& Chaplin a Genius?

      London, September 15. – In a serious, scholarly, psychological analysis of Charlie Chaplin, an English writer brands

„Charlie of the Movies“ a „highly emotional actor; not a clown,

but an artist; not a comedian, but a genius.

(...) Tacoma Times, Tacoma, Washington, Sept. 15, 1915 

& AN APPEAL FOR FAIR PLAY

      Because of letters of protest received from numerous

exhibitors who secured from so-called film exchanges

the conglomerations entitled Charles Chaplin in „The Mix-Up,“

Ambition“ and „The Review,“ Mr. Chaplin again wishes

to warn the public in general, in the exhibitors in particular, that

neither he nor the Essanay company is responsible

for these patched-up films. (...)

„With ice cream and tomatoes“

Editorial content. „A Night in the Show – (Two Reels) –

Essanay – November 15. – Featuring Charles Chaplin, who

attends a show in a double role, that of a ,swell´ in evening

clothes in the dress circle and a rowdy in the gallery. His seat

in the second row doesn‘t satisfy him and he moves

to the front, where the orchestra leader strikes him with his

baton and a free-for-all fight is started. He is hurled into

the lobby where he bumps into a fat woman and knocks her into

a fountain. Later while sitting in a box he falls asleep and

several snakes from the ,charmer‘s‘ basket nest in his lap. In the

gallery Chaplin, the rowdy, bombards a couple of singers with

ice cream and tomatoes. Chaplin in the box, with the assistance

of a fat boy, besmirches the singers with cakes. When the

fire eater makes his appearance, Chaplin, the rowdy, turns the

hose on him, while Chaplin the ,swell‘ gets a ducking,

as does most of the audience, which breaks up the show.“
