"~ AT THE CAPITOL Famows Comedian in “The Circus” Next Week Charlie Chaplin in *“The Circus!" Peanuts, sawdust, pink lemonade, zlowns, tigers, elephants, roaring lions, acrobats, wire walkers and Charlie Chaplin in his brand new omedy will all be at the Capital theater beginning Sunday night for one entire week. Written, directed and produced by Charlie Chaplin, “The Circus” was two yvears in the® making and it is the first Chaplin comedy since “The Gold Rush.” Charlie plays a wandering lad who s mixed up in a series of hilarious adventures, chases, arguments and ovations that land him in “The Cir- cus” as a very fine fellow. Merna Kennedy, with red hair and just five feet, two, with eyes of blue, is his | leading lady; she makes her screen debut in the role. Others in the cast are Harry Crocker, Henry Bergman, Betty Morr and Allan Garein. f According to officials Artists corporation, which released the new Chapin conmiedy, “The Cir- cus” presents the Chaplin of old, the Chaplin of “Shoulder Arms,” *“Pay Day” and “The Pilgrim,” — the thumping, bumping little man with the trick derby and cane, the wrig- gling moustache and the feet al- mighty. Chaplin himself announced during production®of “The Circus,” which was made at his own studio in Hollywood, that his new picture would be *a low brow comedy for high brows.” | Manager Barrett of the Capitol | theater said that he felt “highly gratified” in being enabled to pr sent at this theater Charlie Chaplin first comedy in tw d a half y s, | especially so because he considers ‘The Circus” the funniest Chaplin pleture he has seen. Palace Will Feature “Woman Wise” Sunday “Woman Wise," said to be one of the most entertaining come: dramas produced by Fox Films in recent months and featuring June Collyer, William Russell and Walter | Pldgeon, will open on Sunday and | continuing to Monday night. It was ! directed by Albert Ray. | In this romantic action story of Persia, Walter Pidgeon is cast as a United States consul at Jedda. Into | the oil fields comes William Russell. He secks wealth and adventure. At | heart he is a wanderer, however, an | adventurer who is ever ready for a fight or a frolic, and when Miss Col- | of United lyer appears upon the scene Russell ! immediately finds himself in the | thick of battle as regards hearts and | fists. Pidgeon, strugglipg along with an inadequate staff, is at first amazed and angered when his government | sends him, as assistant, a vice-con- sul in the person of Miss Collyer. He soon finds her quite capable, despite his opposition to women helpers, and | Begins to fall in love with her. Russell, as the ne'er-do-well, also poys ardent court to the delightful | American, but it s00n becomes ap- | parent that the girl's leanings are toward the good looking but some- what peppery consul. How the two Americah lovers svive this difficult problem and, at the same time, meet and conquer obstacles which threaten the honor of the consul, furnishes the basis for one of the most zestful produc- ticns offered here in recent months. | The companion feature picture | closed today, was said to have ‘SALIRS' WIVES' SUNDAY AT STRAND |Club Anatole Revee Monday— 20 Broadway Stars Strand patrons will itness a pic- turization of the sensational novel by Warner Fabian, “Sailors’ Wiv when that picture opens a four day engagement beginning Sunday eve- | ning. ailors' Wives” has been |taken DLy the produ and been | written for the scereen with a touch of genius.
