THOSE who laughed and wept at the ' silent version of this Chaplin film will find its emotion-stirring qualities as lively as ever in this release which is highlighted by a musical score and narrated by Mr. Chaplin himself. Referring always to himself as "The little fellow," Chaplin explains the adventures of the little tramp through the gold-mad Klondike, his hunger and dilemma when his starving cabin partner mistakes him for a chicken, their feast of a boiled shoe, his love for the dance-hall girl, his famous dance of the rolls, his heartaches and disappointments.

Harold Huber, gangster promoter of the real night-club singer, Ruth Terry, kind of messes up the plans and, well, you take it up from there. Jerry Lester has what is meant to be a comedy role. Skinnay Ennis and his band furnish the music. Your Reviewer Says: Phooey to such hooey! Man With Two Lives (Monogram) It's About: A man who awakens from apparent death with another man's soul. D EALLY this is too much. We refuse "* to believe a young man, Edward Norris in this case, can awaken from a deathlike stupor following an accident to be possessed with the soul of a gangster who was executed at the exact moment of Norris' lapse into unconsciousness. Anyway, Norris, a hitherto nice lad, takes over the gangster's activities and his girl, Mario Dwyer, to the horror of his father, Frederick Burton, and fiancee Eleanor Lawson. We were surprised to see Norris dead or alive, villain or hero. We thought he'd gone to the army ages ago. Your Reviewer Says: Make them stop scaring us. Who Is Hope Schuyler?
