Editorial content. „TILLIE‘S PUNCTURED ROMANCE.

      Marie Dressler had two openings in New York theatres

Monday night. One was in pictures at the New York

theatre and the other was in her new stage vehicle, A Mix Up,

at the 39th Street, but it‘s odds on this elfin comedienne

causes more laughter in the film than she does in the play. Both

are farcical, the film more so in point of construction,

but everything Marie Dressler does for public amusement

runs to comedy. Tillie‘s Punctured Nightmare“

Tillie‘s Punctured Romance? „came from the title role

Miss Dressler played in Tillie‘s Nightmare. She

is splendidly supported by the Keystone Company, including

Charles Chaplin, Mabel Normand, Mack Sennett,

Mack Swain and others. Miss Dressler is the central figure,

but Chaplin‘s camera antics are an essential feature

in putting the picture over. Mack Sennett directed the picture

and right well has he done the job. Miss Dressler

wears clothes that make her appear ridiculous. Furthermore

she makes gestures and distorts her face in all

directions, which help all the more. The picture runs a trifle

too long, but the hilarious, hip-hurrah comedy finale

is worth waiting for. A new comedy angle is given the picture

at the finish by use of a ,water patrol‘ wherein some

funny bits are shown.“
