      Charles Chaplin has nearly completed another

Essanay-Chaplin comedy and it will be released shortly. The

title is „Charlie Chaplin‘s Burlesque on ,Carmen,‘“

in two acts. Again Chaplin is found in an entirely new role.

There is less of the slap-stick variety of fun and more

of the subtle points of genuine humor.

      Mr. Chaplin apparently is able to put over something new

in almost every production. You look for him as he

appeared last and you find that his make-up has disappeared

and a new one donned. But it is the same Chaplin

underneath, you find the same personality that has made him

beloved all over the world.

      It is largely this element of surprise that make his fun

of the top notch variety. You expect to see one thing

and you are confronted with an entirely new phase of the

mysterious Chaplin. But the surprise is always

pleasing as the fun as always there.
