It’s a Riot of Hilarity—A Step ahead of any Comedy Yoii’ve Seen! IN “THE MISSING LINK” -A MASTER PICTUREWill make you SHAKE! SHIVERS SHOUT with Laughter . Syd. Chaplin’s latest, “The Missing Link” is a riot. A good old-fashioned slambang burlesque where trousers are lost, labels accidentally pasted on prominent portions of the anatomy, paste buckets and brushes applied ad lib and stuffed clubs wielded with deadly effect to the humorous sensibilities of the audience. The picture has the distinction of being utterly devoid of any subtlety. Nothing is suggested. Everything is shouted. Each laugh is pounded home with the same lusty, red-blooded vehemence with which “Akka” slams the unprotected dome of his brother Dromeo. It will be of course at the — MAJESTIC A FULLER-HAY WARD THEATRE Where it Commences its Hilarious Career NEXT FRIDAY, JANUARY 27th. Continuous Sessions Daily from 11 a.m. During its run on Broadway, New York, “The Missing Link” broke every record that had been established, even some of those previously established by Syd. Chaplin in “The Better ’Ole.” During the first week “The Missing Link” was witnessed by over fifty thousand people. When a picture can attract over 300,000 people to see it within a period of two months it must be some picture. Syd. Chaplin in “The Missing Link” has started the whole world laughing and promises to keep it laughing for some time to come.
