& The Property Man (Keystone, Two reels. Saturday, Aug. 1.)

– The wonderful and mirth-provoking Charles Chaplain

appears in this comedy. His work is excellent. As a property

man he is not so good, from the business

standpoint, but before the picture is half over the whole

house will be in tears from laughter.

The whole show goes wrong, due to his flirtatious, neglectful and

idiotic ways. The picture ends in a free-for-all

hose fight. Mack Sennett appears in a minor part.

& The Property Man (Keystone), August 1. – A two-reel

picture of the funny things that happened behind

the scenes in a vaudeville theater. There are few people

who don‘t like these Keystones. They are thoroughly

vulgar and touch the homely strings of our own vulgarity. Some

of the funniest things in this picture are vulgar – they

are too vulgar to describe; but are too funny to pass for vulgarity

when only seen. They are not the best pictures for

a parlor entertainment, that is true. There is some brutality

in this picture and we can‘t help feeling that this

is reprehensible. What human being can see an old man

kicked in the face and count it fun?
