About q month ago, Just an
preparations were going forward
for . successful summer season,
and just as the few people who live
In this vicinity throughout the year
were getting ready to welcome gum
mer visitors, the dam which made
the lake went out"
When II went, II took with II
thousands OF gallons Of water, about
all that gave this community any
right or title to the claim Of being
q summer resort.
Fortunately, the breaking Of the
dam was not accompanied by loss Of
life. but thousands of dollars worth
Of damage was caused to farms and
villages and towns in the valley
nearby.
Boys Go TO Work
The Maryland National Guard
came here for its annual summer
encampment about a week ago. only
to find that the lake which made
its summer 80 enjoyable had trickled
out through the 2O-foot break In the
dam. Now, the guardsmen had
been In the habit OF making their
tour Of camp duty q time OF vaca-
tion and recreation for their wives,
who accompany them to Camp
Ritchie at the lake. But the wives
were sadly disappointed this year,
for there was no lake.
But within q week things VIII be
different. The authorities have been
at work and plans have been com-
pleted for repairing the dam. It
is understood that the engineer
companies at Camp Ritchie win as
sist in its reconstruction.
1t is expected that the work win
be completed within a short time
and Immediately the dam is repaired
the lake viii be re-filled and again
there win be a summer resort here.

construction work. He estimates
that while he may have enough
water In the lake for swimming

less there arc heavy rains.

For many years proprietora OF no
tells and residents of the many cot.
tages at the resorts have been forced
to endure atisfactory service and
this has initiated against the popu-
larity Of the resorts to certain ex'
tent.
Now, however, with solution of
the problem. the hotel owners as
well a6 the cottage owners and rent
ers toresee In the near future a
progressive development OF the sec
ton.
The solution has been reached and
confirmed by the Public Service
Commission OF Maryland in a recent
ruling determining the territories to
be served by the Suburban Electric
Power Company and the Console
dated Gas, Electric Light and Power
Company. of Baltimore, respectively.
Ends Long Conflict
The ruling ends a conflict which
has been going on between the two
corporations for months, and which
in itself was delaying the supplying
of efficient current and power to the
communities affected.
Controversy between the two COM
panies over the "plums" of tha sec
4iom at times involved the residents
and cottagers of the resorts and
townships, and on several occasions
physical clashes were narrowly
averted.
Apparently both the Suburban
and the Consolidated are satisfied
with the ruling Of the commission,
because neither has announced any
intention of appealing.
Stripped OF its legal verbiage, the
ruling means in effect that the
Consolidated Gas. Electric Light
ana Power Company, is to have
the exclusive right to furnish cleo.
trio current and power TO the Sec
tlDn consisting of Chesapeake
Beach. North Beach. and the town
OF Owings.
suburban Gets Rest
On the other hand. the Suburban
company, Is to have the exclusive
PriveIege Of serving power and cur.
rent to all of the rest Of Southern
Maryland, including the dozens OF
resorts In the territory.
The principal clash between the
two companies arose over Which
syas to have the right to serve the
DODulOUD dI1O SEOW4A6 AOSOASS -
Chesapeake and North Beach. This
section was held to be probably the
richest from power .company's
standpoint in Southern Maryland.
The Suburban Company stole
march on it's more powerful COM
petitor and, when It went before
the public service commission
originally for permission to operate,
At was able to show signed con.
tracts with virtually every cottager
and hotel operator Of the com
munity.
But the Consolidated stole a march
on the Suburban and tried to set
uD its poles at the beach. Then
the fun started and residents and
beach authorities ordered the poles
down.
But negotiations proceeded be-
tween the two companies and the,
service commission which resulted
IN the recent order.
Under it, while the residents do
not seem to be going to get service

It seems that all Of the blood
worms used here, and, in fact every
place else in the country, come from
a small section Of Long Island,
N. T., where the aristocratic worm
first settled, and where he has con.
tinued to maintain hiss habitat, de-
spite numerous efforts to trans
plant him. The mud Of Canarsie
was good enough for the bloodworms
ancestors, he maintains, and the
mud of Canarsie = still good enough
for him. Hence the concentration.
Now It seems further, and this is
certainly news to the uninttfated,
that there is group Of men who
specialize in bloodworm digging.
They are a small group, but they
are organized-Wel organized. When
their union found that the demand
for bloodwbrrns was going up with
the good fishing In the Chesapeake
and other nearby waters, they de-
cided that they ought to get more
pay for digging UP the worms.
The bloodworln industry, II il can
be called such, is ruled by one man,

worms for love or money. They
just weren't being dug. And there

this vintage had q apretty easy time

bloodworm luncheons.
Frantic appeals from sportsmen
from this and other sections were
dispatched to King lCathcart to yield
to the demands Of the diggers' union.
He finally did, and simply shifted
the raise in wages that he had to
grant to the price Of the worms.
But even this was better than do

Tibetan Lama.

THE most dificult role Nigel de
Brulier has ever been called upon
to play was in Richard Digs new pic
ture. De Brulier is cast as Tibetan
lama, or high priest. The picture Is
from James Bernard Fagan's play THE
Wheel Of Life
Tibet, the small, mountain-locked
country nestled on the high plateaus
north of the Himalaya Mountains, re-
manned a land of mystery until the
early part of the nineteenth century,
and ever since that time few traveller,
comparatively speaking, have pene-
trated it.
The Tibetan lamas, of the Buddhist
faith, are the supreme rulers of the
country. the control being wholly reii-
gious rather than political. Through
generations and centuries-in fat,
since the sixth century before Christ
they have made superstitious Tibetars
believe that only through earthly per-
lection could they aspire to the various
carnations that lead up to Nirvana.
Buddhist heaven, and the lamas alone
possess the secret of the path.
Because such an exacting perform
ance is demanded of De Brulier as the
lama, he spent weeks in careful re-
search pertaining to his role Much

Colman's Stage Career

THE voice of Ronald Colman, now be-
ing heard through the n1ovietone
film version of Bulldog Drumrnond,"
was heard In several New York theaters
prior to Director Henry Kings discov-
cry of Colman for films That event
transpired at the Empire Theater in
! New York during the Fall of 1922. when
Mr. Colnan was appearing in support
of the late Henry Miller and Ruth Chat
terton in La Tendresse," the play by
Henry Bataille.
Coiunan had the role of Alain Sergyll,
and it is interesting to read in the New
York Times Of Tuesday, September %,
1922, this comment by Alexander Wooll-
colt, then reviewing plays for that news
paper:
Torrance is given by an actor named
Ronald Colman."
{ Mr.. King, the film director, was last
ing The White Sister," which vas to
be made in italy with Lillian Gish as
its star. The director saw Colman in
La Tendresse" and promptly offered
,, him a Job in motion pictures. So II

| America from Europe in 1920, after ex-
perience in British films and theatsrs.
went back to Europe for his first mo-
ton picture assignment from an Amerl-
can company Again, for his next film.
Ronald Colman went to Italy. This
time he was directed by Mr.. King in
"Romola." the perturbation of the
George Eliot classic. Colrnan appeared
as Carlo Bucellini, painter. An actor
who subsequently became one of Col
mans closest frieds appeared as Tito
Melema, and an elderly performer, with
whom Colman later took up lodgings in
California. acted the role of Baldassarre,
the scholar. william Powell was the
Tito and Charles Lane the Baldassarre
Of that production.
Prior to his appearance in La Ten
dresse," Ronald Colman had appeared
on the New York stage in The Night
Bolton. presented at the Thirty-ninth
street Theater on August Is, 1921. He
had the role of Charles. comedy but
| ler-crook. The part of the policeman
was acted by John Wray, who subse-
quently wrote "Nightstick," the play
| from which "Alibi" was made. The
Theater Magazine critic thus comment
| ed on THE Night Cap: Ronald Col
! man and John Wray succeed In making
much of two smaller parts"
On Broadway Mr.. Colman had very
small part in support of Robert Var
wick in THE Dauntless Three" an un-
successful play. The star of Bulldog
| Drummond also acted in the out-of-
town tryouts of Cosmo Hamilton's play,
1.-The Silver Fox" in which Vivienne
i Osborne, william Faversham, Violet
Kemble Cooper and Ian Keith appeared
! at the Maxine Elliott Theater in New
York on September 5, 1921. Colman
had, too, a role in out-of-town produc-
| tons of THE Green Goddess" George
Arliss' play, that had its New York
premiere at the Booth Theater January
| l8, 1921. Finally Colnan went on tour
| in support of Fay BANTER in East Is
West" That tour took him as far West
as Los Angeles. All these theatrical ex-
periences antedated his appearance in
La Tendresse,' which remains his

JUST as unusual camera angles, or
UFA shots, as they we're called, in
recognition of their extensive use by the
German UFA studios, were beginning to
appear acceptable TO the American tech
nieans. the talking films came along
and changed the situation. Because of
the impracticability Of moving the ire
mendous sound-proof camera booths
necessitated by the new development
camera angle shots vanished. One
company brought the mountain to Ma
homet, so to speak, and built angles
into It's sets, photogra phing them with
a straight" camera and achieving the
same effect, but at prodigiously greater
cost in time, trouble and money.
The Pathe company announces now
that unusual camera angles will again
come into play in its sound production
of Paris Bound from the Philip Barry
stage success. The resumption of the
UFh technique is made possible, the
company states. by the perfection OF
sound-proof camera hood which not
only houses the camera but also the
motor that drives It.
