Charlie Chaplin: copyright. 1880. by
Charles Chaplin"-thuS reads the in
troductory caption And through the
whole Of 1t goes the old derby, the
cane, the trousers that have grown
Seamier with the years, the shoes
that shoot out at right angles. the
moustache and the smile that indi-
Gates that, like Peter Pan, Mr.. Chap
lin will never grow up.
There is nothing to indicate in
this most recent of "Charlot'S" films
that the talkieS have overcome his
talents. Talkies may come and 60
the stage may come and go-but Mr.
Chaplin will 60 right on forever In
more prophetic vein one ventures
to predict that he. alone, among the
cenematic idols will have a perma-
nent library built around him where
the offSpringS of the next generation
may go and reach down a film and
be RECALLED after the manner of this
generation.
Without Succumbing to dialogue
this great star has fortunately gone
half way and bolstered his story
with music. In this field, it seems
as though perhaps he had done more
than any one before him-Suiting
sounds, with not only beneficial, but
in many places highly amusing re-
suits. Particularly evident is this
at the opening of the film when the
famous statue is being unveiled, and
when the speeches of the important
perSonages are mimicked by Saxa-
phones and horns in the accom-
panying orchestra
What makes any Charlie Chaplin
film, of course. Is Charlie Chaplin,
and not so much the story. In every
story, however, there is that drop OF
pathos without which the stars
comedy would not, in contrast. be-
come so mighty. The pathos in
City Lights" as well as the "Ro-
nance" has to do with blind girl
played supsrlatively by a newcomer,
Virginia Cherrill-Who is helped to
the recovery of her sight by Chaplin,
whom she believes to be a million
aire. and whom she eventually rec
ogiZss as the tramp which he has
been all along.
The highlight of the comedy
which is subtly coarse in places
is a prize fight in which Chaplin,
after years and years OF seeing cine
matte prize fights, has done things
which nobody ever thought of doing
before. This fight, plus his noctur-
nal ramblings with Harry Myers
Cthat stanch supporter of his. who
has appeared in so many of his
films plus the other thousand and
one laughs make this film the most
hilarious of the recent Chaplin
works-and must, naturally, be seen
by every son, mother, father and
grandfather in the vicinity. It is,
in fact, urgently recommended as
the best entertainment Of the year.

Ell Brendel Comedy
In Mr.. Lemon of Orange"
"MR. Lemon of Orange" is full
4VA length Ell Brendel comedy.
This means that his worshippers will
shrek with laughter for a good
round hour, and that those who feel
otherwise will sit with bowed head in
heavy slumber-which Slumber will
become deeper as the irrespressibly
French Fiji DorSay cavortS around
and about.
Although the title is more than
dequate-reminiscen somewhat of
that old one Mr.. Paris of London
and although Eddie Cantor is said
to have been responsible for much
of the dialogue. it doesn't seem as
though it had much of bother TO
him, or that even If it had, Mr..
Brendel would have done much
about it. For-aS may have been
guessed by now-thiS worthy and
highly popular comedian, who has
prolonged his Swedish accent until
the sound of it now positively hurts,
is not one of the favorities in this
departmental hinterland, and neither
is that invariable partner of his,
Mile. Dorsay.
The audience. however. seemed to
like Mr.. Lemon at yesterdays first
sitting at the Fox. which probably
means that this opinion of comedi-
an who has outgrown his comedy is
very much in the minority. And so,
if one still cheriShes the ways and
means of Mr.. Brendel, and if one
QuiverS at the sight of Miss Dorsay
in a makeup so heavy that it puts
to shame whatever lines Nature has
graced her facial features with, one
will have as good a time as is pos
sible along the theatrical boulevardS.
From this point of view then
that of the audienc--'Mr. Lemon
of Orange" is to be recommended as
the best of the Brendel nonsenSical
comedies. And even from the other
and mora acid point of view, it has
its moments. Mr. Brendel acts a
double role and may be seen briefly
as real live gunman, with little
trace of his patriotic accent who
has a double. Mr.. Brendel, who is
a salesman of childrcn'S tricks and
toys. Through this fantastic yarn
go various and Sundry more or less
amusing characters-and William
Collier, ST., who is really amusing.

So startling have been the results accomplished by Sarg on, that scores of outstanding physicians have broken the rule of a lifetime and given it their unqualified en- dorsement. Dr. C. J. Roberts, M. D., of Philadelphia. graduate Univer- sity of Pennsylvania and for 26 years medical examiner for the Pennsylvania Railroad, said:
 After an investigation of the Sargoh formula, for which I was expressly retained, find that it is rich in those clements which help to bring revitalized vigor, strength and endurance to pale, tired-out, debilitated men and women. It en- riches the blood of those suffering with simple anemia and is without doubt a highly valuable formula that the entire public should know about.
