Charlie Chaplin and a Pathe Cold
Rooster Play.
“The Precious Packet,” a Pathe
Gold Rooster play in five parts, feat
uring Ralph Kellard, supported bj
Lois Meredith and a cast of brilliant
stars is the photo play to be present
ed at the Empress theatre this Tues
day and Wednesday, May 1 and 2
The story has to do with one Nigel
Stuart, a young Englishman, who per
forms an unusual service for his coun
try in safeguarding a precious packet
the contents of which are unknown tc
him and which is not to be opened be
fore a set date. Canadian officials
and a woman figure prominently in
the play, and the woman and Nigel
Stuart, as may be imagined, are the
hero and heroine, and at;e married as
the play ends happily.
In addition to “The Precious Pack
et,” the great comedian, Charlie
Chaplin, will appear in “One A. M.,’
j in which situations most comical are
pictured. During these scenes, as
you may well imagine, Charlie has
the opportunity of his life for some
excruciatingly funny business. It is
a typical “Chaplin” subject and Char
lie makes the most of it, the result
: being a riot of fun and hilarity from
! the opening to the finish. The Fun
I Maker Supreme was never better
than he is in “One A. M.” 932
