term. Judge Axelberg has con-
Quoted the Office well and faith

CRANDALL,S.

At Crandall's Theater yesterday was
reviewed what will doubtless stand
in the annals Of silent drama as the
comedy classic of all 'time-.Tillie's
Punctured Romance" interpreted by
the greatest cast of celluloid sufrons
the screen has developed.
Titles Punctured Romance. will
be remembered by many as having
enlisted the services of no less dis
tlnguished a roster OF players than
this: Charlie Chaplin, Marie Dress
Ter, Mabel Normand, Chester Conklin.
Mack Swain, Ford Sterling. sgd Chap
lin, Charles Murray and AL st. John.
Every one now is star of pictured
farce in his own right. Chaplin, the
adventurer bent on acquiring an
heiress' fortune without at the
same time acquiring the heiress Is at
his ridiculous best; Marie Dressler, as
the hetress, Is an elephantine figure
Of discontinue and distress and
Mabel Normand, in the role of the
siren who really holds Charles un.
divided love, shows here the reason
OF her later prominence.
AS a sure-fire producer of laughs
whole-hearted and unrestrained-this
wonder farce bids fair to surpass its
former high mark the first four days
of this week.

story of the impetuous young Italian
