Plant Addition To
Service Trucks Put
In Use By Bice Line

Bice Truck Lines, a Laurel firm
transporting petroleum products,
recently completed and put into
use a shop addition to its plant
and office headquarters at 305
East Main street. The addition is
constructed and equipped to stimuli
t~aneously and completely service
two units of the firms fleet of
tankers. The floor dimensions are
40 by 80 feet.
Included in the construction were
two full-length pits, over which
power and trailer units may be
placed for service and repair of
their under-carriages. Lubricating
greases are supplied under great
pressure by permanent installa-
tions. Crankcases of the truck en-
gines require IL gallons of oil
when maintenance schedules indi-
cate an oil change is due.
j. w. Fry, member of the firm,
pointed to a recently commissioned
tanker that transports hot road
oil, one of the products of the
Laurel refinery. The power unit
and tank, with trailer attached,
can haul 5000 gallons of oil a
distance of 400 miles with but
slight loss of temperature. Some
of the distant deliveries are made
to Idaho. When the load is taken
for transport the oil is at about
ATS degrees Fahrenheit, and when
it is delivered after 400 miles it
is at about 400 degrees. Reduc-
ton of the heat loss is accounted
for by heavy insulation of the
storage.

practices burglary as an avocation;
a naughty dame who really has
a yen for masterful men regardless
of social class, and a dull husband

elderly clinging wife.
With the exception of the pain

dreamers as sheer comedy charac-
tiers.
Aherne's man, and his wife
played by Miss Craig, are the

Aurora Bautista, who is de-
scribed by her friends and press
agents as the first lady of the
Spanish stage, has role worthy
of her eminence in Madness of
Love-" which turned up yesterday
to confront Plaza Theater audi
ences. Madness of Love" has the
air of an epic about it and i'm
pressively purports to be slice of
18th century Spanish history, a
claim which will get it no argu-
ments around here. where less is
known about Spanish history than
about almost anything. Miss Bau-
tista has chosen to make her mo-
ton picture debut playing a Span
ish queen who won the title of
Dona Juana the Mad and she
goes to great lengths to show how
this came about.
The Spanish movie industry,
you may as well know right away,
has discovered the f1ashback and
is not above using it. A young
King named Don Carlos turns up
at his mothers castle, is startled
to find her off her rocker and
then is told by an old royal re-
tainer how it all happened, this
new King of Spain apparently not
knowing any more about Spanish
history than some other people. 1t
takes the loyal Captain Don AL
var nearly two hours to bring Don
Carlos up to date, as things work
out in the Plaza's film, but he can
hardly be blamed. There was in
trigue what was intrigue back in
those days.
The first f1ashback-if you'll
just sit quietly we'll try to work
this thing out-finds Dona Juana
far from mad. She is happily
married to Don Felipe the Hand

It also has been part and parcel
of the drama long enough to have
demonstrated itself to be pretty
much of a delight to those with a
turn for fantasy.
The manner of it's playing by
Aherne and his colleagues be-
speaks more of an admiration for.
than an Indulgence toward, Sir
James judgment that people are
wistful and funny. They conjec-
ture entertainingly with him on
what a variety of humans-even
as you and might be like if
they had second chance.
1t is not, of course, the usual
thing one encounters in summer
theater. It may even be that it is
offered on the theory that lot of
drama lovers are weary of the
usual thing in summer theater.
Far less commendable logic has
been visible in the selection Of
plays.

"Dear Brutus," which antedates
yesterday and indicates man has
had q continuity that goes back
farther than even Sir James M.
Barrie. is an innocent-hearted
play. It's modest author in nowise
fancied he was revealing a new
truth to the world. In his pleasant
way, he simply grew impatient
one day with people wishing they
had a second chance. He wrote
Dear Brutus" to convince a few
Of them that they would repeat
their original follies and that
these were superior to their
dreams of might have BEEN"
This kind of mental exercise is
not fashionable among contempt
rary dramatistS, but Sir James was
good at it.
He dreamed up a magic forest
into which he could send people
and where they could life for
while with THEIR dreams. They
could have a go at whatever it
was they would do if they had an
other chance. After having given
that a whirl, they could come out
of the woods and take another
look at existence and see what was
needed to make it better.
Naturally, this is most unlikely
IN real life but this may well be
one of the things that most seri-
ously needs correction.

Being a disciplined playwright

James limited himself in the num-

theory.
An artist himself, the author
Of Dear Brutus" makes his prin-

this instance a painter. These are

Aherne amply proves. but the
others are quite reasonably chosen.
They are a man who thinks of

Queen against each other and is a

often that everybody finally be-

Now, let's see. Dona Juana Is in
