THE PLAYGOER

"Worth A Million" is a play of immense, variety. Starting out as wit comedy, it suddenly become self-conscious, realizes it is falling flat, and ends up as out-and-out burlesque. If "Worth A Million" had tried to compete with the Old Howard, from the start, it could have made better use of its east. Glamor-the old and the new -is represented to perfection in Nita Naldi and Cobina Wright, Jr. Nita is dark and over-weight. Junior is blonde and slim. He stature is picturesque. She deserves to have a play built completely around her--a play which would just stop in the middle and give the audience a chance to look and wonder.

It is the story of a jinx boy who gets paid to keep away from people and football. Charley Chase of movie fame makes the part a roisterous one, but his lines give him no support.
