PEERLESS PICTURES.
SVD. CHAPLIN SPECIAL. At Woodstock to-morrow (Tuesday) evening, not Wednesday, and at Kokatalii on Friday (with a dance to follow) Peerless Pictures present “The Man on the Box.” the Warner Bros classic of the screen featuring S.vd Chaplin who impersonates a. flirtatious maid in one sequence, and is said to have plied up even a higher percentage of high voltage laughs than he did in his female disguise in “Charley’s Aunt.” Charles “Chuck” Reisner directed this picturisation of the well-known novel and play of Harold MncGrath. “The Man on the Box” is acknowledged as a novel as one of the gayest, deftest and smartest stories of a generation. Turned into a play with Henry Dixov in the title role, it delighted everybody. and still holds an outstanding
memory of charming merriment to thentre-g-ors. And now. as a photoplay with Syd Chaplin as the gentleman idler, who gets disguised as a cabman and as a housemaid in the fast, furious' complications of a rib-tickling 1 farce, it becomes one of the funniest pictures of the season. The screen’s funniest actress appears when Syd Chaplin put on female disguise. Von saw- him do it in “Charley's Aunt,” and you'll never forget it.
