„We are all feverishly awaiting the result of Charlie‘s
new line of work, the dramatic-comedy, the first
of which is released here to-morrow (Monday) – it is the one
I have mentioned, The Bank. So much adverse
criticism has cropped up among the public of U.S.A, (which
is inclined to be very Puritanical) about some of the
„naughty“ little incidents in certain of Charlie‘s comedies, that
he has decided to turn his attention to a much
more legitimate line of work – viz., dramatic stories in which
he, in comedy vein, pulls off all the rescues, traps,
the thieves, and so on. The Bank, we think, will be his biggest
success, for our head office in Chicago wired him,
directly it saw the production: „Congratulations to Charles
Chaplin and Company on The Bank. It is a bear!“
This is the first time he has received one of these. He was
so pleased with himself and us that nothing could
be wrong that day!
