& Turns Down Offer
of $5,000 a Week
IT‘S a pity with popularity a person cannot put into
practical operation the dual personality stunt.
Here is Charles Chaplin, who in the last year has
slapsticked – or should it be slapstuck? – himself
into a household byword, the omnipresent subject of imitation
the country over, the highest paid comedian, the man
in original or celluloid representation in universal demand. You
cannot turn around anywhere – except in a cornfield –
without running into something Chaplinesque.
And here is Madison Square garden, New York, offering
George K. Spoor, president of the Essanay company,
which holds the exclusive contract on Mr. Chaplin‘s fun making
productivities, $10,000 for a two weeks‘ appearance
of the slapstick wizard.
And says Mr. George K. Spoor, ,I wouldn‘t let him
go if they offered $50,000.‘ That restraint
is necessary in order to keep up the supply of Chaplin
celluloidisms, for which there is at present
such public clamor.
That‘s the hardship phase of popularity – to be able
to be only onewhere at a time in the original.
