Chaplin released. Exclusive showing
at the Regent.
without exaggeration 1t is said to be
the funniest OF all the funny pictures in
which Chaplin has worked. And it
carries just touch of pathos, so closely
allied to humor. a vein of sincerity that
accentuates the comedy.
Charlie Chaplin. as tramp, is wan
derinG along a country road, when a
girl is set upon by a band of hoboes. He
rescues her and is given a job on her
fathers farm. One night he routs a
band of burglars and is shot. The girl
nurses him until he is recovered. and he
falls in love with her. But the girls
sweetheart returns and Charlie goes
he gets a job as a motion picture actor.
In a series of misadventures he spoils
all the pictures in which he is working
and drives the manager to distraction.
Miss Edna Purviance appears
throughout. being the girl on the farm
at the. opening, and then. playing the
part of her sister when Chaplin leaves
his bucolic surroundings for the city.
On Friday-Nat Goodwin will be pre-
sented in "a Wall Street Tragedy" a
screen version of Adrian Johnson's
powerful drama. Billie Burke. in the
nineteenth chapter of 'Gloria's Ro-
,, nance" (Her Vow Fulfilled). will be on

Season after season the critics an
nounce that the last word" in elabor-
atenesS of stage settings
"katiRka" has been spoken, and yet
the skeptical stage artists,
like an ingenious woman, manages to
speak still another word. Arthur
Hammerstein is one of the most notori-
GUS offenders against critical judgment
in this respect, and in "katinka,'' which
will be presented at the Orpheum for
special return engagement on Friday
matinee and night, he has managed to
say not only one more word, but a
whole sentence, or even paragraph. His
former productions, The Firefly" and
High Jinks." were considered the acme
Of excellence and eloborateness. But
"Katinka" is credited with putting her
two predecessors under eclipse.

TO establishing for the federal govern
ment complete title to the entire
