S. RIO. sign OUT
ATLIBERTY AGAIN

"fChimmie Fadden' is a document OF
New York life truly worthy of being
preserved in a photo-dramatic form.
The natural eccentricities of the char
acter give the play rare indiyidual-
ity,s' says an eastern critic and he
tells the story. Chimmie Fadden, as
Interpreted by Victor Moore, is com.
mance-drama-with the accent
ion the comedy.
At the Liberty theater last night
another of those Sunday evening S. r..
o. houses paid homage to Victor Moore
and the great Lasky offering. And
everybody present was apparently
well satisfied with the evening.
This now famous character first ap-
pered before the public in series
of newspaper stories from the pen OF
E. W. Townsend. These stories be-
came the foundation of a book which
ran through many editions and which
in turn became the foundation of one
of the most popular of the spoken
stage comedies. Newspaper stories,
book and stage play combined to make
of "Chimmie" a character known
round the world Today this same in
dividual is still further extending his
acquaintance through the medium Of
the film and screen.
+ A typical child of New York's noted
BoNery, rough but at the same time
big-hearted, Chimmie becomes foot
man in the home of an impulsiye
young heiress whom he rescues from
the insults of a "masher" while she
is on a Summing trip. In this posi-
ton and also as butler Chimmie is the
regular bull in a, china shop" and
distributes laughs at a rapid-fire pace.
His love affair with The Duchess" as
he christens the French maid, adds not
a little to the mirth-proyoking situa-
tons. =

INTEREST CROWD


Frequent and hearty applause OF
various moving pIctmes of Hawaiian
life flashed on the acresl last night
at the Opera House by Robert K. Bo-
none, local photographer and moving
picture man, bore evidence OF the ap.
probation with which the show was
received by the good sized crowd.
OF all the varied scenes, which were
presented, perhaps those of the leper
settlement at Molokai, taken last 4th
.of July at the celebration there, were
viewed with deepest interest by tour
lists and local residents as well
Showing the majestic pals back Of
the village, the dashing sea in front,
the we'll kept lawns and white painted
houses, the 4th of July parade with
flags and banners, and the baseball
games and horse races, the picture
cid much to drive away the feeling of
horror many people have at mention

of the training shown in the picture.
Annie Kent writes and sings her
own songs and her singing and dane
ing made big hit on Saturday night,
as did her sketch of girl who is
stage struck and fails to make good.
