The. entire story and production, conceived and produced by this mas- [ter cinema genius promises to reveal |a treatment of a vital problém, pre- | {sented with extreme simplicity yet | {with an unbounded psychological | | force that will blaze a new trail | |along the highway of motion Picture | | progress. | The theme is a startling one, and | | made the more so because of the ut-| jer simplicity and warmth of feelin | gl that permeates it. { It presents a pro- '|!blem dealing with the basics and fundamentals of life, commenting upon it in interesting fashion rather than attempting to solve it. While the story is of life as | studied by Charles Chaplin, it in no wise deals with the life of Chaplin | but with the lives of others as seen | by him. And as in actual lite, there is comedy, tragedy, passion, absurd- ity, melodrama, farce, Smoliosal. | ism, oynicism--all these Chaplin has combined as Ingredients of life in| "A Woman of Paris." At the same | time he has woven an exquisite ta- | pestry portraying the sincerity of a {woman's soul in all its nakedness though clothed in its individuality. Dealing with lives and types that! he knows, Chaplin brings to tha] screen his first contribution to the serious drama a story as old as that | of Adam and Eve yet presented with | such convincing understanding and treatment that it will be a revelation in the art of photo dramatics. "A Woman of Paris" will be pre- | sented at the Grand Opera House | for four days, commencing ao-mor- | row, with a matinee daily, being the | first Charles Chaplin production to | be released through United Artists | Corporation ,the combined organ-| {ization of the foremost stars and | | producers of the motion picture in- | | dustry, Mary Pickford, Charles | Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks and D.| W. Griffith. "SCARAMOUCHE" MAKES A BIG IMPRESSION AT THE CAPITOL "Scaramouche" the long heralded | | masterplece of film work, is now at the Capitol Theatre and will remain | there until] Thursday evening. It is everything that critics have claimed for it--and Ramon Navorro is quite a lot more. In the leading part of Andre-Louise Moreau, Navarro is | little short of wonderful and he is | prominent in the action from title- | plece to fadeout. It is said that | Valentino had been first intended | for the part. Whoever decreed other_ wise is to Be congratulated. The "'he-vamp" would have spolled it. | He has only one type and is good | <DUMBELLS" AT GRAND | 8econd Edition of "Cheerio" | Scores Big Success--Final Presentation To-night. Shows may come and shows may 80, but the "Dumbells," with Capt, Plunkett, ton, Jack Grace, Ben Allen, Hagan "Teddy" Treneer (our own Kingston boy) and the rest of the cast will, like Tennyson's . Brook, run on forever, provided the com- pany continues to give to the pub- lic an entertainment of the type pro- vided in the Second Edition ot "Cheerio," as presented at the Grand on Monday night. - The overseas boys were given an- other grand reception and the programme well deserved the warm applause bestowed on the various artists. From start to finish there is not one dull moment. As with all other shows put on by the "'Dum- bells," this production goes over with a swing and dash that is most pleasing. It is something well worth while. It is a show that sends au audience home feeling happy and satisfied and this is what counts. Al Plunkett, Ross Hamil- | A. Marrison, Jack | There are more than a score of new musical numbers in this Second | Edition of "Cheerio" and about as | many new acts and for one to stay! away simply because they attended | "Cheerio" last . season, would be | folly. True, a few of the old hits, "The Disorderly Room" and Al Plunkett's song-scene, "'Shufflin' | have been retained, but by special request, and one cannot get too much of a good thing. The orchestras has a number of new novelties. "Comin' Through the Rye" is given a most amusing version. Ross Hamilton has lost none of | his charm and it is safe to say that | his gowns made the ladies 'sit up | and take notice." His two out- | standing numbers are "Flirting" and | | "Life Of A Rose." Al. Plunkett is strong on girl songs and in this new production rakes a big hit. Al. puts the very | best into his songs and carries his audience through every line. Special | mention should be made of two of his songs, "She Must Be A Wonder- | ful Girl" and "Everybody Slips Al Little." Round after round of applause | greeted Pat Rafferty. He is a good | comedian and kept his audience in| | roars of laughter in "Then You'll Aemember" and "Tony, the Swiss Mountaineer." . Mack Sennett has nothing on the "Dumbells'" bathing beauties. They | | come on in a lively song by Morley | Plunkett and put it over in fine! style. Bert Wilkinson's work as female Impersonator is good. One of the best {eatures of the entire show is "Think O' That," in which seven "cops" of the comic opera type, give a '"sing-song" regarding their achievements. Jack Loug- heed's whistling solos and Gordon Calder's Scotch songs are gems of the programme. Jack Hagan shows himself to be a finished comedian | ston, and Robert, of | CE The Late R. A. Marrison. The funeral of 'the late Robert | a former resident of | Cataraqui, who died at Lakeland, | Florida, on Monday, March 3rd, took i place to Cataraqui cemetery on Mon- day afternoon. Rev. G.
