Charlie Chaplin Comedy—Edith Tali
aferro, Romance.
A drama of romantic youth, feat
uring Edith Taliaferrro in “Young
Romance,” is one of the .offerings at
the E n >ress theatre this Tuesday and
Wednesday, February 6 and 7.
Miss (Taliaferro portrays the char
acter of Nellie Nolan, who presides
over the notion counter in a depart
ment store. Visions of “society life”
and living like a “real lady" occupy
her mind more than the sales at the
notion counter, and she determines to
attempt “high living” at a fashionable
summer resort during her vacation.
This she does, posing as a well known
girl of wealth. This is a brief outline
of the story which is interesting in
every detail, all of which is vividly
portrayed in the moving picture.
The moment Miss Taliaferro re
turns to her notion counter after her
thrilling experience, the inimitable
Charlie Chaplin appears before you in
his latest, “The Floorwalker.” In
language of the street, “nuf sed.”
Charlie is here with a great one this
time. 398
