God, my nerves is shook somethin'

Poor Charlie. underneath his court

something else as helped the
doctor bathe and bandage. but that
harsh monoloGue broke through our
every effort. The sergeant and the
doctor, and some other men that
had gathered around the scene OF
the accident. righted the machines,
and they were both found to be in
running order. so we gave the

course, clinched the whole matter,

doctor, laying an accusing finger
under his very nose, "if you ever
try to kiss a girl rugged out as she
was, 1t would serve you right to

imagine he would treat every one

Chaplin and Lauder
Haze Become Co-Stars

Charlie Chaplin and Harry Lauder
have Joined forces and are going to
raise 100000 or more for the $1,000
600 war relief fund which Lauder is
promoting.
Tho idea was conceived by the noted
screen star when he was entertaining
Lauder at his new motion picture plant
in Hollywood, Cal. The plan so strong
" appealed to the Scotch humorist that
not moment was lost in carrying it
out, and two hours later the camera
had filmed what promises to be the
most interesting comedy ever made.
Chaplin and Lauder compose the
entire cast and there is only one scene
il. the picture. During large part of
the pantomime Lauder has adopted the
Chaplin style and the screen star takes
a fling at the characteristics for which
the Scotchman is widely known.
When the story was completed the
two comedians, with their personal
business managers, Tom Valance and
Sydney Chaplin, took up the subject
Of turning the film into money, and it
was decided that the entire Chaplin
would be used to further
the success of the venture.

beauty was the rich Inheritance OF
a Creole grandmother who was the
toast of Louisiana? And wouldn't you
guess that she had been raised in the

her grandfather had been q Spanish
cavalier?

as the good example Of excellent show.

The picture is playing to capacity
houses twice day, and the S. r. O.
sign is exposed to the weather. This
Is in the nature Of an ovation, for "Tar-
Fan of the Apes is the missing link
which has been found. Thus ara the
representations Of tho wiseaeres rent
asunder-for twas said a short time
ago that the picture, without glowing
personality (reckoned In dollars and
cents), was foredoomed to allure.
The unusual film Of Edgar Rice Bur
rough's story was produced by the Ma
tlonal Film Corporation with the def
| mite idea Of placing before the fans
every dollar that was invested, to the
tune Of 100000, shown on the screen.
Enid Marley, Elmo Lincoln, Gordon
Griffith, Bessie Toner. George French,
Kathleen Kirkham, Thomas jefferson,
True Boardman and Jack Wilson-all
practically new figures, in so far as be-
ing featured in an immense picture
play-are the principal personalities,
and then in support are others COM
paratively as little known to the aver
age playgoer. And they are standing
them up at every performance.
'Tis peculiar picture, this "Tarzan
Of the Apes" Lions in combat with
men. Leopards and jaguars attacking
human beings. Apes and gorillas in
fierce and primeval struggles. Killing
hons before the camera eye. Raidins
a cannibal village. with an elephant or
two taking the lead in the attack.
And intertwined are three romances.
Three contrasting love stories which
are flashed back to and fro with re-
markable frequency, yet which dove
tail into the tale with a picturesque
intensity.
Now villa come the discussion again
as to whether stars are necessary.
The picture was made in the junglcs
of Brazil, far up the dreaded Amazon
River, where the primeval junglcs,
fungus overgrown and overrun with
deadly snakes and nsects,-afforded
the most remarkable atmospheric back
ground imaginable. And the fact that
story thought by many to be i'm
possible Of transposition to the screen
turns out to be one of the biggest hits
in years proves again the lack of fore
sight on somebody's part.

now at work on a Elimination of "Frank-

tional as "Tarzan."

well, we couldn't just make up our

Miss Frederick looked like a tea rose

and twisted over her ears in two braids.
She wore yellow silk peignoir and
little purple velvet mules. 1t sounds
alluring, doesn't it? 1t was.
