      Charlie Chaplin, the famous $600,000 comedian, will be seen

for the first time in Boston in his very newest picture,

„Charlie Chaplin‘s Burlesque on Carmen,“ exclusively at the

Boston Theatre this week. The management of the

Boston Theatre, following its custom of presenting the features

first, has secured the exclusive rights to the first

presentation in Boston of this new Charlie Chaplin picture,

the first to be released in several months. it will

be shown at the Boston Theatre the entire week of April 17.

„Carmen,“ as burlesqued by Charlie Chaplin, is in

four parts. It is the longest Chaplin comedy ever made, and

is described as one solid hour of laughter. Chaplin

appears as Don Jose, the swashbuckling dragoon, who falls

a victim to the wiles of Carmen, the gypsy girl, only

to be in his turn jilted by her for a toreador. Chaplin appears

in military uniform, with sword, helmet and all the

equipment of a Spanish soldier. He eats beans with his sword,

fights a duel and performs all manner of uproariously

funny stunts.
