SOME LATE NEWS
CONCERNING COMEDY

Ben Turpin is TO be featured in a
series Of comedies By the Vogue Films
Inc.
These should be good. Turpin was
shown in the earlier Chaplin comedies
but couldn't be continued in them be-
cause his methods were too much like
those OF Chaplin
Instead OF feeding the star as they
say in vaudeville. his work was in con-
flict with Chaplins.
Very few movie comedies are making
good enough to be featured longer than
two or three weeks at any first class
movie theater- One Of the few excep-
tions TO this are the comedies starring
Mr.. and Mrs. Drew
These hold up because they are
comedy which raises the audience to
the laughing point once or twice in
each story. There Is no rival TO Chap
lin. and the only comedies which get an
equal number Of laughs are some OF
the Keystone comedies. particularly
those featuring the plump Mr. Ar
