AT SPENCER SQUARE.

Charlie Chaplin's burlesque on Car
men," Essanay's four-act feature, will
be seen at the Spencer Square tomor-
row. 1t is the only genuine Chaplin
feature TO be had and is a scream of
laughter from start to finish. Every
one in the country knows of this Chap
lin comedy, and has been waiting to
see it. Carmen as all the world
knows, is the classic tale of love and
passion written by a Frenchman, and
is so appealing it has been translated
into every language and made into a
play and into an opera and finally in
to a phOtOplay. The story is that OF
a young lieutenant who is sent into a
Spanish province to stop smuggling
which is costing the government thou
sands of dollars yearly. He proves
adamant to brides and is the despair
of the smugglers. But Carmen,
gypsy girl, beautiful, alluring and I'M
scrupulous, guarantees to make Lieu
tenat Jose see reason. He falls to her
arts, betrayS his trust and kills a
brother officer. after which he joins
the gypsy band. But Carmen does not
love him. She deserts him for a pop
uIar toreador. Jose follows here to
Madrid, where he kills her and him
self. The thing is so big it lends itself
readily to burlesque. And Chaplin, as
the smitten soldier, uses Edna Pur-
Vance and the situations made by the
story to such effect the comedy is one
continuous laugh. The situations
aren't changed. But it is Chaplin as
the low brow" in the part that makes
it ridiculous. Edna Purviance is d
beautiful, passionate Carmen, and
Chaplin is a welI-meaning and there
fore extremely funny lover.
