If you haven't seen Charles Chap lin in his newest picture "The New Champion" you are just cheating yourself out of a few thousand long healthy laughs At Polls theatre capacity audiences have laughed themselves almost to mysteries at the antics Of this funniest of film come dians in his newest production. It is a, plain riot from start to finish and is the surest cure for the blues. To- night affords a last opportunity to see Chaplin as we'll as the great big vaudeville bill that has packed Polls daily.
 Heading the vaudeville bill is a tabloid musical comedy presented by the ssSix Peaches and g. Pair. The stpeaches'' are pretty girls who can sing and dance; the pair a, couple of very clever comedians. The songs and dances are very good and the comedy lines fairly sparkle.
 Another big feature is Milo ?'', i, presenting an absolute novelty in vaudeville To tell about this offer- ing would be to spoil part of the pleasure of seeing it. It is a real hit and remarkably well conceived.
 Rounding out the big vaudeville program are: A comedy playlet, sa- tirizing the feminist movement, When Women Rule': Martin & F'a- brini, in a dainty dancing divertise- nnent: Rane Arnold, in exclusive song stories; and the Faynes, in Flight Minutes in a Conservatory.
 An extra added film feature are the first motion picture views Of the devastati on wrought by the recent Italian earthquake. The scenes are authentic and were taken by govern ment permission.

EMPIRE


 One Of the most baffling and sensa- tionaI crimes of a. decade was enacted Iast night Ella Ashliegh, the beautf- full daughter of Lord John AshIeigh of Hamblin House, England, was found prutally murdered in the bedroom of her unele's residence. It s believed that the motive for the murder was robbery as it is known that Miss Ash leigh was the proud possessor of a wonderful collection of jewels. Upon investigation, Inspector French, of the police 1ound that the gems had been taken by the criminal.
 The Inspector also admitted that he was completely at sea as to the mys- tery conected with the deed, as the murderer had well covered his or her tracks Sanford Quest a scientific crfrn- fnologfsts has been called in and the results Of his investigation will be shown in the opening instalInlent of the greatest alm serial, "The Black Box,,' written by the greatest of all modern fiction and mystery writers.
