& Garrick.
Charlie Chaplin, in his latest picture, „The Count,“ will be the principal attraction at the Garrick, commencing this
afternoon. Chaplin masquerading as nobility is said to make
one of the funniest film fantasies seen on Broadway
in many moons. As assistant to a poor tailor Chaplin is dissatisfied
and decides to get a taste of high life. This he does
by posing as a nobleman, in which character, being introduced
into society, he falls in love with one of society‘s most
famous beauties. His romance is shattered, however, and it is
said that Chaplin gives us glimpses of his talents for
emotional acting in several of the scenes.

& Garrick.
Charlie Chaplin made the crowds roar as usual yesterday
at the Garrick in „The Count,“ his latest picture.
„The Count“ gives you the quintessence of Chaplinism. If you
like Chaplin you‘re quite certain to delight in this.
The popular comedian masquerades as a count in society,
but of course never ceases being Charlie. He gets
fun out of a dumb waiter, out of a dinner party, but most
of all, out of a ballroom.

„An all-laugh week“
Editorial content. „Garrick.
Not an all-star week, but an all-laugh week, will occur
at the Garrick commencing Sunday. Charlie Chaplin
will be seen there in his latest comedy creation, The Count.

masquerading as a count, is said to make one of the funniest
film fantasies seen on Broadway in many weeks.“ (...)
