Although It Is In two reels, it Is said to pack a houseful of laughs

closeup. .. . . Chaplin- appears in one of his In
Jmitable ' laborer roles, looking forward to pay day with the same
anxious, face with which an expecJant parent waits for the doctor to fay: "It's a boy." His comedy carries the story at a Bwift pace from p. huge construction plant where a f kyscraper - la being - erected and finally to the haunts of the tenderJoin where the workers hang out on pay day, and finally home to the wife. From each set the star obtains '& maximum of fun at a minimum of apparent effort. Miriam Cooper, feminine Btar of R. A. Walsh's colorful photoplay of Spanish life, "Serenade," a First National attraction to be shown at the Murrette theatre Sunday, has given tip her New York home and hereafter will live in Los Angeles. Miss fcooper prefers the Sunny Southland city to all others and she has seen most of them. Producer Walsh, who In real life Is Mirriam Cooper's husband, likes Los Angeles better than Ts'ew York for a different reason. That Is because In California he ha3 plenty of room to make his pictures.
