In his own comedies Chaplin has | reached the zenith of acting artistry, | and in addition to this achievement | he has always inculcated a different | artistry--that of creation--but al- ways he has had to be in front of the | camera himself, and in contributing | his own action, was prevented from | giving to the public that philosophy, | beauty and drama which must of ne: | cessity be limited in comedy. | In his latest picture Mr. Chaplin | has put himself for the first time, | Not his physical body on view, but | from his mentality and his heart he! {has fashioned a vehicle that inter-| prets his feelings of life. The result | Is rapidly "being acclaimed by critics | as a creation of sheer genius that | will find a place among the high- | lights of all screen portrayals | Chaplin has blazed a trail among! new methods of treatment that will find many followers. His story structure defies all rules laid down by literary and screen writing auth- orities, yet in the finished form presents a simple, cohesive. tale 'hat unwinds just as easily as any nurs- ery rhyme, despite the fact that in every gesture it carries a depth of| feeling that can only be plumbed | anf appreciated in its fullest many | hours after one has seen the picture. | Chaplin has managed to express | himself through other actors in A way that is remarkable.

"WEST OF THE WATER TOWER" Supporting Gien Hunter in his] first Paramount picture, "West of the Water Tower," at the Capitol theatre, Friday and Saturday, are three of jthe screens best known character players, Ernest Torrence, George Fawcett and Zasu Pitts. All three have roles 1n this picture which give them an opportunity for some of the best work of thely careers. Mr. Torrence, who in "a little more than a year has become one of the most sought after charac- ter actors In pictures, has the rol of Adrian Plummer, the orthodox minister. It is tar different from his Bill Jackson in "The Covered Wag. on," but he gives to the part a briy. lant and distinguished touch.
