t Is almost as exhausting as the real
thing because the presentation of the
emotion is real. but the brain is the
master and not just the slave of the
passion depicted, as 1t might be IL
that same emotion arose from situ-
alton in real life
.'It is the contention of many that
high comedy and especially high
modern comedy is the most difficult
form of dramatic art. Others con-
tend that greater technical skill and
intelligence is required for the classi-
cal drains and tragedy. This, of
course, like everything else, is
question of the individual actor.
There are many fine actors and
actresses who are capable of great
work in both types of dramatic art
and assuming that they have had
sound and varied experience In both
branches in the early days of their
career believe they find each
