& Exhibitor Holds Laugh Contest
J. H. Michael, manager of the Academy Theatre,
Buffalo, N. Y., introduced a novelty in his regular
weekly entertainment by instituting a Photoplay Laugh
contest at his theatre.
Fifteen reels of comedy featuring practically all of the screen
comedians of today were shown. The honors of winning
the contest were to be awarded to the comedian who provoked
the heartiest laughter and received the loudest applause.
Charlie Chaplin in „Easy Street“ ran away with the show,
registering more laughs and applause than the balance
of the entire program.
Mr. Michael is quoted as remarking: „I am frank in saying
that in all instances in showing Chaplin comedies
my experience has been that we are always in for record
breaking business.“
