THE STRAND

Kings may come and kings may go
but Charles Chaplin, the King OF
Laughland remains with us as the man
who made and is still anaking millions
laugh. Charlie is a sure cure for blues
and when he is in a picture you have
lust got to throw all restraint to the
four winds, throw back your head and
laugh, laugh and laugh some more
Charlie will be seen in his latest COM
edy "The Cure which tops the bill at
the New Strand theatre this afternoon
and evening. In this picture this laugh
maker has new line of comedy
which is mixed with his familiar line
and he is funnier than ever. The story
is Of Friend Charlie, and his feet, and
his many experiences trying to do his
"derndest" in drinking brownies dry
But alas alack, he finds to his sorrow
that he is unable to even unload all
the "joy water" in one place. He gets
pretty well lit up and starts things
agoing Then he meets the Girls, takes
the VOW and HES himself off to a mod
ern health resort to recuperate. He
starts things agoing in the health re-
treat and has a. lot Of fun with the
patients and finally he shuns Mr.. De-
mon Rum ana reserves d. p0EHlan6nI
seat on top Of the water wagon" In
the two parts of this picture Chaplin
sees to it that there are two thousand
laughs or a laugh every foot, both in
the films and in his feet. Chaplinantics
are what the merry crowd want and
that is what they get in 1.-THE Cure
and you'll surely laugh, maybe scream
and perhaps howl. An all select pro-
gram will be shown. Tomorrow: 1.-THE
Pulse of Life,'' a five. act Bluebird
play with Gypsy Harte and Wedge

ments and was deservedly acclaimed
the most sensational and spectacular
melodrama that has ever been con-
ceived. In picture form, it is much
more elaborate. The many gigantic
scenes at the race track, the fox hunt,
the terrible train wreck, the auto dis
aster are all realistically depicted.
Eight reels Of film are used in the
showing Of the complete production
and there is not a moment during the
entire time taken to run off the film
that interest is not paramount. More
over, from a Photographic standpoint,
''The Whip is a work Of art-a mas
terpiece beautiful.
In addition to 'The Whip, Charlie
Chaplin's latest and most 1udicrous
farce, The Cure will be shown for the
the entire week. The action of the
piece takes place in sanatorium and
one may readily imagine the possibili-
ties for laugh creating amid such sur
roundings.
Love Dop", a new Drew comedy
will be among the other splendid at
fractions, not to speak of the retention
of the augmented orchestra that acorn
panied the representation Of "The
Barrier last week.

big questions Of life, will be the pa
irons and endorsers of the new birth
control play, Her Unborn Child"
which will be the attraction at the
Lyric theatre for one week, COM
mencing tonight.
Birth control is a daring subject
to deal with on the stage but with
the progress of the theatre as an edu-
cational institution as well as a place
Of amusement, questions of this kind
are bound to be introduced.
Howard McKent Barnes, the author
Of "Her Unborn Child" in his play
deals with the subject in most dig
nif1ed manner He spent months in
research and the result is a play
that tells the truth about birth con-
troll. He has taken as his principal
characters a boy and girl who love
unwisely.
Because of the sacredness of the
theme of the play, motherhood, and
out Of courtesy to women, the man
