It's a soldier film, "Shoulder Arms," a burlesque on trench life. One produc- er ,a long time ago discovered that Charlie Chaplin had a gift for making pathos humorous in a kindly human sort of way, and "Shoulder Arms" has a strong strain of that type of humor. It keeps the picture from being offen- sive or shocking to anyone, no matter how sad may be his thoughts concern- ing the war. It's a good, healthy pro- jection of the fine, fun loving spirit of the Yankee soldier. Pathos and Charlie Chaplin may sound somewhat like a combination of grape fruit and milk punch-incongruous-but it is there. Charlie brings the first laughs by getting those feet of his tangled up while trying, as a recruit, to pivot. He reaches the trenches, crawls into a dugout, and with great care affixes a nutmeg grater to the wall so that he may scratch his back and disturb the cooties with the minimum of ef- fort and the maximum of efficiency. He camouflages himself as a tree, and bewilders a German officer into shooting and stabbing an entire for- est. He-but space is limited and it would only spoil the show, any- Way, to try to describe all the an- tics of this comedian par excellence. The film attracted soldiers many of whom had seen overseas service and those with the actual trench ex- perience enjoyed the fun more thant The Arcade announces some special attractions for the Christmas holidays. Among the stars to be seen are: Ma- bel Normand in "A Perfect 36" an es- pecially good comedy, on Sunday and Monday; Ethel Clayton in "A Soul Without Windows," on Tuesday; Nor- ma Talmadge in "Her Only Way" on Wednesday*and Thursday; a return engagement of Rex Beach's "Laughing Bill Hyde," featuring Will Rogers, and Alice Joyce in "Everybody's Girl" on Saturday.
