EMPIRE
CHARLIE IN “THE CIRCUS”
“The Circus,” starring Charlie Chaplin, will be shown to-night at the Empire Theatre.
In this production Chaplin displays all his characteristics of old—the worn, battered bowler hat, the twirling cane,
the huge shoes in which he is forced to shuffle along, and the expressive moustache. In this circus story, Chaplin plays the part of an unfortunate who is out of work and unknowingly becomes the accomplice of a pickpocket. He escapes
arrest by his ingenuity and obtains
work as handy man in a circus, where lie falls in love with the owner’s daughter. A new performer in the person of a handsome young man joins the company. The girl falls in love with him, not knowing of Charlie’s deep affection for her.
“The Count of Ten,” a thrilling boxing story, starring Charles Ray, will also be shown.
