night does his best screen work
since 1.-The Kid" and that s saying
".some.p
For unadulterated fun and mirth-
provoking situations the new pic
ture has them all backed off the
boards. The plot is better sustain
ed than most of his pictures and
events move on to q gale of laugh
ter that can be heard for blocks.
The plum pudding episode is
quite the funniest and most original
thing seen on the screen in many a
moon.
Chaplin, as an escaped convict
wearing a minister g clothes, is mis-.
taken by the small town congrega
tion as their newly-arrived parson.
At the home of one of the members
a special dinner is prepared for
him. Visitors arrive, including a
couple with a mischievous boy.
The festivities in honor of the
new .'parson are somewhat spoil
ed because the precocious youngster
uses his fathers derby as a cover
ing for the plum pudding. The un-
suspecting Charles pours the sauce
over it and from then on, things
happen.
The picture will give its final
showing tonight.

Gray Is 1T"
Among Style
Loving Women
BY HEDDA HoYT
Fashion Editor Of the United Press

NEW YORK, April ls.-Grav
costumes predominate over all
others in the Easter parade on
Fifth avenue, predicting a strong
season for gray. There were
many gray suits made very
plain and tailored with finger
tip length jackets. With them were
worn small gray cloche shaped hats
which kept their trimming in gray
tones. Occasionally n hat of noun
tain haze or orchid added a touch
of color TO the gray costume. The
long gray coat with straight lines
offered an interesting style note.
Coats of this type seem quite as
popular as the black fringed eapes
of last season. Many of them had
corded collars of self material
while others had collars of gray
squirrel or platinum fox.
King Tut Coat
The King Tut coat proved to be
one of the sensations of the Easter
fashions. Several young women
wore them. They were straight
lined affairs of dark blue embroii-
cred in huge Egyptian figures pyra-
mids Jand hiaroglyphies in color:
red, yellow, green, purple and gray
Often their wearers augmented
their attempt at the bizarre BY
wearing red hats and shoes.
Colored slippers were very much
in evidence everywhere, Red being
the most popular color, followed by
green, blue and purple.
