' pnARLIE CHAPLIN'S burlesque on "Carmen." Essanay's 1'our-aet feature, fea-ture, has been released through tb.e V. L. S. E., and will be shown at the Orpheum one week, starting Wednesday, May ;il. It is a scream of laughter from start 1 to finish. i Everyone in the country knows of this Chaplin comedy, and has been waiting to ; see it. T t "Carmen," as all the world knows, is j the classic tale, of love and passion writ-1 writ-1 ten by a Frenchman, and Is .so appealing j it has been translated Into every language lan-guage and made into a play and into an opera, and finally into a photoplay. The story Is that of a younp; lieutenant who is cent Into a Spanish province to slop smuggling, which is costing the government thousands of dollars yearly. He proves adamant to bribes and "is the oespair of the smugglers. But Carmen, a Gypsy girl, beautiful, alluring and unscrupulous, un-scrupulous, guarantees to make Licuten-; ant Jose see reason. He falls to her arts, betrays his trusl and kills a brother oiheer, after which lie joins the Gypsy band. But Carmen does not love him. ShV deserts him for a popular toreador. Jose follows her to Madrid, where lie kills her and himself. The thing is so big it lends itself readily read-ily to burlesque. And Chaplin, as the smitten soldier, uses Edna Purvianee and the situations made by the storv to such effect the comedy is one continuous laugii. The situations aren't changed But it is Chaplin as the "low brow" in the part Hhat makes il. ridiculous Edna Purviance is a beautiful, passionate Car-; Car-; men. and Ohnplln is a well-meaning and therefore,, extremely funnv lover. |
