Empress
mats:10¢-25¢ evgs:10¢ 35¢
The "Karnos" are coming to the Empress this week, led by the inimitable Charles Chaplin and a company of 14 with the talented Alf Reeves in the managerial role in "A Night in a London Club." This means six days of boisterous fun in prospect commencing with next Monday's matinee.
This is the Karno company's fifth tour of the Sullivan and Considine circuit with these talented and clever English comedians.
Charles Chaplin, who always portrays the very funny role of the inebriated gentleman of the productions, has a personal following that is always and most effusive and warm in its greeting.
The types of the characters in the"London Club" production are well drawn, and are almost Dickenesque in their fidelity to well-known familiar types of the middle class. The scene depicts "Ladies Night" at the Bumblers Angling Society.
Charles Chaplin, who portrays the role of Archie, the pugnacious drunk in Karnos' "A Night in a London Pub" has a very keen sense of humor, but up to two years ago had a very hazy idea of the Dominion of Canada.
"I was rather green when I first saw Canada," said Mr. Chaplin, "and I had to stand for no end of joking. Coming over on the ship for the first time a few years ago I met a very nice chap from Winnipeg. He was a joker, you know, and took advantage of my gullibility to chaff me unmercifully. A few hours before we landed in Montreal, he said, 'Now Chaplin, old boy, I want you to run out to Winnipeg on Sunday and meet the wife.' I told him I would be delighted. Sunday afternoon I togged up a bit and ambled to the railroad station, where I asked for a round trip to Winnipeg. The clerk handed me about a yard or two of paper and calmly asked for a wad that sounded like a small fortune.'You've misunderstood me', I said;adding, 'I want to run over to Winnipeg and back.'
'How long do you think it will take you?' asked the station clerk.
'Oh, about 40 minutes or so,' I replied.
'You'll get there Tuesday night,' he said.
They revived me a few hours later, and then I sauntered over to the telegraph office and wired this to my Winnipeg comedian: 'Sorry I can't come; am running over to San Francisco to spend the evening with my aunt.'
