the telephone lines or oil compa- nies.
 That's why they try to regulate 'em rather than to operate 'en.''
 "Of course," Pa Jones granted, T think everybody agrees that utilities, such as telephone and tele- graph, which are naturally mon- opoly, have to be regulated. Be- cause if they have all the business tied up, even if they give good service, they can gouge the public on rates"
 "Yes," insisted John, Jr. "But state regulation hasn't been much good. You know that. That's why they've had to establish a national commission to regulate telephone, telegraph and broadcastinigs.
 They are national, go all over the country, and they have to be regulated on that same basis, es- pecially since holding companies have tied together utilities of many states.
 EQUAL TREATMENT OF ALL
 Furthermore, you're right at least this far: Regulation of one thing does lead to regulation of others, because they compete with one another.
 "It's hardly fair to regulate rail. roads and not buses, barge lines and pipe lines, or even airplanes. It's hardly fair to regulate tele- phone and telegraph lines without regulating radio, which is sending more and more messages by wire less all the time."
 That's all pretty general" said Pa impatiently. What exactly do they intend to do, for instance, in this Federal Communications Com- mission?"
 "Well, for instanace, they're go- ing to see why telephone rates haven't come down as much as most things, whether employees wages were cut while executives continued to get big salaries, just what are all these involved rela- tions between the big American Telephone and Telegraph and the lw'Cruruse, ,ofn theiluerpj
 dozens of little companies it con trols, and whether it's property val nations and charges for deprecia- tion of equipment aren't maybe too high. Those valuations are what rates depend on."

POLI'S

W. c. Fields, Sazu Pitts and Pauline Lord with the welcome ad- dition of Kent Douglas, Evelyn Venable and five clever juveniles, bring back to Polls screen until Tuesday night the most beloved piece of American literature, Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" now made into a marvellous talking picture, which like the book will be remembered long after it is seen.
 They have brought to the screen with a remarkable likeness to the book-and thank goodness for that -as generally there is a radical de- parture, but this film adheres to the story as it was written and is therefore just as good if not greater.
 On the same program there is also the usual carefully assprtment of shorts and these are in keeping with the sterling programs" that are always at this popular theater.
 The mid-week program, We'd nesday, Thursday and Friday brings back to Polls screen for the first time in a long while, Bert Wheeler and Bob Woolsey in ken lucky Kernals' and they have with them one of the biggest little stars of pictures, 'Sparky" Mac Farland and this talented little star will make you enjoy yourself to the fullest. Wheeler and Woolsey have one of their usual comedy pictures with singing and dancing only the consensus of opinion all along the line is that they do a lot better work in this picture than in former ones.
 On the same program there will also be the co-feature Bachelor of Art" with Tom Brown, Anita, Louise and Henry Walthall, here is a picture that rips the veneer of college life and shows that all of the life at seats of learning isn't all rah-rah-rah.
 Poli's is now getting their mid winter program of the best pictures to be had and just as sample of what you may expect at this popular theater in the near future just gaze at this impressive lineup of proven sensational films: Eddie Cantor in "Kid Millions Joe Pen- ner in College Rhythm,' William Beery in "The Mighty Barnum, '' Loretta Young in "The White Pa rade" and Crawford Gable Mont gomery in"Forsaking All Others ' Get on the Poli band wagon for the best in entertainment.

 Now the radio, and telephone and telegraph lines through the Communications Commission.
 And see where Secretary Ickes isn't satisfied with controlling oil through the Oil Administration, but threatens to take over the whole industry for the public.
 "And where Joe Eastman, the co-ordinator of transportation wants to take in all transportation steamships, barge lines, motor trucks, pipelines and airplanes, and regulate 'em under the Inter- State commerce commission along with the railroads.
 There doesn't seem to be any place this government control can stop, once it gets going, does there?"
 OTHER NATIONS OWN LINES
 "Oh, I don't know" reflected John, Jr., Radio is means of communication something like the postoffice, when you come down to it.
 "Fact is, practically all countries own their own telephone and tele- graph lines just like they do the postoffice department. So don't see why we should worry about merely regulating 'em."
 "Yes, know about these Eur. opean telephone and telegraph systems" Pa Jones retorted. "Ber Bunsen, who was in France for the Mammoth Co.,, several years,> told me you're likely. to go crazy trying to get call through on the French government system"
 That's probably one reason why our government hasn't taken over the systems here long ago." John Jr., continued. "You know there was a strong effect to take 'en over after the World War, wher the. government did run 'em fol a while.
 But they do give good service maybe the best in the world. And the oil industry, even if it has beer wasteful, gave us auto owners the best and cheapest gas in the world REGULATION NECESSARY

STRAND

Glamorous romance, beautiful women, whimsical humor and the haunting strains of Franz Lehar's famous music blend into an enter tainment of indescrible charm in "The Merry Widow" at Warmers Strand to-day and tomorrow with Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette Macdonald in the starring roles.
 Chevalier plays a role unlike any he has ever attempted. Gay debonair, singing the Hitting songs, he turn to the dramatic side when the real romance eventuates, giving a splendidly restrained per- formance.
 Miss Macdonald is singularly beautiful in the gorgeous Adrian created gowns, and sings the Lehar music gorgeously. Lu- bitsciTs whimsical humor is ever apparent amid the joyousness of the gays Viennese music and the comically-oneived situations.
 The original Lehar song hits the "Merry Widow Waltz" "vilia." Girls. Girls, Girls" Melody of Laughter" "Widows Are Gay" Tonight Will Teach Me to Forget" I'm Going to Maxims." are al i?sung In the pic- ture.
 Edward Everett Horton as the comical ambassador, appears with Chavelier and Miss Macdonald In many hilarious situations.

STATE

One of the outstanding dramatic triumphs of the year now closing
 is John M. StahPs production of Fannie Hurst's best seller, 'Imita- tionI of Life" which is to be seen
 at Warmers State theater to-day and tomorrow.
 Stahl has long been known as a master in the direction of do- mestic drama, and here he has
 undoubtedly exceeded all his past efforts. This may also be said of the versatile Miss Colbert who delivers in this picture a charac- terization which she has never
 before approached. In moods of gaiety or of tragic drama she is
 equally effective, and at all times altogether charming.
 Warren William is an attractive figure as her lover in the later sequences of the story, and Ned Sparks is his delightful self as the sour-visaged Elmer. Rochelle Hudson and Ferdi Washington
 are pleasing as the two young
 girls in the story, the first as the white daughter of the widowed Miss Colbert, and the latter as
 the mulatto child of Louise Bea- vers. Miss Beavers is excellent in the greatest screen role ever played by a colord person. Of
 the children, three-year-old Baby Jane is revealed as 8 remarkable child actress of definite starring possibilities.
 limitation of Life" perfectly
 directed and playe, is the sort of picture that one expects once in a season, and deals with do-
 mestic problems in a matter
 which is absorbingly interesting The surrounding program in-
 cludes Dizzy and Daffy Dean, stars of the 1894 World Series in a com edy packed with laughs.
