& „To compare him with Charlie Chaplin, as you do, suggests
more contrast than genuine comparison. John Barrymore,
after only three appearances on the screen, is to-day more popular
than Charles Chaplin can ever hope to be.

& Charlie‘s Tootsies Again.
Again, Mr. Chaplin‘s feet – those $10,000 feet and then
some. Recently this champion funmaker turned down
– per pressure – that $10,000 offer of the New York Madison
roof garden for a fortnight‘s appearance.
Today along comes a note from Essanay‘s organ
of publicity weaving a fancy little yarn concerning
the company‘s gift of a check more than doubling the sum
to the of the feet.

& In the struggle to stem the
overwhelming success of the motion picture, managers
are now arranging to reproduce some of them
on the regular stage. The first experiment is to be a copy
of Charlie Chaplin‘s work. This would seem

„He has to keep out of sight“
Editorial content. „Doings at Los Angeles.“ (...)
„Charlie Chaplin is being besieged by auto salesmen
and a hundred other sort of pests these days, since the
Essanay has established its studio here. He has to keep out
of sight most of the time and shunt the money getters
onto his director, Jesse J. Robbins. The company has just
finished a new thousand-foot comedy, By the Sea,
and it is a scream.“ (...) „Clarke Irvine.“
Redaktioneller Inhalt. Die Kurzmeldung gilt der Rückkehr von
Chaplin nach Los Angeles. „Charles Chaplin wird in diesen
Tagen belagert von Autoverkäufern, Grundstückmaklern
und hundert anderen Arten von Plagegeistern, seit die Essanay
ihr Studio hier eingerichtet hat. Er hat sich die meiste
Zeit ausser Sichtweite aufzuhalten und verweist die Geldjäger
an seinen Direktor, Jesse J. Robbins. Die Company
hat soeben eine neue Tausend Fuss Comedy, By The Sea,
vollendet, und die ist ein Brüller.“
