THE Man Magnificent" which is
now playing at the Murray Theatre, is
like a trip through the Canadian
woods with Frank Mayo as a guide
The star has a fighting role in the
Universal action drama which makes
the love theme even more dramatic
| Pretty Dorothy Devore plays opposite
the star in the leading feminine role.
RICHMOND
Traffic is tied up for fifteen minutes,
one traffic cop is dropped in the
sewer, the Mayor and Alderman are
tapped on the head with a twelve
| foot drygoods box and Charlie Chap
| lin is stuck in pile of hot tar in the
opening scenes of "A Days Pleasure, |"
which is showing at the Richmond
! Theatre
| This production marks Chaplin's
| fourth picture of the million dollar
class which he is producing for dis
tribution by First National Exhibitors
| Circuit Eastern critics who have seen
advance runs of the production declare
| that it embodies the hearty laughs of
| his previous First National successes,
Shoulder Arms "A Dogs Life" and
"Sunnyside," but is in itself the most
unqualified laugh success he has yet
produced
The famous comedian makes a de
cided departure from his previous pic
ture, intending to eschew the slapstick
! for events that are likely to happen on
busy street corner and on an eXcur-
sion boat.
MURRAY VAUDEVILLE
Just like vacation to weary man
/ That's the effect of The Spirit OF
Mardi Gras on the professional vaude'
vile attender. 1t is a relief from the
hum-drum, and the only regret is the
same as that which haunts the vaca
tionist-he knows that next week he
must return to the same old grind
Four beautiful girls and a clown jazz
| band turn the trick. Those musical
wizards equipped with saxophones
violin, trombone, drums and piano
kick up a lively racket which synco
pates up and down ones rhythmic
column Popular airs sung by be
witching maids in fine costume is the
spice of the pudding.
Beaggy and Clause present clever
and graceful roller skating novelty
Several difficult feats by the couple
found much approval. The male mem
Der of the team does whirl on one
foot which excites comment. They
close with unique offering.
Du-1avy and Merrill slightly overdo
their Much Ado About Nothing
They have the peculiar trait of making
one smile yet feel angry at himself
for doing it.
Frank Mayo in 1.-The Man Magni
ficent" is the film feature.
