CHARLIE CHAPLIN AGAIN.
NATIONAL'S FINE PROGRAMME
The National Theatre's holiday film fare, commencing to-morrow, is headed by Charlie Chaplin's excellent comedy "City Lights," which was released throughout the world som6 time ago after two years' preparation, fulfiljiftg the famous comedian's promise never to assist in the production of a talking picture. He takes the central rol6 of a derclict in the city, who concentrates his attentions upon providing for the happiness of a blind flower-selldr in the streets of a large metropolis. His enormous, turne<l-up feet, his inimitable walk, his bamboo cane, battered derby, ill-fitting coat and baggy trousers —all indispensable parts of the Chaplin make-up—are seen to their best advantage. Virginia Cherrill plays the appealing part of the blind flowergirl. The other picture the National is offering is "Three Live Ghosts," which attained local fame by being selected as the vehicle to open the new Civic Theatre.
