      WILL TICKLE THE CLEMMER CROWD NEXT WEEK

      By The Movie Editor

      I WENT to the Moore one day last week to see a trial

showing of Tillie‘s Punctured Romance, an Alco

film of six reels. It is the wildest, funniest film I have ever seen.

      I used to think Mabel Normand was the funniest

woman in the movies. I know that Harry Chaplin is the funniest

man. I‘m not sure now which is the funnier – Mabel

Normand or Marie Dressler – fat, mad Marie, who, on the

legitimate stage, has made me laugh many a time.

      Marie, Mabel and Harry are all in Tillie‘s Punctured Romance.

      Many managers were present at the trial. Even

they had to laugh. And if you can make a manager laugh,

you are indeed funny.

      Jim Clemmer secured the film. It will be his attraction

beginning Sunday. Perhaps Clemmer is getting

an education in humor. He has been running a good many

Lubin comedies lately. And the average Lubin

comedy is about as subtly humorous as a monkey on a stick.“
