SENNETT COMEDY AT
 STRAND FULL OF MIRTH

Burlesque is a dangerous weapon. It is loaded frequently for the man who uses it. but Mack Sennett is bullet proof when it comes to burJesque. He has never failed to get hisNtravesties over, and Down on the Farm his latest addition to the worlds mirth. is an example of how entertaining burlesaue can be- It is the attraction at the Strand theatre, and if there be one dull moment it would take extremely search ing eyes to discover it.
 Down on the Farm has all the melo-ness of the old days of ten. twenty and thirty-cent melodrama, when the villain was always after the papers and
 the weeping heroine was in and out of his clutches continually, but it is of a
 different brand Mack Sennett has taken the old situations and made them burst into laughter They are all funny. and the cast that presents Down on the Farm" is almost who's who of his great company of humoris artists.
 Louise Fazenda, one of the few women who consents to hide her good looks to farmers daughter. Ben Turpin and
 Jim Finlayson are the hero and yii- lain of the good old days Marie Pre- vost, the hired girl, lends the touch of decorative appeal that the comedy needed, while the rest of the cast is all there. And the list includes John Henry, Jr.. the kid who made himself famou. overnieht: Teddy, the dog who does everything but talk. and Pepper the cat who is wise beyond her generation.
 Mack Sennett has always done re- rrarkable things with animals, and the lceaie of Down on the Farm permit ted him wider scope than he has ever had before. Ducks, chickens. geese. pigs and COWS all seem to acquire a sense of humor under his guidance.
 At any rate. Down on the Farm is 100 per cent comedy and is brimful of zippy action.

 days Their encounter with self styled r o'clock fellow in a o'clock town leads to a situation that ends in a complete surprise.
 This play1et is one that gets away from the stereotyped act usually com ing under this head and is one of the most thoroughly enjoyable acts seen on the stage here in some time. Some of the old time clog dancing Is featured in "A Study In Tan" two young women in an act of a most un- usual character. Blackface comedians must look to their laurels since brown skins" have invaded the theatrical world.
