EVERYBODY'S.

T.AST XinllT OF CHARLIE CHA'PiLTX i AS "THE COUNT." The popularity of Charles Chaplin, indubitably the world's greatest cinema comedian, shows 110 signs of abatement, and the announcement that he woiiij. appear in the leading role of the tworeel Mutual comedy, "The Count," at Everybody's Theatre last night drew a crowded house. It has been said that some of Chaplin's recent comedies showed signs of frequent repetition of his old-time "stunts," but it is impossible to level the same charm? at "The Count.'' Tt is bubbling over with riotous mirth from start to finish, and the almost continuous outbursts of irrepressible laughter place the film as one of Chaplin's greatest triumphs. There is a genuine plot which shows how Chaplin palms himself upon society as a count.,' but when the genuine nobleman arrives 011 the scene Charles "beats it" as fast as his legs can take him. The antics of Chaplin while dining at a fashionable bouse and bis grotesque dancing fe'f a tango on an exceedingly slippery floor are indescribably ludicrous. There are a numbei of splendid supporting pictures, including a Blue Ribbon feature,, "The Making of Geoffrey Manning." Tonight will he the last occasion that "The Count" .and supporting programme will be shown. To-morrow tncre will be a complete change of program me, when two big feature films will lie screened. Theda°Bara will appear in the brilliant Fox feature, "Carmen," and there is also a Vitagraph Blue Ribbon feature, "The Hero of"Submarine 1)2." This programme win be screened Tor three nights.
