Davis Thentre Sunday, Monday - Tuesday The golf Jinks are utilized by Charles Chapiin_in The Idle Class, which comes to the Davis theatre on Sunday for = three day engagement, as the setting for sqme of the funniest incidents ever sceu m a motion picture comedy. His arsival on the links with his tat- tered bag containing two nondeseript clubs is the signal for the fun to start. And it starts with a bang, keeping up at high speed throughout. He hasn't got a caddie, but that doesn’t seem to bother him. He hasn't even got one of the nec- essary gutta percha pills, but he calmly appropriates one belonging to a more for- tunate player—and thereby gets an inao- eent bystander into trouble, eseaping the same fate himself. He manages to hit the ball all right. but he is not overly particular in which direction he whangs it, with the result that the links become as hazardous as No Man’s Land. But the golfing incidents are but a small part of The Idle Class, the First National attraction which is packed solid with laughs. . The second feature is Constance Tl made in Mamma’s Affair, the screen ver- sion of\Rachel Barton Butler's Harvard University play. Constance Talmade wins new laurels in this vehicle. Mamma's Affhir is presented by Jo- seph M. Schenck and is released by As- sociated First National.

Every situation is 2 new one and all are describably laughable. As a goif- er Charlle is a long, hysterical scream. The only fault with Chaplin comedies that they end. One could sit and watch "The Idle Class” until Europe pays the United States her war debts, geiting new risibilities tickled at each screening. Percival Wilde, who wrote Marie Pre- vost's first starring vehicle “Moonlight Follies,” which will come to the Strand theatre on Monday, Tuesday and Wed- neaday is said to have had more playw produced at Little Theatres than any other American author. Wilde, who has written many successful stage plays, in- cluding The Woman ir Room 13 has giv- en to the screen one of its breeziest com- edy-dramas in Moonlight Follies. The usual four acts of B. F. Keith's vaudeville will be shown In spite of this big feature program. The Nellos are clas- sy comddy jugsl@. Levime & Lioya in a comedy offering. Chas. Lioyd & Co. in a merry comedy entitled The Speedster, Ryan & Ryan in a singing, talking, dancing cemedy riot. ‘There will be no advance in prices for this special program. It is a. two and a half hour program. See Charlie Chao- lin at the Strand and get most enjoymen( for your money. Charlle Chaplin at the Strand Sunday Doubtless thousands of his admirers think Charlie Chaplin was born with flat feet and never wears good clothes. Th will be disillusioned, however, by the comedian himself in an emphatic manner. For in his latest First National picture, The Idle Class, which wili be shown at the Strand theatre on Sunday, he ap- pears in the dapper guise in which hi California neighbers see him in publle. For the first time, it is said, Charler will play a dual role, so to speak, and reveal himself in other than slum habila ments. There will be scenes, of course with the familiar funny walk and th baggy trouser-seat, but in others Charil will set over against them the real Chap- lin sans moustache, derby and No. 12 shoes, and in their place will wear rai- ment fit for the Court of St. James. Thomas H. Ince, whose record for dis- covering and developing film stars has been equalled by mo other producer, has scored with another young “find.” Lloyd Hughes, who is featured with an all-star c¢ast in the first Amsociated Producery special, Homespung Folks, which will be shown at the Strand theatre on Sunday, is the rising young juvenile whose des- tiny s assured. Hughes showed such promise in several Ince productions that he was finally given a real chance in Below The Surface, & chance that he handled with such skill and judgment that he immediately estab- lished Rimself among the leading juve- niles of the screan. Hughes is one of the most versatile young men before the cgm- era, being equally at his best in overilh or full dress. Homespun Folk which is the story of a young country lawyer who is thrown into the vortex of a bitter political quar- rel, gives Hughes an excellent opportunity, to display both his high dramatic talents and his ability to ‘effectively put over clgver comedy bits. No.rother picture that has been released from the Thomas H. Inc studios is so full of dramatic sit- uations, of thrilling action and of highly Episode No. § of the Purgle Readers will also be shown.
