This accident is most distressing,

which she and her relatives were
called upon to pay this terrible price"
says the Public Utilities Commits
sion in a decision handed down
Tuesday in the Cumberland County
Power and Light Company accident
at South Portland, Dec. "a. 1928, re-
suiting in the death of Miss Ruth
Bachelor of Omaha, Nebraska.
The decision is in part as follows:
I'VE find upon investigation that
Miss Bachelor. an attendant at q
school at Boston. was passing the
Christmas holidays at the home of
one of our citizens. Christmas eve,
in company with other young ladies,
she went about singing carols in the
streets of the city. and while engag-
ed in this she stood upon the railroad
track used by the Cumberland
County Power e Light Company and
was run into by one of it's cars. re-
sulting in her death, which is be-
lieved by the physician who was call

Three New Pictures Appear on

Something that has never happen
ed in Los Angeles before in the his
tory of the motion picture industry
and probably will not soon again, re-
Gently occurred there. \ motion
picture director had three first run
pictures running in three first run
houses at one time. Jimmy CruZe is
the director. And the pictures were
"The Covered Wagon"-at Grauman's
Hollywood. "Ruggles of Red Gap" at
Grauman's Metropolitan. and "Hol-
lywood." at Leow's State.
Which brings to mind a few re-
marks that might be made upon
James Cruze. Director He is Il
young man who is turning out great
pictures. He is ringing the bell time
and again, not only with the box
office but with the critics. Yet he
is the most businesslike. the least
verbose man you ever met. He never
talks about art. He doesn't take
himself seriously. Generally, his
pictures can he cut in a few
minutes. because he has shot so close
to what he needed that there is
really nothing to do but make a
selection of the best takes" of a
scene.
There is n tradition in Hollywood
that he once shot a picture that only
had to be trimmed 500 feet-this
when most directors who make big
features shoot hundreds of thousands
of feet. Chaplin admits to 100000
feet of film shot to get 1900 feet Of
picture for THE Woman of Paris"
He's making good. human, honest
stories that he hopes are going to
give mama, and papa. and the kids

wholesome enjoyment. that will make
them forget their cares and troubles.

Interesting facts CLEANED from the
tenth annual report of the Somerset
Dairying Association show that the
receipts for the past year amounted
to $57,64334 The association has
paid out to the farmers of this sec
ton during the past year for butter
fat $43,535.54. 1t has paid for the
collection of cream $3,3S9.29. The
creamery was started in modest
way ten years ago as a Cooperative
Associa ton and the business has
steadily increased and it will be seen
by the above figures that 1t means a
sizeabie revenue to the farmers in
this vicinity. The Association now
; has a modern plant on Jones ST.,
valued at $10,159.90 and the amount
in the hands, of the treasurer Jan

Human Wrecka9e" Plays TO CapaC.
ity Crowds on Second Day of its
Four boy Run at the Augusta
Opera House IS Z
All humanity should give thanks to
Mrs. Wallace Reid for giving to civil
lization her much discussed anti
narcotic photoplay, Human Wreck
age" shown yesterday at the Opera
House.
By all odds the most predominant
feature % Human Wreckage" Is the
sincerity of Mrs. Reid. This cour-
ageous little woman who has just
come through an ordeal of nerve
shattering terror has begun an I'M
RENTING campaign to check the
swiftly spreading tide of dope ad-
diction which is gradually encom-
passing the entire world. Human
And it is a step well taken.
The photoplay is not one of sordid
tendencies. 1t is entertainment, -
powerful entertainment, perhaps =
but how, one asks, would it have
been otherwise possible to drive home
to humanity the real story Of drug
addiction?
Human Wreckage" is in no sense
biographical. 1t does not depict the
troubles of Mrs. Reid or the suffer-
ings of her lamented husband. 1t
does not portray any side of the all
too-well-known story of the tragedy
of Wallace Reid.
The story has to do with the brave
struggle of a famous attorney to t1ght
off the dread habit of addiction. an
attorney who succumhs to the attic
ton and then, after falling as low as
human mortal can fall, succeeds by
almost superhuman efforts in Kidding
| himself of the disease. AS the at
| torney, Alan MacFarland, James
Kirkwood achieves the unquestioned
triumph of his brilliant career.
J Scene upon scene reveals with
! towering drama the fight MacFar-
, land makes to break himself of the
f., habit of. addiction. His wife, i'm
! personated with exquisite pathos by
Mrs. Reid, stands heroically by his
side throughout. succeeding finally II
rescuing him from the grip of the
dread opiates that were steadily
sending him to his doom. a.
The performance of Bessie Love
/ also touches a lofty peak of artistry
AS the little addict. mother, Mis-:
Love reveals herself as tragedienn'
