Fare Will Be Reduced From 331 Cents, By Token, to 25 Cents, Effective Feb. 1.
Residents of Ibelle's Corner District to Ride From Center of City to Their Homes for Single Fare.

The fight against the fare and zones Of the Connecticut company's Hartford-New Britain bus line has resulted in reduction of the fare from 33 1-3 cents to 25 cents and an extension of first fare zone to Ibelle's corner.
 Mayor Paonessa, Senator Hall and Representatives filling and Rack life brought preassure to bear on the public utilities commission to order new fare and extend the first zone from this city. The city's delegation in the legislature visited the commission a few days ago and explained the situation. Mayor Pa onessa protested against the fare when it was announced that the bus line would be operated and he fol- lowed this up with the statement be- for the council as the result of which d formal protest was for warded to the commission.
 4 letter sent out by the commis- sion today says:
 Dear Sir: Referring further to your communication of the 14th in stant. concerning the Connecticut rjmpany's bus service between Hartford and New Britain respect fully advise that as a result of a conference with representatives of the Connecticut company, that company has arranged to change it's fare collecting system on the Hart fordNow Britain bus service, effec- tive February l, 1925. whereby, in stead of the present four zones or through fare of s l-3 cents by tokens, there will be only three zones and the through fare will be 25 cents by tokens.
 . The reduced rate of 25 cents for the through fare is without trans fer privilege on either end for through passengers but there will still be transfer privilege for the passengers within each first city zone in connection with the city service on that end of the line.
 The first zone out of New Britain, now terminating at the state normal school, will be extended to Ibcll's corncr.
 As to the question of schedule and necessity for more frequent service, it would seem advisable to wait until the line has been in op- eration a sufficient length of time to dctcrrninc from it's patronage, such demand.
 The commission assumes from the foregoing adjustment that there will be no necessity for hearing on the resolution or vote of the com- mon council passed at ifs session held Tuesday evening, January 1S. 1925
 kindly let us know If the ar engagement herein outlined is satis- factory and obiige.
 'Very truly yours,
 "RICHARD T. HIGGINS.

Washington, Jan. 22.--The post office salary bill, carrying also drus- tic revision of postal rates, was talk en up today by the senate.
 A move to make the pay increases retroactive only until January l of this year instead of July l of last year, gained hcadway after republi- can senators had conferred on the subject. Definite decision, however, was postponed.
 Walsh Opposed
 Another attack on the rate in- croases applying to newspapers was launched by Senator Walsh. demo- crat, Massachusetts, who offered an amendment to exempt weekly and daily newspapers with circulation of 5000 or less from any advances whatever.
 Senator Walsh read messages from the National Editorial association and the Country Newspaper associa- ton declaring the proposed advances would place an unjust burden upon the country press
 Without debate the first half of the bill, revising the pay schedules, was given initial approval.
 Senator Swanson, democrat, Fir- ginia, raised point of order against all the proposed rate in creases on the ground that revenue raising measures must originate in the house.
 senate Must Decide
 As presiding officer, Senator Jones' republican, Washington, ruled that the point was one to be decided by I vote Of the senate itself, A debate ensued. during which Chairman Sterling of the post office committee and Senator Moses, republican, New Hampshire, argued that the measure was not revenue raising legislation within the meaning of the constitu- ton.
 The rate section, Senator Moses said, was merely an emergency measure and could be revised after a thorough inquiry.

Beauty Alone Not Enough.

TT is an unusual city these days that

Just how much value these contests
have is subject of discussion in mo-

that people have enough tears in
real life without going to the theater
for il. But that is an exploded idea.
Mack Sennett, who may be said to
have created the modern screen COM
edy. and who gave most of the fa-
nous comedians their start and
training, has a sounder and more
practical explanation.
This is what he said to a Holly
wood correspondent recently:
Il think the stampede OF producers
toward comedy is due to this: That
the laugh is the only universal idea.
Sometimes producers will find a
sex play which is riot in the large
cities, but fails in the country towns.
Again you will find a heated love
drama which makes the fiappers gur-
gle for JOY. but bores older people.
Again a play will attract women, but
wearies men.
THE great problem of the movie
producer is to find an idea which will
cover the whole territory; which will
office in Medicine Hat as well as on
Broadway.
"A good comedy does this as no
other kind of play. They all seem
to laugh at the same things.
MANY of these new adventurers in
laughland will discover, however, that
there is more grief in making come.
dies than in drama. People have an
almost pathetic eagerness to laugh;
but it is hard to make them do 1t,
I'm making my own comedies |
find that we have to use better d.
rectors and better stories than ever
before. The fact is, making laugh
plays has become almost inconceiv-
ably difficult. The slapstick and the
custard pie have gone forever to their
great reward. A comedy in these
days has to be built with brains and
real drama as a foundation"

THE next big step in motion picture
development, according to Di-
rector Allen Dwan, will be the elm
ination Of the studio.
THE studio has always been a
makeshift." says Mr.. Dwan. In the
early days of picture making we took
a large proportion of the shots at the
actual locations. The outside of a
house in those days was really the
outside of a house. and often large
mansions were rented for a day so
that we could film their interior mag
nificences.
But this method proved unsatis-
factory, mainly because proper light
ing could be secured only at prohibi-
tive expense. This led to the develop
ment of studio sets, and to-day nine
tenths of every picture-interiors and
exteriors of every kinds taken
under tho studio roof.
This is camoufiage. The old
method had the right idea, even if ii
wasn't technically perfect. 1t al
lowed the use of real background for
the action. 1t gave a certain sin

Who Started the Flapper?

WHAT started the rumpus that Gre
ated the fapper? THE front
page of the magazine cover" says
Charlotte Greenwood, mark her argu-
ment
THE Germans never conceived such
propaganda as that which has been
carried on for the creation of the mod
ern girl" declares Miss Greenwood.
Have you ever stopped to think
of the subtle nfluence-perhaps not
so subtle either-of those lovely,
idealistic pictures of girls which for
years have been featured in the front
pages of magazines? Into every
household in the land these insidious
portraits entered.
What was the result? Young men
admired and then dreamed of such a
girl. Young ladies enVied, then
cursed and then embraced the ere
ations of the artists. When they
found that nature had not exactly cut
their features to the agaZinecover
pattern, they sought methods where
by they might approximate what ma
ture had left undone.

constant picturiZation of the beautiful
fair young person, without whom no
magazine could win million sub

the girls.

"THE world seems suddenly to have
been seized with a frantic desire
to laugh" So says an authority on
the subject.
Nearly every big movie producer
in Hollywood is searching his soul
for giggle makers. Comedies are the
order of the day" Comedians sud =
denly find themselves in demand at
prodigal salaries. The movie rights
to funny stories and stage comedies
have SCARED to the financial skies.
Even old comedies which We're dis
carded and forgotten decades ago
have been hopefully dug out and
shined up for resale. Gag men
members of the strangest profession
in the world--eXperts in banana peel
slips and pie collisions-find them
selves advancing in prosperity at a
tumultuous rate. Many OF them are
receiving salaries that would make a
novelist's eyes bulge out.
Several of the big dramatic COM
panies which were inclined to ele-
vate their eyebrows at the idea of
comedies are bending every energy
toward making laugh plays.
1T is evident that this is going to
be a year unique in the history of
pictures-a year of hilarity.
The particular reason for this out
burst of JOY and revelry. it is said,
probably can be traced to the stupen-
dous fortunes earned last year by a
few we'll known comedians and fun
ny pictures. Producers also are not
blind TO the fact that several big
spectacfes and not a few supposedly
dramatic pictures were saved by the
incidental comedy" The success of
1.-The Covered Wagon" was due quite

ing in a studio set, no matter how well
planned and built.
Poor lighting facilities for work on
actual locations forced us into the
studio. A new kind of lighting equip
ment, improved and simplified, will
take US out again.
This is the biggest need OF motion
pictures today. With lights that can
be easily transported and quickly set
up, we can film real homes, real
rooms. real trees and rocks, gardens
and pumps, and everything that
makes scene genuine and sincere.
The studio will then be used only for
filming those sets which must be built

lenses now used permit of showing
only a small segment of a scene, such
