Griffith in his “Greatest Question” presents a tremendous problem for the thinker, he has above all made a wonderful, thrilling entertainment out of the story of simple people. It is his contribution to the burning topic of the hour, the great mystery that has engrossed more writers, thinkers and speakers than ajiy other since the world began—Do the dead return from the grave? Griffith’s answer is his production of “The Greatest Question.” This great picture alone is a generous entertainment, but in addition a further attraction is provided in Charlie. Chaplins milliota dollar comedy. “A Day’s Pleasure,” one that is calculated to bring roars of laughter from a house composed entirely of sphinxes. As the head of the household, consisting of a plump little wife and two chubby miniatures of himself, and with the aid of the family auto, a Ford, and a weird one at that,' which “auto” go and mere often won’t, Charlie is supreme. From the moment he cranks up his ram'ly conveyance until he returns homo, leaving a wild trail of disaster behind him. l»e is simply irresistible. A whole day s round of whimsical absurdities, all the funnier because they are so probable, crowded into 30 minutes of uncontrollable laughter, will furnish enough food for humor to last many a long day. The l>ox plan is now open at Humphrey’s. Usual prices will be charged for this big double feature programme. Children half price.
