CHARLIE CHAPLIN AS "THE COUNT TO-NIG'HT. • Count Charles Spencer Chaplin, better known, perhaps, as "Charlie," will be seen in his latest Mutual comedy, "The Count," at Everybody's to-night. Not many people know that Chaplin may put the letters K-.C.M.G. after his name, but it's a fact, the said letters signifying "King of the Chaplin Mutual Oiggleworks." Like all noblemen, he loves his game of golf, so when he espies some balls of cream on the top of big cake he cannot, resist the temptation to show his skill. Using his cane as a club, he perforins some great tee shots, and also succeeds iji playing through his opponents. The only happening that disconcerted Charles during his invasion of Society was the action of a fellow aristocrat. Eeing one of the recipients of the creamy matter, the latter deemed it necessary to remonstrate with the golfer. Charlie took offence at this, and delivered a smart tap to the jaw. The other, retaining his self-command, deliberately threw the contents of his wine glass into Charlie's face. This puzzled Charlie considerably, but his his active brain soon conceived a suitable method of retaliation. He lifted his huge wine bowl off the table and soaked the aristocrat from head to foot. Only one thing marred Charlie's first meal in society. 'lt was the watermelon. Another little thing that annoyed him was that he could not hear what Edna Purviance was saying on account of the noise Campbell made when consuming his soup. But thes? little things were easily discounted by the enjoyment he derived from watching Campbell eat spaghetti. The manner in which the latter paused when about two inches of spaghetti hung out of his mouth and then drew it in with lightning speed when the little comedian endeavored to capture the protruding ends held, great fascination for Charlie. "The Count" will entertain at Everybody's to-night and to-morrow only..
