TURP|N IN FILM
DOES. TRAVESTY
ON Won STROHE|M
Funny-Eyed Comedian Has
Chief Role in Three
Foolish Weeks
BY A. II. FREDERICK
NEA Service Writer

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 2.-Neither
Three Weeks" nor Foolish
Wives" presenting as they dc such
ample opportunities for burlesque,
should have expected to have
escaped the hands of the funsters.
They didn't. Mack Sennett recent
ly completed the filming of Three
Foolish Weeks as the name
suggests, double-barreled bur
lesque.
Principal star is Ben Turpin, he
of the nisbehaving eyes and prank.
ish nature, but otherwise renova-
ton. Not now the shabby suit and
misfit neckwear; no indeed. Turpin
has modelled himself upon the per-
son of Erich Won Stroheim, due al
Iowance being made for the different
fields of their talents. Eyeglass,
walking stick, uniform and medals
all complete.
To those who expect to laugh be-
cause of the dissimilar similarity
between either of the serious pic
lures and the takeoff, perhaps Tur-
pins makeup will be the funniest
thing in the picture.
To those who enjoy Turpin and
the Sennett studio humor, well, they
may expect a two-reel treat in the
near future.
Nearly Straight Comedy
Which all leads to the declaration
or hint to rgoers-that the
picture is much more a straight
away Sonnet comedy than a bur
lesque. The title, Turpin's makeup,
a tiger-skin rug and a few scattered
scenes are the principal connection
between it and its serious predeces-
sors.
Considered as a Sonnet comedy
only, it is goodwill the exception
of a few scenes which might much
better have been left out,
However, the fun moves fast.
Turpin's courageousness, symbolized
by his uniform, and the total lack of
it. gives him new opportunities for
gags" or incident development, of
which he takes fullest opportunity.
Even the time-honored scene Of the
small man fearing physical violence
from a larger threatener is given
zest by Turpin's characterization.
Madeline Hurlock, the love-smitten
queen, handles what part she has
capably and, much more to the
point, pulchritudinously, while
Supervising Director F. Richard
Jones has set the scenes with serious
thought to the purpose for which the
picture was planned.
