& Chaplin Gets Married in His

      Latest Picture, „The Immigrant“

      It has come at last! Every one felt that it was impending,

and it is rather a relief to have it over with. Charlie

Chaplin is married. It happened yesterday in „The Immigrant.“

Charlie has been leading up to something of the

sort, and there were touches of sentiment in his last few

pictures which made those accustomed to reading

the stars, fixed and movie, feel that one ought to look for the

most. There was no telling just how far he would

go, and he has gone so far as to purchase the license.

      Some time ago it was rumored that Charlie

was going to forsake broad comedy for polite comedy, and

immediately the refining influence was noticeable

in his dress. Yesterday one woman who witnessed „The

Immigrant“ at the Rialto, exclaimed: „Hasn‘t Charlie

got the most perfect nose!“ So, from now to the eye as well

as to the risibilities of his audiences.

      Naturally, the first scene in „The Immigrant“ was on

the deck of a ship. There is a splendid rear view

of Charlie leaning over the rail, which dips and sways

perilously; his feet are waving in the air, and one

feels that there can be but one interpretation of his attitude.

One is mistaken, however, for Charlie comes up

smiling bearing triumphantly a large trout on a line. He has

been fishing!

       He is the only one who anticipates the dinner bell,

and one feels that the mal de mer of the other

immigrants is not assumed. He must be seaworthy, indeed,

who can resist such pitching and rolling as this

vessel indulges in.

      It is on deck that Charlie meets his fate. He is separated

from her in the excitement of landing, but finds her

again in a restaurant. Unfortunately neither is equipped

with the wherewithal to appease their appetites,

but, needless to say, they do not go unfed. After the meal

is over Charlie borrows $2 from a new found friend

and coyly leads his fiancée to the Bureau of Licenses. Here

they are both afflicted with stage fright, and their

hysterical laughter is only checked by the license clerk,

who grabs Charlie and drags him into the office.

Charlie performs the same service for his fiancée, and

it is all over.

      „The Immigrant“ is the most amusing thing that

Chaplin ever has done.                                               H. U.
