& Soldiers Scream At Chaplin

      The Liberty at Camp Mills (L. I.)

opened last Thursday playing almost entirely

to returned soldiers.

      A vaudeville show started with the Chaplin „Shoulder

Arms“ comedy as the attraction. The men went

wild over the Chaplin picture.

      Sunday a bunch of men who landed the day before

filled the house and so insistent were they that

the Chaplin film, with which the show started, had to be run

over a second time before the show was over. The

men started screaming when the picture showed a frog

jumping from Chaplin‘s toe.

      The bill appeared under the management

of George Sammis.

„So on fine nights they set up the apparatus outdoors“

Editorial content. „,Smileage‘

      You never heard of a city of 40,000 population without

a picture theatre. Well, the army cantonments

are cities with an average population of about 40,000.

      Sometimes the picture theatre has walls and

a roof. Sometimes there isn‘t enough room, so on fine nights

they set up the apparatus outdoors, Mother Earth

furnishing chairs.“
