& Garden: Charles Chaplin in
„The Bagabond (Vagabond).“ Films.
Charles Chaplin will headline
the program at the Garden theater, Sunday,
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
in his latest laughing success „The Vagabond.“
Chaplin is seen as an itinerant
musician who after a series of comic and near-tragic
adventures in the big city, where he finds
the competition of the German street bands and the
hurdy-gurdys too much for him and decides
to try country life. He joins a band of Gypsies, rescues a wealthy
young girl whom the nomads have kidnapped, only
to have her flee to her artistic lover. He resolves upon suicide,
but a buxom country lass strives to deter him. After
contemplating the river and this bucolic maid of 266 pounds
Chaplin chooses the former and dives overboard.
His support includes Eric Campbell, Edna Purviance,
Syd Chaplin and Phyllis Allen.

& GARDEN.
That there is something more to the comedy of Charlie
Chaplin than a pair of funny feet, a twirling stick,
and comedy pants is proved by „The Vagabond,“ the newest
of the comedian‘s Mutual productions, which heads
the bill at the Garden this week.
Chaplin is rated by thoughtful critics as an artist who uses
the slapstick more often than is really necessary,
and „The Vagabond“ demonstrates this clearly. The slapstick
really has no place in this comedy, which is of a
better type than anything Chaplin has done since „The Tramp“
for humor and pathos of a genuine sort.
The hero is an itinerant musician who wanders into
a gypsy camp, where he finds a big hulk of a man
beating a young girl who clearly does not belong to the gypsies.
He runs off with the girl, and she is found to be the
missing daughter of wealthy parents. The comedy brought
into the film is uproariously funny.
Edna Purviance plays the young heroine.
The film will be repeated today and tomorrow, along with
an exceptional showing of the International Film
Service news and fashion pictures and animated cartoons,
and the Mutual „Reel Life“ magazine features.
