Next Week.

The most recent of super-film plays,
Passion" which opens an engage
ment at Washington Theater Friday
or next week, is said to mark a new
epoch in motion pictures. Passion"
Is an intimate version of the story of
little French milliner who rose to a
position commanding king and af-
fecting the destinies of a nation. 1t
is presented as an Associated First
National attraction and it comes to
this city with an actual record for
establishing new ideals in screen pro-
duction. Aside from its reputed new
technical projections there is a depth
of panoramic perspective hitherto un-
known to the silyersheet and in
stanced by the passion Of huge mobs
rising In their might to overthrow the
mighty, and Of which there have been
plenty of demonstrations lately in the
form OF strikes and rebellions. One of
the big scenes in this photodramatic
spectacle is the storming of man.

ers who are unwilling to face present
conditions frankly and courageously
are retarding resumption of normal

which under present conditions are of
little real advantage to the workers,

Money Rates.
The reserve ratio Of the Federal re-
serve banks has in the period under
review risen from 496 per cent, on
February II to 500 per cent. on
March II, but the general situation
has not materially changed.
There Is little basis for any expec-
tation that borrowers In general will
secure their requirements at lower
rates for some time to come. Nominal
market quotations, however, may give
an appearance of easier money con-
ditions.
Production.
There is a growing recognition of
the necessity for lowered freight rates
on heavy tonnage items which can
only be effected when there have been
corresponding reductions in the wage
scale both Of railroad employees and
of labor in the basic industries. The
steel industry as a whole is reported
to be operating at about forty per
cent. of capacity. Price reductions on
the part of the independent steel max
ers have, not resulted in large orders.
A further decline in the price of cot
ton has somewhat affected demand for
many classes Of cotton textiles, but
orders for immediate requirements
continue to be placed In certain
staple lines there has been improve
ment. Ginghams have moved well fol-
lowing drastic price cuts made several
months ago by the large producers.

This is not such materialist, gold
digging, part of the world, after all.
In one day last week, two fthe city's
surburbanites indicates that. The Rev.
Ohio F. Bartholow, pastor of the First
NJ. E church in Mount Vernon, re-
fused $1,000 increase in salary
which he had just been voted. He has
been pastor for sixteen years and says
he has been getting along very COM
fortably and sees no reason for chang
ing his manner of living. On the same
day William c. Baker, Gardens, Long
Island, distributed $4,000 among his
four children. He is only 81 years old
and says he expects to live a good
many years yet. But have enough
left to get through on and | want to
see my children, enjoy themselves
while I'm alive" he said.
The production of THE. Hero
which opened the other day brings
forward new American playwright
of great promise, Gilbert Emery. He
has shown a remarkable skill at char
acterization and analysis, and has at
the same time, prevented the play
from becoming a clinic of that sort of
thing. 1t Is the story of two brothers,
the fascinating irresponsible prodi-
gal, and the slow plodding, unpictur-
esque worker. Grant Mitchell is play
ing Andrew, the plodder, and Robert
Ames gives a scintillating perform
ance as Oswald, the worthless hero,
for a hero he manages to remain in
the eyes of the public, even to the end.
One wouldn't think, offhand, of
gloves as being subject for intense
controversy. But such they seem to
have become among a considerable
portion of Manhattan's population. I'm
speaking now of women. Society and
near-society has been-and still is
all stirred up over the question Of
whether or not one must wear gloves
throughout an evening or thrust them
carelessly onto the floor. Even the
Vanderbilt family tself is split on this
serious matter. Mrs. Hamilton NJ. X
Twombley, one Of the most exclusive
of the vanderbilts, never bares her
fair arms in public, while Mrs. Harry
Payne Whitney, another Vanderbilt
rarely bcthers with gloves. Other
equally formidable names can be
quoted on either side. But the person
who has created the most of sensa-
ito mis- Mrs. John Barrymore, the ex-
Mrs. Leonard Thomas, who has start
ed the fad of wearing short gloves
with short sleeves! That is quite
enough to give any Of us a shock

more in the way Of uplifting human

sweetness and light and general uplift

give them a realization that they have

out that ther is no reason for man to
assume for himself alone all the joys
