CHARLIE CHAPLIN IN "CTTY :, LIGHTS" CONTINUES TO DRAW
 CROWDS TO WARMERS STRAND

In the second day of its engage ment at Warner Brothers Strand theater, Charlie Chaplins comedy hit "City Lights' continues to draw large crowds. Many of these pa irons have already seen the picture once and return to enjoy another great laugh. It is 2 picture that you can see twice and laugh twice as hard at the second time:
 "City Lights, Chaplin himself describes as . romantic comedy in the same tragic little tramp with the typical Chaplin appeal and he is the same uproarious comic whose gags seem to be without equal in the world of the cinema. Always an individualist. Chaplin has made "City Lights'' without the sound of c single human voice, though sound h used with striking effect.
 "City Lights' opens with . typical comedy scene in which Chaplin is found sleeping in the arms of Q statue when 1t is unveiled. The speakers addressing the crowd are mimicked by squawking orchestra ton, perfectly synchronized with the lip movements of the takers.
 Romance comes into Chariie's
 life when he meets 2 blind flower girl, who, hearing limousine door close, thinks he has just left his car. Sensing the situation, Chaplin allows the deception to exist by parting with his last dime for a flower.
 The masquerade goes on. The girl knows Chaplin only by touch. When she becomes i'll he goes to work as
 a street cleaner, tries boxing In which the referee becomes the los
 CT, becomes home companion 10 an eccentrict millionaire through
 whose bounty he raises money so
 the girl can undergo an eye opera
 ton.
 Virginia Cherrill, . newcomer
 who plays the blind girl. gives q remarkably well-poised and con
 vincing performance. Harry Myers is superb as the tippling Croesus.
