Lon Chaney, who will he remember

“BOBBED HAIR*
If your wife wants to cut her hair,
and you object, take her to see “Bobb
ed Hair,” starring Wanda Hawley,
which is at the Grand theatre Monday
and let her see wbat happened to Miss
Njgjg^
REG US RAT Off
Hawley after she bobbed hers.
If your sweetheart is timid about
cutting her locks, and you think it
would improve her, take her to see
the picture, and let her observe how
fetching are all the acolytes—bobbed
as to both hair and skirts —of the ar
tist colony.
Miss Hawley gives an artistic por
trayal of Polly Heath, the heronie.
William Boyd, a new leading man, is
more than satisfactory as the conven
tional lover and William P. Carleton
is excellent as Paul Lammont, the fu
turist poet who surrounds himself
with young girls, for “inspiration.”
Adele Farrington, Leigh Wyant, Ethel
Wales and several clever children
complete the cast.
“BROADWAY ROSE*
A JOY TO WITNESS
“Broadway Rose,” which will be at
the Grand Theatre Tuesday is sure to
appeal to those who found pleasure in
Miss Murray’s recent productions,
“Peacock Alley” and “Fascination,”
and that means nearly every one who
goes to the movies.
For in “Broadway Rose” Miss Mur
ray has an interesting story giving
her a role which affords every oppor
tunity for the unusual ability which
ha£ made her recent pictures a joy to
see. In the present picture she is a
country girl who has won the favor of
Broadway by her ability as a dancer.
She loves Hugh Thompson, the son of
wealthy Fifth Avenue parents who are
bitterly opposed to his infatuation.
Seeking only happiness for herself
and the man she loves, she consents
to a secret marriage in order to avoid
an open break between Hugh and his
family. But they discover the facts,
and are relentless in the determina
tion that their son’s life shall not be
ruined by such an alliance. The com
plications which ensue bring Rosalie
very near to disaster, but in the end
she finds real happiness.
POVERTY OF RICHES
“Poverty of Riches,” by Leroy
Scott, a Goldwyn picture coming to
the Grand Theatre, for Saturday is a
simple story exposing and contrasting
the lives of two families, life-long
friends, in their happiness. The one
seeks it through a happy home life,
children, modest pleasures and perfect
understanding between husband and
wife. The other family chooses the
path of financial power, refuse to have
children though both young people are
fond of them.
How these two families meet the
tests life puts them to is a sermon in
pictures on the joys of the simple
natural manner of living.
In the cast are such sterling play
ers as Leatrice Joy, Louise Lovely,
Irene Rich, Richard Dix, John Bow
ers, Dave Winter, John Cossar, and
a host of adorable children.
“BOUGHT AND PAID FOR*
Maintaining that the story is the
important thing and that the pictorial
side of the photoplay must always be
/subordinated to the story, William de
Mille the famous Paramount producer
whose latest production, “Bought and
Paid For.” featuring Agnes Ayres and
Jack Holt, popular stars, comas to the
Grand threater next Thursday, sounds
a note of warning against subordinat
ing drama to mere photograohy.
“The story is the vital thing in the
photoplay.” Mr. de Mille declared.
“The picture must always be subordi
nated to the drama. I believod thus
years ago when I directed my first pic
ture ‘The Ragamuffin.’ Judged by pres
ent day standards that was an exceed
ingly crude photoplay. But the
basic qualities that I demanded then
are just as much present in ‘Bought
and Paid For,’ my present production.
Mr. de Mille’s theory is admirably
expressed In “Bought and Paid For”
the result being a photoplay of charm
beauty and appeal. Miss Ayres and
Mr. Holt are finely cast and the sup
port includes among others, Walter
Hiers, Leah Wyant, Ethel Wales,
George Kuwa and Bernice Frank.

Central Railway
Tells How Their
Dollar Is Spent
Savannah, Ga , Feb. 20—1 he price
;i a ticket from Savannah to Pin* ora
Georgia on the Central of Georgia, is
SI.OO The freight on half a ton of
fertilizer between Macon and Wadlny,
Georgia (84 miles) is SI.OO. Tho
freight on a ton of bricks from Colum
bus, Georgia to Montgomery, Albania
(95 miles) is SI.OO. When a patron of
the railroad pays his dollar for trans
portation, freight or passenger, ho has
a right to know how it is spent. lie
should take an interest in this matter
becaue extravanagance and unwise ex
penditures increase the cost of trans
portation to the consumer and are
against the public welfare.
Railroad accounts are carefully kept
under the supervision of the United
States Government. The Central of
Georgia knows just where each dol
lar goes and how it is divided. We are
glad to pass this information on to
our patrons and the general public.
Here is where the 1923 dollar went
The largest single item of expense is
train, station and switching opera
tions, and other transportation service
for which 28.12 cents out of each dol
lar is expended.. In order to provide
good service, all equipment must be
kept in first-class condition. Main
tenance of locomotives, freight and
passenger cars, and other equipment
required 18.02 cents of each dollar.
Another essential of good service and
safety is the proper maintenance of
tracks, roadbeds, buildings, bridges,
and other structures for which of
every dollar 12.15 cents was spent last
year. The fuel to run trains is a large
item in the cost of operating a rail
way, and required 7.47 cents from each
dollar. In operating a railroad it
is necessary to rent certain equipment
and property. It is sometimes ad
vantageous to lease lines and it is
advisable to make use of facilities,
jointly owned with other railroads, or
by terminal companies. For such ex
penses the Central of Georgia paid out
3.16 cents for each dollar. Provision
must be made for the retirement of
old equipment and allowance for de
preciation on that in use. This item
amounted in 1923 to 2.32 cents of hte
dollar.
The above items have to do with the
operation of the railroad. There are
certain other necessary expenses in
cident to good service. For the ac
commodation of the public, traffic
agencies are maintained, tariffs giving
information as to rates are compiled
and issued, and these, together with
miscellaneous traffic expenses, ac
count for 3.04 cents out of each dol
lar. Expenditures for dining car ser
vice for the accommodation of our pat
rons amounted to .41 of one cent.
The clerks and other general office
employes in the various departments
received as compensation 2.0 i cents
of each dollar.
There is perhaps a popular miscon
ception that general officers oi a rail
way company receive high salaries. As
a matter of fact, the general offices
of most railways are not compensated
to the same extent as men of like re
sponsibilities and attainments in oth
er industries. The general offices of
the Central of Georgia in 1923 receiv
ed less than one-half cent of each dol
lar spent by the railway—to be exact
.47 of a cent.
Miscellaneous general expenses ac
count for a little more than one-half
cent of the dollar—.ss of a cent.
There are certain legal expenses
and costs connected with litigation
necessary to the operation of a rail
road. For these last year the Central
of Georgia spent .41 of a cent from
each dollar.
From the very nature of the busi
ness certain sums must be paid out
annually for loss, damage and casual
ties, such as fires. Many of these ex
penses are entirely beyond the con
trol of the railroad company for in
stance, grade crossing accidents.
These items cost the Central of
Georgia 1.94 cents last year.
The Central cf Georgia maintains a
pension department which makes pro
i vision for the comfort in old age of
faithful employes who have spent their
lives in the service. For this purpose
.13 of a cent of the dollar went.
It is well understood that a railway
eannct provide for the transportation
needs of its territory from current in
come, but that large sums must be
secured by borrowing money by issu
ing bonds and by other financial mea
sures necessary for additions and
betterments to the property. 9.43 cents
of each dollar for this purpose last
year.
Few people realize the extent of
tax payments made by the railways.
In 1923 out of each dollar expended by
the Central of Georgia, 4.33 cents
went for taxes.
It is signifnnt that the tax pay
ments exceeded dividend payments,
since dividend on capital stock re
quired but 4.19 cents out of each dol
lar.
All of these items amounted to 98.21
cents, leaving a balance available for
enlarging and improving the property
of 1.79 cents.
