They said that he was Will Rogers, Charlie Chaplin and Al| Jolson all under one straw hat, and | they predicted that the film he had | just finished making in Hollywood, | his first for the moving picture pub- lic, would be a great success. That film, “Innocents of Paris,” i was presented at the Strand Vh(‘{\l(‘r‘ yesterday for four days and the ac- ‘ claim with which it was greeted by | Strand theatcr audiences shows that | the New York critics had made a | perfect score. Chevalier is a great success! nnocents of Pari deals with | the rise of a pushcart-peddler and | singer, who. gets his chance, and | kes good on the stage. The| scenes are laid in the French capital. | The supporting cast is excellent in spite of the fact that Chevalier is the hind of star who doesn’t need sup- | port. To sum up—no man,. woman or child should fail to see this king of | minstrelsy and pantomime, Maurice | Chevalier. On Thursday Jack Mulhall will be featured in the first dual role talk. ing picture ever made, “Dark Streets”. There will also be a vaude- ville program offered. | GRAND THEATER, HARTFORD “Sliding Billy Watson"” opens the burlesque season at Hartford todi: with performanecs at 2:15 and 8:1 in the Grand theater, Hartford's popular laugh center which countcd thousands of loyal fans from tn: x Sliding Billy bring: his own show to the Grand this and it is aptly titled “The FI.
