EW YORK. Aug. 29.-"The
mi Gold Rush" though a vastly
III entertaining picture. is not
Charlie Chaplin's finest.
As seen at the New York open
ing it seemed in spots loosely as
sembled and here and there a bit
labored, as if Charlie had cudgeled
his brain a little too much over
some OF the Gags.
More than any other screen per-
sonage, Charlie expresses himself in
film. and in THE Gold Rush" this
self-revelation is extraordinary.
1t is absolutely consistent with his
personality and methods that the pic
ture should prelude the comedy with
a note of gloom and grimness. For
it was thus that the comic humOr
was evolved in Chaplin's own life
from gloomy and painful begin
nings.
He begins The Gold Rush" with
a straight dramatic suggestion OF
the icy horror and travail OF the
Chilkoot Pass-the dreadful ordeal
of the early Alaskan stampeders.
1t ia a great conceptionACharlie
as a tramp prospector. chasing the
end Of the rainbow. shutting along
beside the gold-crazed horde, but
unutterly remote from the mere
metal grubbers.
Blithely he goes slithering around
terrible crevasses, eventually %
blunder into a fortune with a half
cracked sourdough. while the Chill
koot takes deadly toll Of the ear
nest plodders. And after the pic
ture has been viewed. one thinks
back on the title as a mouthful Of
irony, with the marks OF Charles
shoes and bamboo cane in the snow
as n sardonic trail OF mockery. Such
is the flavor of the humor in this

AS the final bill, Berkell has
chosen whats Your Wife Doing?'
a farce, which gives his two leading
players ample comedy opportunity.
WHATS Your Wife Doing?" was
produced in New York at the Forty
Ninth St. Theater, by the Messrs'
Shubert. 1t was adapted by Herbert
Hall Winslow from the French OF
Emily Nyitray. The plot has to do
with the affairs of a fine, clean-cut
young fellow, Gerald Warner, a
scion Of society, madly in love with
the charming Edith Somers.
Because he has always been an
idler Gerald's suit is frowned upon
by Edith's father a stern old lawyer
and Judge. But falling heir TO
$4,000 Gerald plans to make good
and overcome the Judges opposition.
Ill luck and bad judgement how
ever, causes the loss Of Gerald's
money in short order, so he gives
ear to the plea Of his friend Chris
topher Skinner, who seeks his aid
in getting a divorce from his wife,
a gay and attractive young woman.
Skinner wants a divorce, because
his grandfather threatens to disin-
herit him, because Of his marriage,
and for Gerald's part in the scheme
he offers the tempting bait Of a sum
equal to the amount that Gerald has
lost.
As is the rule in all good farces,
the scheme fails to work according
to plan.

else, but they do not and cannot
give literary inspiration or a knowl-
edge of life. and college men and
women are too young to have much
contact with life.
Perhaps we are going to have a
new generation of highly trained,
highly intelligent screen writer's. but
whether they will be developed by
theoretical college instruction Is
another question"
What I know about the movies
is the result of sitting out in front

the men who make them and those
who write EN-.
This I do know-We must have
school of writer's trained in the
language OF the screen. 1t makes
no difference whether these writer's
are trained in a university or only
upon the lot.

in training his mind to create and
to getting hold OF the tools used in
expressing his story.
The movie business is up against
problem similar to n newspaper.
Where do the reporters come from?
Does the college trained man make
the best reporter? Editors to do not
agree.
But they do know this-that any
man or woman must get his actual
newspaper writing experience in the
editorial room. A reporter must
know life and he gets that in the
editorial room.
I see an advantage in Kane's idea
and would like to see it put into
effect.

HEALTHFUL YEAR
Only Four Deaths Per Thou

BIZ United Press


WASHINGTON, Jan. So.-With
four deaths per thousand men, the
Army last year had the lowest peace
time mortality rate in history.
Figures submitted to Congress by
Maj. Gen. M. w. Ireland, Surgeon
General Of the Army, show that the
admission rate to hospitals of en-
listed men was sixty per thousand,
total of SAT men. Ireland ex-
planned that the previous year 639
men were admitted to hospitals, the
lowest of all time.
"A soldier" said Patrick, "goes on
sick list report very frequently, when
a man in civil life would be doing
business. He is not able to keep up
with the men in the ranks. The
slight increase over last year in ad-
missions to the hospitals is account
ed for by the amount Of dengue VI
had in the southern States, partic~
larly in Texas and in the Philippine
Islands. Dengue is an epidemic dis

panied by a high fever 1t is not

i WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Opera-
ton of automobiles using ethyl
gasoline is not harmful, the United
States Bureau of Mines has deter
mined
Exhaust fumes from engines using
this newly developed "anti-knock"
gasoline, which contains tetraethyl
lead, failed to injure or affect appre-
ciably a number of rabbits, guinea
pigs, pigeons, dogs and monkeys
during a continuous period of 1873 in
experiments by the Bureau to deter
mine if the use of the motor fuel
had any destructive effect on human
life.
The bureaus experiments were
undertaken both to find out If there
is any hazard in breathing air which
contains gases from engines using
this fuel or inhaling the raw ethyl
gasoline.
"The only danger of lead poison
ing seems to be confined to the
mechanic who is continually clean,
ing carbon from motors, and the
danger in this case is about the
same as that Of painter who uses
paints containing lead" the bu-
NSeau reported.
The investigation did not deal with
preparation of the tetraethyl lead
used in ethyl gasoline. This pro-
cess has caused a number of fatan-
ties in haywood, N. J.. and other
places recently.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Jan.
30.-Hah a million babies have died
in Argentina during the last decade
before they reached the age Of two
years. according to a report by the
ministry OF agriculture. 1t ascribes
the unusually high death rate to the
lack Of sufficient milk and adultera-

out that while the cattle industry
is the chief business of the Argen-
tine, most of the cattle are slaugh-
tered for expectation, which has re
suited in a serious milk shortage.

the municipalities exercise control
over milk distribution to insure pure

George Chance Allows First Half
Champions of Burlington Loop
Five Measley Hits

Delanco dropped to second place
in the Burlington County League
when Roebling pulled the unexpected
and administered 5-2 defeat to the
first-half champions.
George Chance hurled a brilliant
game for the winners, allowing only
five scattered blows during the nine
inning struggle. He had only one
bad inning, the eighth, when single
added to pair of miscues gave the
first-half champs pair of counters.
He whitfield seven.
Wilson also hurled brilliantly for
five innings but then weakened and
Roebling piled up five runs in the
next three frames. He was reached
for ten blows, most of which came in
the pinches. He was accorded per-
feet support by his mates.
RoebIing scored it's first counter in
the sixth when George Chance walk
ed, was advanced to second by his
brother Clarence, and scored on Pop
inka's single to left field. Singles by
Sunberg, Gotch and Reed, and a sac
rifce by Geo. Chance then account
ed for two more runs in the follow
ing frame, clinching the verdict. The
winners added two more runs in the
eighth by heavy hitting.
Delanco scored its two counters in
the eighth inning. G.. Shaw was safe
on Sunberg's error. Kalbach sent
him to third with clout to leftfeld.
Kalbach stole second and both run
ners came in when Ledger miscued
on A. Quigg's grounder.
Gotch grabbed batting honors, col
lecting three hits in a like number
of times up, one of which went for
double. Popinka, Ledger and Sun
berg each accounted for two safeties.
