" Keep Moving." TTARRY WATSON, of Bickel and Watson, is chief funmaker in "Keep Moving," a rollicking comedy on the slapstick order put out by George Kleine. He has a competent support, including his partner, George Bickel, Cissie Fitzgerald, Alma Hanlon and Tom Nawn, and between them they manage to keep events rolling right along all during the show. It is a five-reel comedy, and while it is uneven in spots, there are enough laughs to give one the money's worth during the picture. Musty Suffer is a princeling of restless disposition, who yearns to see the world. He finds a lucky horseshoe, which brings him a fairy godfather, who changes him into an optimistic tramp and bids him roam the world until he is weary, under the name of Musty Suffer. He encounters burglars, police, mad maids and cheap lodging houses without impairing his curiosity or his sense of humor. His comedy is genuine and keeps one amused even during the long five-reel show. Watson does not try to hog the show, but gives every one of his support a chance for applause and appreciation, which is not usual, even in the motion pictures. KLEINE THE PRINCE HAS BEEN" CHANGED TO A TRAMP Musty Suffer (Harry Watson) seeks to satisfy his curiosity about the world and wanders happily about until he grows sleepy. He knows no limitations and walks into the bridal chamber of a beautiful home and proceeds to take a nap. YOU SEE WHY HE SMILES IN HIS SI I 1 P. His dreams are pleasant ones. Beer kegs follow him into his bathroom and make complete arrangements for his comfort while there. Anxious lest he waken before his thirst is quenched, Musty Suffer luxuriates in the cooling liquid that foams but does not materialize and exhibits a seemingly inexhaustible capacity. WW c\ i\ \ \ "I'LL PUT YOUSE TO SLEEP. BO." Musty Suffer tries a cheap lodging house, but complains to the attendant that he cannot sleep because his roommates snore. The attendant kindly offers to put him to sleep quietly. This scene always is sure of a laugh, though the humor is frankly of the slapstick variety.
