"PAY DAY" BRINGS CHAPLIN
BACK AS TOlLER WHO
OBJECTS TO TOLL

There is only one complaint 10
make about Pay Day" the latest
Charles Chaplin picture at the r.
& K. Lindsey Theatre. Its two reels
should be ten.
There is only one Chaplin. Aay-
one doubling il need only see Pay
Day" The distinctiycness Of art is
something that can be acquired
neither by study or work Il is a
matter of ability and instinct; and
Chaplin is the one person who can
blend the fine art of pantimime with
a serious mien that makes the whole
impcrsonation irrestibly funny
Don't ask what PAY Day" Is all
about. II hasn't a plot like The
Kid II isn't supposed to; but It's
just as funny Even a sphinx would
break into a coy giggle II he could
see Charles hanging on 10 a long
chain Of sausages, nonchalantly
reading his Evening Gazette under
the impression that he is swinging
along on a crowded street car.
It's Chaplin's picture. He wrote
the story. He directed the making
Of il and he stars IN II. Apparently
IL would seem tha' when you've said
Chaplin you've said all that needs 10
be said about a Chaplin comedy. Il $
more Of a truism In this case than
ever because in addition 10 Charles,
brother Sydney Is in the east. too.
But the players also include Edna
Purvianee and Mack Swain, who are
splendid foils FOR the stars stunts.
The comedy brings the inevitabl re-
Election that "Pny Day" comes only
too infrequontly.

versity club, where he was seen and
recognized by Theodore Logan. who

Only Question in Rhine Pay
ments Is Who Shall Pay.
Asks If Z. s. Note to Allies or
to Germany?

Paris, March 31.-F'raHce replied
today to the note from the United
States concerning payment of the
costs of the American military occu-
patton of the Rhineland. The French
note repeats the recent declaration of
the minister of finance before the SEN
ate that France recognizes the rights
of the United States in the matter.
The only question is to whom the
request for reimbursement should be
made-tc the allies or to Germany,
the note says.
The French foreign office charac-
terizes the note as a mere acknowl-
edgment, OF the American communi-
cation. The American embassy, how
ever, considers the note a full accept
ance of the claims as set forth in the
American note.
