THEATRE ON SCREEN
Massive Set Is Constructed for ''The
 Worlds Applause"


 An unusually massive set even for these days of massive picture con- struction is that of the theatre scene in William de Miles great Para mount picture production of "The Worlds, Applause" featuring Bebe Daniels and Lewis Stone, which will be the attraction at the Rialto The atre for three days beginning Mon day. An immense stage was built at the Paramount studio, on which the superb Egyptian scenes of Cleopat- ra's day are enacted and in which Miss Daniels, in royal costumes, takes part. Many hundreds of per sons constitute one of the largest audiences ever gathered in any sini- lar scene. Miss Daniels, as Corinne d'Alys, a popular idol, scores her greatest stage triumph and how her subsequent career is blasted by the breath Qf scandal, the story graphi- cally tells. There are many dramatic and thrilling moments in the develop ment of the story, the timeliness of which is one of it's strongest assets. Lewis Stone is featured in the pro- duction with Miss Daniels.

Do Railroads Gain or Lose Money?
 Somewhere Something is Wrong
MIR. HOOVER ACCEPTS POVERTY PLEA WHILE I. C. C. SHOWS
 ENORMOUS SURPLUS FUND

December 31, 1919), plus the sum al
 legged to have been paid out for repair
 to the rolling stock on a part of tht system only during that one year, re
 presents total sum sufficient to bullc
 and equip more than 10000 miles of frs
 class line of railroad.
 And from this. undisputed official dats
 it appears to be very Obvious tha
 Secretary Hoover has disregarded the
 Statistics of Railways in the United
 States in his annual report, or that he has some inside information that nul1i- l hes and contradicts these reports, whicl reports by the way cost the people o1 | the United States several million dol lars year. 1 am aware of course that | the complaint has frequently been ad- vanced that "No reliance whatever" car be placed on official railway reports ir7 order to determine how much profit o1 of American steam railways, but never the less, the Interstate Commerce Co1n- mission is accepted far and wide as the highest authority in the land concerning railway statistics. If the Secretary or any other individual has any authentic information that renders the publication of the Interstate Commerce Commission null and void, needless to say, such in formation should be made public.
 GREAT NATIONAL PROBLEM. r In conclusion I take the liberty to paraphase the two last paragraphs of the Secretary's learned treatise for it is very obvious that the railroad problem looms up now as never before in the history of the country, as one of the paramount if not indeed the paramount political issue of the age.
 There can be no question that action in, some direction is imperative" In the various problems affecting the railroads of the United States the whole business organism of the country-industrial commercial, and financial-is involved and an understanding of these problems on the part of the general public ie obviously essential to their proper solution.
 If industry and commerce is to be conducted to promote the general vel purposes the constitution of the United States was written, then the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth must necessarily be revealed"
 "The sins of railway finance" appear to be no less unepdurab1e in these twentieth century days than they are ad- mitted to have been in past generations and 1t is not creditable to either the in- telligence or the patriotism of the AHIeICdll peOple IIldI tIley ndVeH dp- preciated, mot even faintly'' all that's involved in the perennial conflict, or that an attitude of bitterness should con- tinue when the plain "way out" of "the cycle" of misunderstanding is to "sett1e this fundamental economic problem in which the prosperity of all is involved. along right lines in fairness to all for the common good"
 Between Secretary Hoover's annual report and the annual reports of the In- terstate Commerce Commission there ap pears to be an irrecinci1ab1e discrepancy which should be officially recognized and explained.

BY LEVI STEPHENS LEWIS

If it is true as Secretary Hoover de clares in his annual report that trans portation facilities are crippled as the result of long g-continued financia starvation" of the railroads, and if it i: also true, as he further declares, thai commercial progress is impeded because of this alleged long-continued policy ot financial starvation, and that railway equipment therefore Is "entirely insuffi- cient" for present needs, then the facts of the matter should be made plain, for there Is overwhelming official evidence that nullifies and contradicts any such claims.
 MT. Hoover further declares in the same advance sheets of his forthcom- ing annual report, that railway earn ings under present conditions are ob- viously not large enough to assure rail- way expansion"
 Concerning this last claim it is suffi- cient to refer the Secretary to the Statistics of Railways in the United States" from which 1t appears that the clear net profits of the railroads divided and ndivided-averages, ac- Eording to these reports, in excess of ten per cent. annrrn on the par value of all outstanding railway stocks and penses and taxes, during, the four calen dar years 1o16-1o19, which as I have already pointed out in a former treatise, is obviously" twenty-five per cent. per annum at least on the present cost value of the entire system of Ameri- can railways.
 SHOWS BIG SURPLUS.
 If the Secretary will further study the Statistics of Railways in the United States, published by the Interstate Com merce Commission, he will discover fror~- the reports of "Income and Profit and Loss. therein contained, that the car riers had on hand December 31, 1919, more than three billion and two hundred of course undivided profits), which is a sum sufficient to build and equip first class line of railroad covering distance more than the entire circum- ference of the globe on which we live and move and have our being. These figures cover all lines, namely, roads Federal-and tnon-controlled, and they may be verified by reference to pages A 47 and g of the aforementioned pub Hcation.
 And still further: it appears from m the operating expenses of that year of class one roads only, the sum alleged to have been paid for repairs to rolling stock only exceeds one billion dollars during these twelve months which i- also an amount sufficient to build and equip ten thousand miles of first c1o~ line. And please note here that these figures represent only the cost of repairs to the rolling stock of class one roads The expense for such repairs for class two and class three roads appear not to be indicated
 A 4O,OOO-MILE ROAD.
 So it appears from these official re- ports that the undivided profit then in the hands of the stockholders, the owners
