& THE E. A. R. THEATER
Not only does the E. A. R. exhibit the finest pictures, but
the beautiful music furnished nightly creates a feeling
of entire satisfaction to every one entering this beautiful modern
theater. Robert Stronach, the popular organist, says of the
organ, „Without doubt, one of the finest in Chicago – an organ that
is almost human. You have to hear the E. A. R. organ
to be convinced of its marvelous superiority over the usual
theater organs.“
The following is only a sample of the splendid programs
we are offering for your consideration. These pictures
cost us big money but we think they are worth it if you do. (...)
Thursday, Nov. 5 – „Dough and Dynamite.“ This
is the greatest two-reel Keystone comedy ever produced. You
will laugh at every action in the story.“

„Quite the funniest thing I have ever seen“

,Dough and Dynamite.‘
With this alliterative title the Keystone company,
champion celluloid burlesquers, threaten the public with risible asphyxiation. It‘s a dangerous thing to be abroad,
this celluloid comedy, for it is so funny that no check rein
on laughter is going to hold. It is about bakers
on strike. with Charles Chaplin and Chester Conklin filling their
places, and the comic qualities of the adhesiveness
of dough last through two full reels of sheerest nonsense.
A the end there is a grand climax, due to the
raising power exerted on dough by dynamite, that leaves the
observer quite limp. With the exception of Goodness
Gracious, which is scarcely a square comparison, for its humorous
appeal is more subtle, this is quite the funniest thing
I have ever seen.
Furthermore, it is a sort of an expurgated Keystone, without
the many flashes of coarseness so characteristic
of Keystoneism, which do not contribute particularly to the fun
of the situations and which do militate against their
enjoyment by a large class of nice people who do not like
vulgarity in their amusements any more than
in their conversation.
Dough and Dynamite is creditable burlesque comedy
that justifies the term ,slapstick.‘
This initiates the extension of the Keystone products
to include two two reel specials each month. If the
same standard can be continued, it will stamp the Keystone
director, Mack Sennett, as one of the world‘s wonders,
for 2,000 feet of unflagging, laughter compelling nonsense
is an achievement not humane but herculean.“
