Pathos And Comedy
In Chaplin Film
TODAY

In "The Gold Rush," called
Charlie Chaplin's greatest comedy,
and shows today for the last time
at the Monroe Theatre under
"a United Artists Corporation re-
.sIease, the worlds most famous
comedian is seen as pathetic
astenderfoot struggling along with
hundreds Of others who are in
search of gold in the Klondike.
Poetic pathos and whimsical
comedy are cleverly blended in
this film. There is one scene in
which Charlie, bedraggled bit of
humanity, finds a sympathizer and
sweetheart-a girl in a dance hall.
She dances with the little tramp
who beams over her shoulder into
the eyes OF his rival, a wealthy
miner.
There is Jim Mckay, giant as
strong as an OK. Mckay is enraged
land Charlie trembles as the big
man menaces him. The little man
thinks after all that death is bet
ter than the loss of the queen of
~the dance-hall.
To have the right types in
sTruckee in Northern California,
where many scenes of this picture
were produced, Chaplin took out
special trainload of hOboes with
aswell-seared c6untenances and tat
tered clothes.
In several sequences it seems
an endless line of ragged humanity.
that is crossing the Chilkoot Pass.
"A blizzard RACES and men are
blown about helplessly. They
fight on dOggedly, as this winding
path cut through the SHOWS over a
sprecipitous mOuntainside, is the
gateway to their goal, the Klon-
dixie.
Then in another stretch there
Is Black Larsen, who lives in ter
efor of the police. He builds hut
IN the Alaska mountains and lives
as hermit amid snow and ice. To
this hut comes the pathetic Chap
in. He knocks at the door for
rest before plodding along to the
land of gold. Larsen does not
care who staryes, as he is not
going to take any chances of the
police experimenting him.
The scenes aboard a big steam
ship are full of human interest.
The luxury and comfort of the
first cabin are contrasted with the
misery, want and sickness in the
-steerage. There is the little man,
who a few years before went on
the long hike to the Klondike, and
who now aboard the great vessel,
Is seen wrapped in costly furs. He
Is unhappy because he has lost his
girl. But in the steerage there is
a girl returning home from Alaska
wishing she could find her dear
little tramp again.

miles from this city. was seriously
wounded early today when attack
ed by lone robber, who ransack-
ed the bank. Nicely was at work
when the stranger entered the
bank and ordered him o throw up
his hands. Upon trying to remon-
strate with the man, Neely claims
he was shot several times, falling
unconscious to the floor while the
robber got away with large sum
of money.
No bullet marks were found
anywhere in the bank, and it is
believed that Nicely was struck
with a piece of iron pipe, which
was found lying in the bank. Sew
eral painful gashes on his head
would substantiate this theory.
People on the streets claim no
shots were heard. The plight of
Neoly was discovered within a few
minutes after the robbery. The
exact amount of money taken is
not known.
No one knows the identity of
the robber, but it is believed that
he was one of several strangers
who have been noticed on the
streets of the little town the past
two days The strangers drove an
automobile, which it is claimed
was seen proceeding on the Au-
burndale-Lakeland road within
few minutes after the robbery,
which occurred between 9:I5 and
