This bulletin gives a summary Of cases started, progress of others and many items of interest relative to railroad matters, which information we should have at the earliest possible date. No other agency of which we are aware furnishes similar service. “The $1,000 item above referred to was reduced by the legislature to $500 annually—fair enough under present circumstances. That amount probably would have retained some of the ad-/ vantages of Mr. Benton's office. How- ever, the governor vetoed the amount entirely. That, in and of itself, is a severe blow at freight rate regulation in this state. The fact that we were able to call upon that office often saved railroad fare enough to more than offset the amount contributed! for the maintenance of the office. “The veto of the appropriation for the traffic expert and the Ws Office of this commission will effect a saving (?) of $3,380.00 annually, but will absolutely cripple the freight rate | department, and beyond doubt result; in hundreds of thousands of dollars increase in freight bills paid by resi- dents of the state.

The role which Miss Cornell played on the stage is filled in the talking picture version by Joan Barry, known as. the most beautiful blonde in England, and the cast includes a number of well known Continental players, “The Outsider” is said to present a distinct departure from the usual tri- | engle drama, although its chief pro- | tagonist is a woman torn between two | loves. The unique aspect of the pres- | ent story lies in the fact that only is! the audience kept in a quandry as to which man the girl rezlly loves, but the plot motivation is so ingeniously | drawn that the heroine herself is forced to undergo a tremendous emo- tional experience before she can de- ‘cide which of the two men who pre- eo to love her. is the liar and which ‘The action of “The Outsider” is laid London and encompasses a variety scenes, \ding a festive sequence takes’ place in a smart night on New Year's Eve, and an amus- } and Maxwell Anderson.

Edmund Lowe and Victor McLaglen, who have made Quirt and Flagg world-famous, appear as the lovable scallawags. They discard their marine uniforms and, in evening clothes, pre- side merrily over gay night clubs. The exotic and dynamic Lupe Velez Portrays the leading feminine role, and a feature of the production is her singing and her alluring dancing one of the night clubs. She is ab- sisted by a chorus of beauties that must certainly have been hand picked. El Brendel’s delightful comedy adds much to the entertainment of the Production. Lilian BATTLE IS ON! SNORE NT.
