Winners of Puzzle Picture Contest
Drawing. In a canoe Charlie Chaplin and Chester Conklin. They
are fishing. A swan comes near in the water.
In the October issue we offered $5 in prizes for the
best title and description of this picture. In fifty words or less,
received on or before November 5, 1915. While the
answers came pouring in by the hundred, we were disappointed
to note how few people recognized the characters in the
drawing and the spirit of this picture. However, the judges have
decided to award the following prizes:
CHARLIE‘S REVENGE.
Conklin said to Charlie, „I‘ll take you out a-fishin,“
„Right,“ says Chaplin, with a grin; „that‘s just
what I‘ve been wishin‘.“
Out on the creek, a swan so slick
Approached them with a swish;
Charlie gave it all the worms,
That‘s why they caught no fish.

& „Charlie Chaplin‘s Burlesque on Carmen“ is to be
the next screen vehicle for the inimitable clown. More subtle
humor and less slapstick is promised.

& Charlie and Syd Incorporated?
Direct advices from the coast are that Charlie Chaplin‘s
Essanay connection is a matter of brevity. Information
in regard to his plans, as yet, is vague, though it is reported
that he and brother Syd will produce their
own pictures. Syd Chaplin has gone to New York.

Chicago Tribune, Dec. 31, 1915
„After they have ceased to control the picture star‘s services“
Editorial content. „CHAPLIN ON HIS OWN.
Essanay has been advertising Charlie Chaplin in the trade
papers of late in a burlesque on Carmen and requesting
exhibitors to watch for the release date. But up to the present
time no definite date has been set for its release.
It is reported that Chaplin is ,laying down‘ at Essanay,
which may account for the delay in the Carmen
picture. It is understood the comedian is waiting for his contract
with Essanay to expire, when he proposes to go in for
manufacturing on his own account, in conjunction with his
brother Syd, whose agreement with Triangle expires
about the same time.
That there is no diminution in Chaplin‘s popularity is shown
from the fact that the General Film has ordered
75 prints of the Carmen picture for New York City alone.
Essanay undoubtedly looks for the withdrawal
of Chaplin from them and are understood to have stored
up a lot of his pictures, which they will release
from time to time after they have ceased to control the picture
star‘s services.“
