forces. Those who saw them say they
were larger than the dirigibles used in
previous visits. They were out of

the land.
One witness tells OF seeing a Yep
pelin, which appeared to be of a
larger type than those on previous vis-
its, flying at considerable height.

and shells from guns that opened fire
could be seen bursting around it. One
gunner claimed he hit. the Zeppelin
thereupon being seen to turn around

comedy Of Charlie Chaplin than q pair
Of funny feet. twirling stick. and

bond" the newest Of the comedians
Mutual productions. which heads the
bill at the Garden this week.
Chaplin Is rated by thoughtful critics
as an artist who uses the slapstick
more often than Is really necessary.
and The Vagabond" demonstrates this
clearly. The slapstick really has no
place In this comedy. which Is Of u
better type than anything Chaplin has
done since "The Tramp for humor and

missing daughter of wealthy parents.
The comedy brought into the film Is
uproariously funny.

STRAND.

A drama of the accepted film type for
a woman star Is the Triangle Offering
presenting Bessie Barriscale at the
Strand this week. mot My Sister," The
particular feature of the play that
stands out In the minds Of the audi
ences that have seen 1t is the work Of
Alice Taffe, whose name will be
strange to most photoplay patrons. who
plays the part Of the sister.
The story has to do with the unfor-
tunate experience OF young girl with
an artist. Miss Barriscale does her
usual fine work in the part Of the
young girl and William Desmond is
the artist. Some years later. when the
girl is married. the artist prevails on h, +
sister to pose for him. The trouble
in which the sister becomes involved
engulfs the other girl and her husband.
