"Playthings of Passion" is Kitty
Gordon's latest screen play in which
that popular star comes to the Globe
theatre. Miss Gordon's latest offer
ing is a brand new story from the
pen of William Anthony Mcclure,
and is said to present not only a
startling story but to afford Miss
Gordon abundant opportunity for a
display of many thousand dollars
worth of stunning gowns, exquisite
iewelry and luxurious millinery One
rope of pearls alone in the picture is
said to have cost Miss Gordon $780,
600.
Miss Gordon enacts the role of a
young favorite of fashion, who finds
life empty, despite her riches, and
seeks idle diversion in tenement Wis
ting. What happens to her there
forms the thread of the powerful
story and is said to lead to a strik-
ing climax, and a announcement
which stamps "Playthings Of Pas
SION as perhaps the most remarkable
screen vehicle of the year.

Few Now Search FOR Gold.

With the exception of the years of
1919 and 1916, when discoveries of
tungsten brought a horde of wealth
seekers to the Colorado hills, the
search for gold has steadily dimin-
ished since the gold rush % years ago.
At that time, old mining men say, the
mountains were full of prospcctors
searching for new veins and placer
deposits. The new generation has not
followed in the footsteps of the old
and one of the picturesque features
Of Western life is becoming extinct.

Bronx Gas Rate Argued

Supreme Court Justice George v
Mullan listened to arguments yester-
day as to what the gas rate in The
Bronx should be in the future. The
matter came before him in the form of
motion by The Bronx Gas and Elec-
trio Company for preliminary injunc-
tion to enjoin the Public Service Com
mission, District Attorney Martin, of
Bronx County, and Attorney General
Newton from enforcing the statute
fixing the maximum rate for gas at 81
per thousand cubic feet.
The company, besides seeking to en-
join the county officials, also asks that
it be not interfered with in its an
nounced intention of fixing the rate at
$3.50 per thousand cubic feet.
Justice Mullan reserved his decision
after directing the representatives of
both sides to present all papers in the
case not later than Monday next.

"Come-On Charley" Has
All the ComDlications

"Come-On Charley" labelled fable,
by George V. Hobart, opened at the
Forty-eighth Street Theatre last night.
1T Is dream play with more COM
ploxes than the league of nations. Be
ginning in q lawyers office, it rambles
to Stamford, Conn; backs I'D to a
broadway hotel, digresses into q
haunted house in the country, and re-
turns to rude awakening in the law
ycr's Office. Into these environs are in
troduced the most extraordinary con-
gregatIon of characters seen in many q
season.

mote as Shanghai) dies and leaves a
legacy of 100000 The attorney to
whom the legacy is intrusted has a

MIN to multiply it. Charley is no pi1er
Within three weeks he has turned the
trick, not by one trick alone, but by a
grand slam.
Charley uses up nearly all the meth
DDS known to the stage of getting rich
quick He backs a broken down in
ventor, plays the stock market, re-
covers the worlds largest ruby from
passel of crooks and even beats the
she'll game. BY his seeming nno-
cence and readiness to part with his
money he camouAages his native COM
mon sense. In play that is riot Of
unrealities Charley is real. To what
extent this is due to the fine comedy
sense of Lynne Overman it would be
difficult to determine. With thin
physique, thin voice and stage pres
ence so quiet that he accentuated the
loudness of the rest of the cast, he
made his lightcst points with sure
ness that marked him as a comedian
to be remembered.
