& CHAPLIN DENIES RUMORS
Famous Essanay Comedian Thoroughly Satisfied
With Present Surroundings and Has
No Thought of Joining Other Companies
Charles Chaplin, Essanay comedian, whose latest comedy,
„Shanghaied,“ has just been completed, denounces the
reports that he is planning to leave Essanay as „vain imaginings.“
It is stated both on the authority of George K. Spoor,
president of Essanay and Mr. Chaplin himself, that he will
continue with Essanay indefinitely.
„There have been many ridiculous rumors circulated about
my leaving Essanay which was news to me,“ said Mr.
Chaplin. „One story I read said I was going into vaudeville
on Broadway; another that I was going with other
film companies.
„There is no truth in any of them. I am engaged under
a long term contract with the Essanay company and
as far as I am concerned I intend to remain with it, and to produce
no pictures for any other concern nor go on the stage.
„Not only am I under contract, but my associations with the
Essanay company has been the most cordial and pleasant.
Mr. Spoor and myself are in perfect harmony in regard to the work
so why should I leave, even if I had no contract?
„I don‘t know where these rumors start unless they come
from rival concerns. There is just as much truth in them
as the reports circulated that I was dead, insane, crippled and
otherwise incapacitated. I would like to settle once and
for all the fact that I am producing the Essanay-Chaplin brand
of pictures and no others, and will continue to do so.“

„Makes Himself a Present.
There is a rumor that Charlie Chaplin,
following the close of his contract
with the Essanay, is to open a studio of his own.“

Alan Nevins & Henry Steele Commager, The Pocket History
of the United States, New York 1942: „In the presidential elections
of 1916 Wilson was successful, largely because he had ,kept
us out of war.‘“
He Kept Us out of War. That´s his campaign slogan.
The fighting in Europe dominates the campaign. Woodrow Wilson campaigns for re-election on a pledge of continued neutrality
in the World War One
Election night is on November 7, 1916. The electoral vote
is one of the closest in American history – with 266 votes needed
to win, Wilson takes 30 states for 277 electoral votes, while
Hughes wins 18 states and 254 electoral votes.
After the sinking of seven U.S. merchant ships by submarines
and the publication of the Zimmerman telegram, Wilson
calls for war on Germany, which the U.S. Congress declares
on April 6, 1917.
Am 28. Juli 1914 hat der Erste Weltkrieg begonnen –
„the european war“ wird er oft in amerikanischen Zeitungen
vorerst noch genannt. Am 7. November 1916 gewinnt
US-Präsident Wilson die Wiederwahl. Sein Slogan –
He kept us out of war – ist erfolgreich. Am 6. April 1917 ruft
Wilson aber zum Krieg gegen Deutschland auf.
