From Broadway
to London Goes
Miss Millions
English Producer Taking Musica
Play Company and Production
at Punch and Judy.

Charles Cochrane, English producer ha.
arranged with r. II. Burnside for the i'm.
mediate production in London of Miss
Millions the new Burnside-H
musical comedy now at the Punch and
Judy. Accordingly. this will be its last
week in America, and Mr.. Cochrane ar.
ranged yesterday to ship the production
to London on board the Cedric. January
p. and open at the Oxford Theatre there
abcut February 2. The company now play.
ing at the Punch and Judy, with few
exceptions, will be taken abroad, as will
the entire American chorus.
The offer from London was accepted by
Mr. Burnside principally because of his
inability to get larger theatre for miss
Millions in New York. Originally, he
had taken the Punch and Judy Theatre
over from, Charles Hopkins to present @
small and intimate revue, but when his
musical comedy found itself without q
metropolitan home just previous to the
holidays he concluded TO bring it into tha
little playhouse notwithstanding its limi
tatons. When Mr.. Cochrane saw its pre-
sentation last week he persuaded Mr.
Burnside TO send the production to the
oxford at once.

1.-The Passion Flower presented last
night at the Greenwich Village Theatre. is
a dilatory topsy-turvy tragedy. from the
Spanish of Jacinto Benevente. The play
deals with a chain of untoward incidents
in a primitive community Of the Spanish
countryside.
There are murders and mystery with
its suspense propped up in the most ap-
proved fashion for time. This is of slight
interest, however. and had but little dra-
matte effect because the motive, though
scarcely eligible to the American stage,
came from a novel sex complication which
really robbed the nelodramatic action of
the play of its claims to comparative i'm
portance. You could not help but feel,

local color and character study.

last act. Now. this was heavy business,

GETHSEMANE

In golden youth, when seems the
earth
A summer land OF singing mirth,
When souls are glad and hearts are
light
And not shadow turks in sight,
We do not know it, but there lies
Yelled somewhere under evening
skies
A garden which we all must see
The Garden of Gethsemane.
With joyous steps we 60 our ways;
Love lends halo to our days;
Light sorrows sail like clouds afar :
We laugh and say how strong we are;
We hurry on, and, hurrying, go
Close to the border land Of woe
That waits for you and waits for me
Forever waits Gethsemane.
Down shadowy lanes, across strange
streams,
Bridged over by our broken dreams
Behind the misty cape Of years,
Beyond the great salt fount of tear'
The Garden lies. Strive as we may
We cannot miss 1t in our way;
All paths that have been or shall b
Pass somewhere through Gethsemane
All those who journey, soon or late
J Must pass within the garden gate
! Must meet alone the darkness ther
And battle with some fierce despair
, God pity those who cannot say,
. mot mine,' but thine who onl
pray,
: Let this cup pass" and cannot see
3 The purpose in Gethsemane.

FLORIDA HAS FEW
WASTE PRODUCT
(rampa Times)

(Tampa Times)
A few weeks since we asserted in
the editorial columns Of The Times
that Florida had no waste lands, an
assertion which several state papers
were kind enough to copy approving.
iy' In view of the the numerous
stories that are coming to our table
daily of the utilization of Florida pro-
ducts that have always been consid.
cred pure waste. we are tempted to
amend our headline, and assert that
Florida has no waste products.
Formerly there used to be much
waste around our citrus packing
houses and truck farms. That waste
is now being converted into delicious
marmalades and shipped far and
wide. The wastage Of the truck farms
is now being taken up by the can
ming girls and the canning factories
and stored against the season ol
scarcity.
Another source Of potential wealth
has been found in Florida. BY thu
way, these finds are becoming 81
common that it is difficult for tn,
chroniclear to keep up with them
First it was sawgrass for the makinl
of paper, then it was pine stumps O
which Florida possesses untold mil
lions, which were found valuable TO
the oils with which they are filled
Now it is the water hyacinth whicl
has developed into nuisance, i'm
peding the navigation Of our rivers
and taking possession of some of OIL
beautiful lakes, and which we hav
spent thousands of dallars to sur
press. Some genius has discovere
that the pestiferous, but beautiful by
cinth contains a remarkably hig
percentage of potash which can b
extracted On commercial basis
These are all waste products, or hav
been esteemed as such, but it seem
they are all capable of being turne
to profitable account. II may yet b
found that the cattle tick is bles.
ing in disguise and that our attempt
to eradicate him have been mistakes
We need potash in our business Z
raising fruits and vegetables, and
we can tap the water hycinth for
supply, it will afford us a gratifyin
independence of Germany, which u
to the war was our main reliance fC
a supply. 1t will never be necessar
to cultivate the hycinth for 1t has
habit of spreading which in the pal
we have found both discouraging an
disgusting. It floats freely from plat
to place, and wherever it stops e
tablishes colony. 1t is one of II
+ greatest colonizers known, beatir

hail to the hyacinth as a potash pr

IA PLACE TO LIVE
\ (N. q. "A. Editorial)

What can be done about place to
live? Five million is the figure
placed by experts as the number Of
houses America is short Of enough to
house it's population efficiently. Be-
cause it is thus short, rents rise and
rise, families crowd into smaller
quarters, roomers and boarders be-
come more numerous, the young cou-
Pile live with Pa and Ma instead Of
building their own nest, there is no
room for babies--the whole social
life Of the people is dangerously af-
|fected.
The New York State legislature
has been called in special session to
try to enact additional laws to solve
the problem. 1t passed a whole raft
of special laws last year, which did
not solve 1t. A half dozen states
have played around the edges Of the
problem. City rent commissions, city
housing associations, city welfare
lleagus and other organizations too
numerous to mention have debated,
resoluted, talked, held meetings, agi'
tated, conferenced and cooperated--
but the shortage Of houses is more
acute than ever.
| The truth of the matter is that the
only way to relieve housing short
age is to build houses. And the
further fact is patent that private
capital win no longer engage on
large scale in providing housing. An,
number Of good reasons exist for thi'
attitude. The prices Of building ma
terials are sky high. The cost o
labor, SO 1t is said, is prohibitive
Land values have risen enormously
The banks will not provide the neces
sary credit. And so on.
! When private capital fails to NEE
a common need, what can be done?
Public capital can be substituted
1T was done during the war. Canad'
lis doing it now. North Dakota is dc
ing it. Australia and New zealan'
are doing 1t. Great Britain is doinl
it in aNlimited way.
For four years, public officials hav'
muddled with the problem Of housing
lin the end they must discover tha
the way to &c thouses built is to bull
houses.

Prices are dropping in most com
modities, due to new attitude. Not
long ago it was, I'll take it; what's
the price?" The signs point to a
gradual return to something like nor
NAL prices, not a general collapse,
not a return to the costs of days be-
fore the war, but a downward, trend
and away from freak bounds that ir-
ritated in the near past. We have
passed the peak.
