Incidentally, the 1885 Monday

playgoers is not as demonstartive
as those of our forefatherS. For
instance, here's little paragraph
from the Nationals authorized his
tory describing an opening night
on July 6, 1910:
"On Monday, July 6, 1910, the
city was electrified by that grace
full gOdGeSS, Fanny ESsler, the
most famous danSeuse on the
globe. She literally turned the
heads of her audience by the
lOveliness of her undraped limbs,
and magnetized them by her
exquisite poetry of motion; the
audience seemed to have been
changed by her Circean power
into shouting lunaticS, and The
New National Theater was the
scene of wild and extravagant
actiOn-men and women Wed
with each other in cheering,
gentlemen hurled their watch
chains and rings on the stage,
and the fair sex stripped their
arms of their bracelets and fol
lowed suit, until the stage floor
cleaned with jewels at the feet
of the adorable ESSIer, who stood
a veritable Danae in this shower
of gold"
Proving that the undraped form
had stage allure as far back as
1840, that delirious Garbo, Robert
Taylor and Fred Astaire fans are
not as mad as their great-great
grandfathers.

on January /, and his new pic
ture, 'Maytime," in which he CO.
stars with Jeanette Macdonald,
is being held up for a rewrite
job which will take about six
weeks. So the rub is, how to rush
him through. The New York
critics are being very cheering
about the opening of "Dods-
worth" They credit the colossal
rush to the box office completely
to Mary Astor'S glamor, possibly
aided somewhat by her literary
efforts.
Nice to know that Phyllis Dob.

Atlantic City Pageant de Beaute,
is now under contract to Univer.

date, and it hasn't been put in
general release as yet, it has gar
nered back more than three-quar-
ters of the original cost. On the
island of Java, for example, it
has played in almost every theater
there, as many as five or six
times, and at road-show advanced
prices.
In the same epic, Olivia de
Haviland, Anita Louise, Ross
Alexander, Ian Hunter and Frank
McHugh all enhanced their
careers so they are notcheS nearer
stardom since doing it.
Harpo Marx recently observed
a painting of a harpist and dis
covered to his horror that, dur
ing all these years, he has been
holding his harp against the
wrong shoulder and playing it
backward. which reminds one
that another member of the mad
Marxes, Groucho, abandoned
crepe muStacheS in favor of
painted ones because every time
he lit his cigar, which is an i'm
portant part of his comedy rou-
tine, his beaver took flame instead
of his Stogie.
BY the bye, the Marxonians, in
their new picture, "A Day at the
Races" have added Esther Muir
to chase all over the place, only
she is now referred to as Sloucho.

Spencer Tracy will burst into

are exactly 1856 major scenes, in

The most expensive political
campaign in the nations history
comes to an end next Tuesday.
More money will have been spent
BY both parties in the National,
Senatorial, Congressional, state and
local campaigns than ever before.
That is not to imply that there
is anything improper in the spend
ing of money by political organi-
cations for election purposes. 1t
costs money to pay the expenses of
speakers, to pay for advertising in
newspapers and On billboards, to
buy time on the air, to print book
lets, circulars and badges by the
tens of millions, and to pay the
wages of employees.
All of these expenses so far as
they relate to national offices,
Presidential, Senatorial or Congress
%sional, are required to be reported
to the proper officials in Washing
ton in detail, and particular pains
are taken to scrutinize them with
great care and frequently to in
vestigate them afterward. Since the
passage of the corrupt practices
act, more than 20 years ago, in
stances have been very are of i'm
proper or fraudulent use Of money
in elections for such purposes as
bribing voters OF concealing the
expenditure of campaign funds.
Practically all of the states re-
quire reports of campaign expendi-
lures made on behalf of state,
county and municipal officers, SC
that it is increasingly difficult for
any party, however we'll organized
and financed, to buy an election.
There is nothing shocking, there
fore, in the fact that this years
political campaigners, taken alto
gether, will run to around $751;
100000.

Outlook Is Promising

months and indications of continu-
ing good business, coupled with
several other factors that have
contributed to the conpany's sue
cess, have enabled the Duke Power
company to effect a new annual
saving of $1,100,000 to its custom
ers in the Carolinas through a re-
duction in electric and gas rates,
Duke officials announced Wednes-
day.
1t was the second reduction of
rates by the Duke company during
1886 and the savings to customers
within the past four years through
reductions in rates have totaled
nearly $5,O00,O00, the figures dis
close.
Another factor, it was pointed
out, was the ability of the company
to refinance its bonded indebted
ness and thereby effect a reduction
in its fixed charges.
Since 1882, it was pointed out,
the Duke Power company has con-
sistently reduced the rates on its
electric and gas rates.
From Raleigh Commissioner
Wineborne announced the reduced
rates would become effective ION
meter reading" throughout the
Duke company's territory after
Sunday, November 1.
North Carolina customers of the
company will get the benefit Of
about $4,000 Of the total reduc-
ton, said Commissioner Wineborne.
The company is the largest in the
State, serving Charlotte, Green's
boro, Winston-Salem and most of
the territory between Durham on
the east and Shelby on the west.
In May the Duke company filed
its 1885 annual report showing net
income for the year of $3,61S,239,
nearly double the 1884 net of ST.
944,O64. The company had gross
1885 revenue of $21,829,S89.
The new reduction gives an ag-
gregate annual savings of $174,000
to residential electric customers
and $4,000 to small commercial
users" Textile rates were cut an
aggregate estimated at 100000
annually, municipal service $685.
O0O0, industrial power 100000,
and small power users $4,000. Gas
users got reductions totaling $62,-
900.
Under the present rates, resi-
dental users pay 80 cents for the
first 10 kilowatt hours, five cents
each for the next 20, four cents
each for the next 20, three cents
each for. the next so and 2 IL
cents each for all over 100.
The initial rate will remain the
same, as we'll the rate for the next
20 kilowatt hours, but the next 20
will be at ; IL cents each and all
over so at 2 II cents each.
A comparison shows that new
and old bills will run the same for
10, 20 and 80 kilowatt hour users
but a 4O-kilowatt hour user who
has been paying $40 monthly
will hereafter pay only $2.15. A
5o-kwh user will pay $3.50 instead
og $3.50, a 60-kwh bill will be
$2.7S instead of $3.50, etc.
The commercial users Of between
10 and 1000 kilowatt hours will
benefit mostly from the reductions
in that class. The first 10 kwhs
will cost the same as now, 80 cents,
but the next go will cost only AZ
instead of five cents, the next 400
kwhs four cents where now the
next 800 costs Az, and the next
