slapstick comedians on the screen. (...) 1. Charles
Chaplin; 2. Ford Sterling; 3. Chester Conklin and Syd Chaplin;
-
4.Roscoe Arbuckle; 5. Billy Ritchie. (...)
It seems to be a habit with all the comedians to claim
that they played in „A Night in an English Music Hall.“
Here are the names of the ones that really appeared in that
comedy: Billie Reeves, Charlie Chaplin, James Aubrey
and Billie Ritchie.

„Having far outstripped the popular Bunny“
Editorial content. „BEAUTY IN THE SUMMER MUSICAL PLAYS“ (...)
„Charles Chaplin, who is just now the dominating
figure on the films, having far outstripped the popular Bunny,
was for several years employed in the vaudeville act
managed by one Karno and called A Night in an English Music Hall.
Chaplin was the incorrigible rummy who staggered about
from one box to the other to the discomfiture of the other guests.
It was his ability as a mirth provoker in this sketch which
suggested his possibilities as a figure on the screen. The judgement
of the men who selected him has been splendidly justified
as there is nobody so much applauded on the screen to-day
as Mr. Chaplin. He is English and is one of several actors
who appeared in the part of the comic drunk in this little play.“
