Picture, is Booked

Chaplin outdoes Chaplin—that’s al]

footed skid-—and it seems to make
him rough highway or parlor floor—

A
no difference whether he has under
is just as funny in the last reel as
it is in the first. Chaplin’s serious
face is seldom crossed by a smile.
With perfect confidence he leaves
laughter to others—and well he may.
Marie Dressier, the famous wom
an of the legitimate comedy stage,
suffers not a whit by comparison.
She breaks into the story at the first
jump and is in the scent with Char
lie every minute. She kicks and is
kicked, falls and gets up or is labori
ously picked up. Sober or unsober,
she is inimitable. Trouble follows in
her ample wake. If at any moment
there seems to be an insufficiency of
disturbance she beats a strategetic
retreat and takes a fresh stran
gle hold on everything and every
body and starts something new. It
is inexplicable that these boneless
but never spineless players live to
play another day.
Mabel Normand is the third prin
cipal in the large cast. She has the
role of the unsuccessful rival for
Charlie’s hand; that is she is un
successful for a short but exceeding
ly lively period en ling in the harried
and bedraggled Tillie resigning her
claim to the fickle bridegroom. Chas.
Bennett is the millionaire uncle who
is not killed bv the fall down the
snow-covered mountain side and
whose return to the scene of Tillie’s
rampage is the climax, as it is also
the dramatic catastrophe of his sole
heiress’ flight in high society.
The picture is finely staged. The
interiors of the mansion wherein Til
lie and her husband entertain socie
ty are elaborate and luxurious. The
bit of snow above the clouds makes
an impressive contrast with the sun
shine-flooded vegetation of the lower
country.
“Tillie’s Punctured Romance” is a
side-splitting comedy with a million
laughs—and an appeal for every
man, woman and child.

SAMSON
34 Ton Truck
The value of a farm truck lies in its ability for continuous ser

ditions.
Price You would think that if all these conditions were known some-
one could build a truck that would just fit them.
%T> % > ag Well someone has—a truck that fits every farm condition—

Chassis complete with
front fenders, platform, The Samson Truck will go thru mud, snow, deep sand, plowed
bumper, seat, seat cush- ground, soft stubble, pastures and slews. Nothing prevents its

care of that.
And body and load weight in this truck is distributed evenly
