6 HIE OREGON STATESMAN, SALOEOKEGOtf FRIDAY MOfeNING, NOVEMBER 2, 1923 The "Way' of the Transgressor' vAn Oregon Production . "The. Way of the Transgressor" at the Bligh theater today is a story of strong emotions and the underworld, .rfts scenes being laid In the haunts of crime and. the parlors of society. To those who enjoy the thrills which can be found only in what must frankly be termed as melodrama, this clo ture , will, provide - wonderful en tertainment.1 The direction is ex cellent, and it is apparent, at all times, that every effort has. been ,made' to faithfully reproduce the real . atmosphere connected with each situation. This is a fast ac tion picture from start to finish sand offers many thrills such as j two runaway motor boats, a really I fierce fight, one of the roughest j con f licts between, two : men ever caught by the camera, and. the rescue of the heroine, just as she Is about to be abducted. j One of the most notable- casts that has ever, graced a motion pic- ture will be Been tonight at the 3 Grand ' theater, when ' Potash- and Perlmutter,", a First National pic f ture produced , by Samuel Goldwyn ; will be shown. It is conceded to ; be one of the most important as ; semblages of dramatic personal i ities ever gathered for a fine pro- duction. ; i ' i ..' A-T. ' Not content with securing most of the favored members of the or- ; lglnal stage production headed' by Alexander Carr and Barney Ber nard! the co-stars. Mr. Goldwyn signed up Vera Gordon and Lee Kohlmar, two celebrities, in addi tion.; -- s ' . : Carr and Bernard play their or iginal parts, a Mawruss. Perlmut ter and Abe "Potash, and Vera Gor don, who attained instant fame in "Humoresque, is cast as Rosie Potash, .y This is the first real camera experience of Carr' and Bernard, and ".. previous ' to ;' the shooting ; of the film Director Clarence Badger , , experimented with the two stars, until they were as at heme in the studio as on the stage. . These popular pjayers have , in their support Hope. Sutherland.; a talented recruit from the . speak . ins stage; juartna juansneid, a featured player for many years; Esn i Lyons, who , has .won . his spurs on- Broadway; kand Adolph inller, Eduard Durand and Bar low Borland. In addition many professional clothing models will be seen on the screen. ; Thrills pile on thrills," laughs pue ': on laughs and: romance glows warmt in, Harry Carey's lat est and greatest starring vehicle "Canyon ' of -.the-;, Foola" just re leased by, F.B.O. amtnow showlns at the-Liberty. theater. Based on Richard Matthews Ilallet's great nevel of the west, a country the . author, knows inti mately from .long residence and study, ''Canyon of the Fools" makes an admirable vehicle for the virile and red-blooded Carey. It makes na,, pretensions at art but Is a smash-bang, walloping tale that win get under the skin of every lover, of thrilling screen stories. Carey, as usual, has ai hard, time U winning his way to the height but win he doe in most approved, fashion. V. -v. 5 Among the big scenes, develop ed "With stunning realism by Di rector Val Paul, is a machine gun duel, and. dam break; which-results in devastating floods. Then, too, the romance, resulting r from the friendship between Boh' (Har ry Carey) and '" May ,1 (Marguerite Clayton) adds a delightful touch to the. story. .The cast includes besides the following well known players: Fred Stanton, Joseph Harris, Jack Curtis, Charles J, LeMoine, Veater Pegg, Murdock MacQuarrle and Mlgnonne Gold en. : - ; STELLAR KW The scientific world is divided into two camps, widely ; opposed and ready each to- do battle for its convictions.! . ...:! The break came in connection with the recent announcement, whose source Is shrouded In im penetrable mystery, but which states in definite manner that DONT SUFFER WITH j. " RHEUMATISM or NEURITIS ..

The: hearing of the matter of the petition of the Portland Rail way, Light A Power company, for an increase in its gas rates in Sa lem was completed last evening. W. M, Hamilton, Salem manager for the company, said last even ing: ! .-; d : : m'. "This morning's Statesman 'con tains a story purporting to Indi cate that the gas company! in Sa lem does, not want more business and' does not want to extend 4ts service and- improve - its plant. "This story' was evidently ob tained by .The Statesman from some one who saw fit to tell the reporter only hair of the evidence presented. "To tell only a half truth is sometimes as misleading , as a false -statement. "The full truth of the matter is that the company does not want more business and does not want to spend more money or to extend its service PROVIDED, and ONLY provided, that such t4ditJonal business will not earn a,' reason able return oit the - investment. - "It stands td reason that ,lf such business WTLC pay a reas onable return thaithe company WILL and DOES want It, and WILL make such extensions as are needed to supply such ad ditional business as is justified by the revenue to be derived from same. "Testimony was presented at the Hearing which The Statesman did NOT report, to the effect that since the present company pur chased the gas plant in 1907 to 1923 that the operating expenses and taxes alone had exceeded the gross Income or . revenues by SHOO., .i...'"..' "Furthermore, notwithstanding that the stockholders had to make up the above loss out" of their pockets, the company spent in the MEANTIME $135,000 for exten sions to its mains, and additional and - new equipment and machin ery at its plant. : , "Does that Indicate that the company has been , niggardly in Its policy of expansion and exten sion? ' "Does it indicate that it has not fulfilled Its obligations to the Community as a public utility? "'The testimony also showed that PRIOR to 1917 the company HAD actively: solicited business and - made extensions wherever J WiHacette Yallfiy ( Transfer Co.

"Was? itK "therefore, unreason able or unjustifiable that after the 10 years- above- mentioned that the company- should stop . Its solicitation of business when ;It was shown that the operating ex penses and taxes were still in ex cess of the gross revenues? . "HOWEVER, although the com pany DID stop the active solicita tion of business in 1917 by doing away with an outside salesman, solicitation of business was still pursued by the store salesmen in their efforts to sell gas ranges and water heaters whenever the opportunity offered. j j i Furthermore, whenever, requested- to do so,- the company continued to make extension of gas mains at its own expense, provided the cost of same was not in excess of two years gross revenue from the business to be obtained. "The liberality of this ' policy can best be judged when it is re membered that it was an out-and out payment .on the part of the company stockholders, since such additional business, together with the existing business was not earning anything over expenses out of which might be paid kt least a portion of -the cost of ex tending the mains." j j i According to Thursday's Cap! tat (Journal Ray L. Smith, city attorney, who is representing the city in the hearing, charged that the policy of the company has al ways been one of developing the electrical business at the expense of the gas utility. I Mr. Hamilton,- . when on the witness stand, (emphatically de nied this accusation and says that he challenges anyone to prove such a policy existed. ' j ; Mr. Hamilton testified under oath that for 10 years from 1907 to 1917, that the policy of the company, expressed through him self, had been , to FAVOR the gas utility as against the electric utility whenever they came into competition with each other, and he offered to produce witnesses! to prove hs statement. j : Since 1917 the policy has been one of neutrality between the gas and electric litlllties, according! to Mr. Hamilton's testimony, due to the fact that it seemed useless! to PUSH the gas ; department any longer, in view of the absence! of any return on the investment af ter 10 years of i earnest effort! to make it pay such a return.
