Beginning Sunday afternoon, seven!
new vaudeville attractions will be pre
sented on the double-headline bill,

with Harry Mason and Ins players, in
which Mr. Mason is featured as a He
brew peddler.
Mason is one of America s leading
portrayers of Hebrew character as it
realty is, and his latest three-scene
playlet is an unusual vaudeville offer
ing showing five characters. The ped
dler's son, Abe, wants to be a prize
fighter so that he can make enough
money to send his sister to college, but
the old pedler objects and, after
much persuasion from daughter and
son, he allowB tho son to fight. The
playlet is brim full of exciting situa
tions, is interesting and cleverly enact
ed by a capable company.
Bud Snyder, "The King of Sensa
tions," and his company make a trio of
thrill and fun producers of the kind
that theatre goers do not often see.
One minute you hold your breath at a
darink trick, and tho next minute you
laugh at the funny antics of his two
fellow workers.
Harry Gerald and Clara West, in their
"Breeze From Musical Comedy" skit,

vivacious mannerisms.

I throughout is produced in a most pleas
ing manner.

STATE PUBLIC UTILITY
Object to Valuations Placed
On Railroads by Inter
State Commission
(By United Press.)
Washington, Feb. 11. State public
utilities commissions are going to
establish a Lookout Bureau at Wash
ington to keep close watch on develop
ments in the valuations placed on rail
roads by the interstate commerce com
mission. Commissioners of state public ser
vice commissions in attendance at the
interstate commerce commission's hear
ings are sponsors for tho lookout bu
reau. After presenting their argueuts
to the commission as to the method of
conducting valuation proceedings, the
commissioners expressed fear that
methods unfavorable to them will be
used.
One fear of the state commissioners
is t.iat the real estate of railroads,
terminals and rights of way, will be
appraised at condemnation value. This
nuum mane a uincrence of $8,000,000,
000 over the valuations as made by
state commissions.
Some of the commissioners in at
tendance at the valuation hearings ex
press fear that the interstate commis
sion is hazy on the suhiect f ,.i.
tion. Only two members, they allege,
have had experience in valuation eases.

If tin valuation is ma.lo the railroads

the instance of terminal and right-of-way
property there would be a lnrge

was acquired.
Tnc state commissioners say that
nine attention has been paid by the in
terstate couimission to the original cost
side of the proposition because of the
difficulty of determining original costs
or original values. Several stute com
missions have given much consideration
to the original cost question.

Effort to Put Him Iut of Ama
teur Class Hotly Resented
by Friends
New York, Feb. 11. The future in
Tennis of Maurice McLoughlin, former
national champion, and Tom Bundy, his
partner in doubles, will probably be
determined before nightfall by the ex
ecutive committee of the United tSates
National Lawn Tennis association
which began the 35th annual meeting
of tue organization. The committee j
will decide whether to declare the two
Calif ornians professionals because they
have gone into tho sporting goods busi
ness 111 uob Angeles. -
Robert D. Wrenn, retiring president,
is already declared to be on record in
favor of depriving the two players of
their amateur standing on the ground
that they are "capitalizing their ten
nis skill." George Adee, the uew pres
ident, entertains the same views, it is
understood.
Considerable re.il importance attaches
to the action of the board, inasmuch as
the California tennis players are said
to be solidly back of McLoughlin and
Bundy. Inasmuch as the country's best
iprafyers live in California, including
the national singles and doubles cham
pions, and the runners-up in both class
es, the committee is expected to con
sider the views of these men.

"McLoughlin has done more than anv
other man for tennis in the United
States. He was a popular national
cnampion and l don't believe that en

"If the professionalism charges car
