This isAChaplin’ week at the theater and every' day, with the exception of Thursday, there will be a:Chaplin re- lease on the program. Friday and Saturday the star will be seen under a Mutual banner»when he will make his New Britain ‘debut as a $676,000 a year entertaineriin “The Floorwalk- er.”” Tiis is the first picture for which Chaplin posed since he suc- cumbed:to the salary inducements of- fered by:the Mutual people and great care wasiexercised in producing it be- cause of the effect it is expected to have on future releases. While the producers are getting hig money for the Chaplin pictures, a not unexpected result when the size of his salary is considered, the Keeney management will show the films with- out advancing the admission price, thereby running contrary to other the- ater-owners, There is considerable interest In the Wednesday and Thursday pro. gram as one of the big attractions will introduce to New Britain theater-go- | ers as a pleture star, Carten DeHa- ven, who will be seen in “A Youth Of Fortune.” DeHaven was once ex- tremely popular as a musical comedy !l actor. He has played in Cohan pro- ductions in this city and was a big | favorite. In pictures he is also ex- pected to prove a big success and the Wednesday night patrons are antlici- pating a treat. On these days the second episode in the big serial, “The Mysteries Of Myra,” will he shown. Among the vaudeville entertainers this week are the Young, LaDell trio, eccentric pantominists, who are cre- ating considerable amusement with | their laughable acrobatic specialty “The House Of Too Much Trouble,” and Dorothy Kenton, a clever ban- joist.

This is the first time that any of the big New York department stores has ever been used as the set- ting for a motion picture. “Hoodoo Ann” is one of the best films seen here in some time. The poor little girl thought she was doomed to a life of drudgery-dish- washing and floor-scrubbing day after day. And when another was accused of murder because of her accidental deed things looked blacker than ever. But there was a happier day in sight. She met him, and the grim, dark sor- rows of the past slowly faded away and In the place of sadness was joy, desire to live and be loved. This fllm-play will suvely please.

Aside from the many good interpolated throughout this comedy from the pen of Geor Cohan there i sereamingly plot, one that is not so at first but which graduaily upon the mind’s eve and then last night at the Lyceum secure:d nu funny and comedy. It is to laugh. From the moment that Philip Shef- fleld, playing the title role, ~nt in the first act by bounding down a for- midable flight of steps until the last act when Alfred Cross advances the “big idea” saying, “Let's sing a litile song and let these people go home.” there is always life and actlon in this Sure as | or press on the | comedy. The funniest character seen oll sea- son on the Lyceum stage is *Bill” Costigan, played by Alfred Cross. Costigan is a wonder. Around him centers the entire action. He enters the mansion of voung Spooner, the little millionaire, just when that gen- tleman is giving a dinner party to some friends, and refuses to leave un- til he has cleared up the big mystery in the play. The little milllanaire is on the verge of being married, and Costigan, who is not even acquainted with young Spooner, is there to pre- vent the marriage. Just why,—no one knows; until the final act when it is all divulged. And then, but this plot is too good to he glven awa here. It must be plaved by the play ers on the stage. Suffice to sav, however, that the first two “curtains” are screams. To miss crime. Miss Julie Herne, as the demmnre little lady with whom the little mil- lionaire is in love, wins the favor of her audience by the manner in which she portrays this character. Aside from that she has a great song num- ber with Philip Sheffield and surpri all her friends by the way she sings it. This is a pretty little hallad, “Teach Me How To Love” and is done with effect by the able assistance of a good working chorus. Miss Florence Hart, while she takes no part in the musical program has much to do as the designing aunt of Goldje Gray whom she is trving to force on the little million She not only succeeds in marying the girl off, but caps the climax by getting the Doy’s father. Tt takes quite some in- genuity to carry out such an extensive plan, and Miss Hart shows just how it can he done. The big song hit of the nizht falls to the lot of N ton and Mr. Cross.
