THEATRES
Strand Theatre Feature*.
Crowded houses have been the
rule at the Strand theatre since the
allowing of "The Idle Class" started
- a run there.
For "The Idle Class" Is Charles
Chaplin's latest First National at
traction. and it has demonstrated
fhat this talented comedian has
about as many followers In this city
as there are citizens, as the box of
llce cashier and the ushors can tes
tify.
It is a new kind of a Chaplin
comedy, for It shows him In two
roles—that of the familiar tramp
and as the absent-minded husband.
Arriving in town on the train which
the beauteous young wife uses to
reach the summer resort. Charles
crswi* out of his "box compart
ment" beneath the Pullman sleeper,
end dusts off his tattered glof bag.
in which there are two clubs which
h ve seen better days. He ensconces
himself in the rear of the limou
sine, and thus finds his way to the
home of the young wife.
Before the genuine Chaplin com
plications follow, he plays a game of
golf on the resort links, using a
hall belonging to another player and
thereby earning for the latter some
rough treatment at the hands of the
angry father.
Later, a" the husband, Charlie en
cases himself in a suit of armor and
goes to a masquerade to win back
the forgiveness of his wife, whose
displeasure has been aroused. There
the tramp enters, his attire being
accepted by the doorman as a mas
querade costume.
Conway Tearle In a new Sel2nlck
Picture, "After Midnight,'* will be
the attraction at the Strand theatre
for three days, beginning today, and
it promises to present him in a
play not only out of the ordinary,
but full of the thrills and mystify
ing situations that sre so dear to
the heart of all the theatregoers.
“After Midnight" Is a Ralph Ince
Production and that is equal to
saying that the situations and plot
have been developed to their high
est dramatic value and that the pic
ture will be marked by action and
more action.
There are some unusually Interes
ting scenes of Chtnatown and the
underworld of New York that have
Ueen worked out to the minutest
letail and fairly breathe the atmos
ihere of the famous Chinese dens.
\ half a hundred real Chinese play
i prominent part In the picture and
end an air of Impressive reality to
the scenes.
Croat Picture nt Crescent.
"The Foolish Matrons." tho at
traction at the Crescent theatre
shows an exclusive cafe la the fash
ionable qunrter of New York City. It
is one ol those cafes that msn-ebout
town frequent with young women
who would not be seen in the gen
erally known places.
Here under the spell of seduc
tive lights and enchanting music
mingled with the tinkling of spark
ling glass and soft words, the god
dess of profllgagcy reigne, unseen
and unthought of by the countless
young women who are lured to the
apparently innocent places of en
I joyment. ,
It is here that Doris May. In the
role of Georgia Wayne is lured by
the TCan who poses as her hus
band’s friend. It all appears so In
nocent. this trap that Is set for the
young bride, that she does not
realize the folly of it all until, just
at the crucial moment, when her
real happiness seems assured, the
crash comes which tears her from
her husband and casts her down
into the crucible of blasted hopes.
The story of Georgia Wayne Is
one that will bum into the hearts of
countless young girls who are now
facing the same problems of life.
She was a small town girl who be
lieved that the real happiness of
life laid in a great city. But Georgia
Wayne is not the only heroine in
the story; there are three of them,
and it is hard to say which Is the
most interesting.
Also a Harold Lloyd comedy.
At The Majestic.
You will not be satisfied with one
view of "Margie” the delicious musi
cal comedy which will be presented
at Majestic this afternoon and to
night
On* proficient In estimating
amusement values, delivered this
paradox concerning it: "It you see
It once, you'll see It twice.” The
music has a haunting quality. You
take It from the theatre with you.
Sub-conseiously. perhaps, it Jogs
around with you all day—you can
not easily describe it, ilka moonlight
on a river seen through awaying
bought. The comedy is captivating,
the danrea swift, the settings lux
urious and tha glrla the prettiest
in the world.
".Margie" will serve you as a tonic
and an inspiration. You will thank
the friend who advised you to It and
you will advise your friends to see
it.
The one and only American com
pany, headed by Elmer Coudy, will
be seen here. Mr. Coudy and his
associate fun makers are making a
refreshing, side-splitting, cleanly and
successful assault on melancholy.
The laughs come faster than the
ocean waves and the chuckles are
as countless as the sands of the sea.
The American production is under
the management of the The Mc
Gregor Company, Inc.
Met lichen Democrats to Meet
METUCHEN, Oct. 18:—The Me
tuchen Democratic Club will hold a

and probably all of the county office
candidates, will address the meet
ing.

The audience at the Ditmas thea
tre yesterday was transported back
ward into the ages a distance of
three hundred years through the
medium of Douglas Fairbanks' cur
rent picture, “The Three Muske
teers,” which opened for a stay of
one week.
The story, based on Alexander
Dumas' greatest novel, has to do
with the plot of Cardinal Richelieu
to bring about the downfall of Queen
Anne of Austria who with King
Louis XIII ruled France in the sev
enteenth century. Being the power
behind the throne, Cafdindl Riche
lieu was Jealous of the influence ex
erted by the Queen. In order to dis
credit theq uecn, the cardinal con

with the Duke of Buckingham
prime minister of England.
Douglas Fairbanks’ work as D’Ar
tagnan entitles him to a position or
the topmost rung of the ladder oi
fame. Those who have had. theii
doubts as to Mr. Fairbanks' abllit)
as an actor of dramatic roles Will
quickly discard these doubts wher
they watch his presentation of this
character. He is more restrained
by far more dramatic than in any
thing he has ever done before. Hi!
love-making is of the sort that ring!
true; it is neither silly nor over
done. The scene in which he come!
to the queen exhausted but with th«
Jewels he was sent to recover is one
of the most dramatic and realistic
ever seen on either stage or screen.
Every role in this feature is ideallj
filled. Marguerite De La Motte’i
work in the part of Constance, the
little seamstress who was the queen’!
E=a———
closest companion, and who was also
in love with the Intrepid and re
sourceful Ii'Artagnan, Is one of the
most naive Interpretations this clev
er little actress has ever given us.
