To Charlie Chaplin this couple owe the success of their present of their present act. The boy is a dead ringer for the picture comedian and makes the most of it favorable this time. The stereotyped opening with a song is done with the boy in evening dress and the girl in an evening gown. A ballad is used by her, giving him opportunity to change to the Chaplin makeup. This is most minutely looked after and his appearance is exact. The usual by-play employed by the picture comedian is gone through. The girl comes in for some of the rough comedy. While the Chaplin craze is on, this turn will prosper and should stand a chance of getting a big time booking, but the death knell of this sort of impersonation may be sounded shortly.
