& Grecian Theater, El Paso, Texas.

      There are not many moving picture theaters either in this

country or abroad that can be compared with the

Grecian theater of El Paso, Texas, in point of beauty. The house

has the best front for a city the size of El Paso that

we have ever seen, and we believe that many of our readers

will bear us out in this assertion after a careful look

at the accompanying photograph the Grecian.

„Chaplin outdoes Chaplin“

      ,Keystone Komedy‘ Special.

      Chaplin outdoes Chaplin, in His Trysting Places,

a ,Keystone Komedy‘ special which will be shown at the Grecian

today. This is the second of the Keystone specials which

will be a regular attraction at the Grecian every other Thursday.

His Trysting Places is one scream from beginning to end.

Chaplin starts his antics in scene 1, act 1 and the two reels slip

away before you know it. He merely sits down in the

kitchen to read the war news, while Mabel tries to tend the

baby and make bread at the same time. He leans back,

upsetting the boiling kettle and burns his leg. Then the trouble

begins, one aggravating triviality leads to another, until

you are plunged into the the complications of a well-devised

story. The incongruity of Chaplin‘s portrayals, his extreme

seriousness, his sober attention to trivialities, his constant errors

and as constant resentment of what happens to him, all

this has to be seen to be enjoyed. Mabel helps materially in

all the amusing scenes. Great tream. Great comedy.

Don‘t forget, today only. Come early. – Advertisement.“
