AMUSEMENTS.

FOLEY'S PICTURES. CHARLES CHAPLIN. To-night :iL His Majesty’s Tiieatre, the famed Charles Chaplin will appear in his latest creation entitled “The Shopwalker.” The Auckland “Herald” said:—“The Charlie Chaplin picture, “The Shopwalker" tells how the inimitable Charlie makes the most of opportunities as “Czar of the Aisles” in a big store where there is plenty of scope for fun-making. If this, his latest comic, is to be taken as an indication of Ids form, probably the prodigious salary which he is reported to he collecting from his new employers has also something to do with his increased genius for doing funny things. He succeeds in introducing a great number of new and eccentric happenings that keep the house ringing with laughter. One of the cleverest is a moving stair-case., which travels upwards. Charlie tries to run down it, and the effecjt is too funny for words! The scene is something quite new in film comedy. Charlie as a Shopwalker, is funnier than ho has been in most of Ids other character sketches, and this, his latest offering to Ins admirers, will probably result in a big increase in the number of Ids followers. A company of capable artists appear with Chaplin, the most attractive of them being Edna Purviance.
