.**■**•• FOLEY’S PICTURES. It CHARLES CHAPLIN IN A 6000fi. COMEDY. “Six reels of Charles Chaplin” fittingly describes the big Keystone farce comedy “Tillie’s Punctured Romance, - ' which attracted a full house last night at His Majesty Theatre on its initial appearance. Miss Marie Dressier, a weighty comedienne of a rollicking type, takes the part of Tillie. a country maiden, who makes a chance acquaintance with Charlie Chaplin, a city Romeo. ‘Charlie Chaplin and Marie Dressier make a sensational jump into the film at the very start, and if at any moment there seems an insufficienty of disturbance the pair sail right in to rectify the matter. Of the hundred and one scenes which follow in rapid sucession, perhaps the most, laughable is the ballroom scene in which a chase culminates at the end of a pier, where Tillie falls into the sea. There is a positive whirlwind of excitement at this—the (dimax of a most laughable play. Police, in a Hying motor-car, a 25-miles an hour police launch, a surf-boat that performs gymnastic feats, and the thrilling rescue of Tillie are the concluding incidents. “Tillie’s Punctured Romance” will bo shown again to-night.
