& A general denial has been made
that all of the Essanay companies operating at Niles, Cal., were
leaving that studio station for good. The Charles
Chaplin Co., moving to Los Angeles, gave rise to the rumor.
The Chaplins are being directed by Chaplin.
It‘s not likely there will be any director over Chaplin.

„So far beyond the limit that it is out of sight“
Editorial content. „Advertising for Exhibitors
Conducted by Epes Winthrop Sargent“ (...)
„Honest Now.
Honest and true, now, what do you think of this for a nice,
tactful Lenten advertisement:
Friday
Chas. Chaplin in The Champion
and The Passion Play or The Life of Christ, 4 Acts
Thet is the Good Friday advertising of a New Jersey exhibitor.
We could express an opinion of the managerial ability
of an exhibitor who does such things, only this paper has to go
through the mails. Even a light comedy would be out
of place, but a Chaplin farce billed above the Passion play
is so far beyond the limit that it is out of sight.“ (...)
Redaktioneller Inhalt. Als „weit unter der Grenze“ rügt
Epes Winthrop Sargent in seiner Rubrik Advertising for Exhibitors
die Programmgestaltung eines Kinobetreibers in New Jersey,
der Karfreitag Charles Chaplin in The Champion zusammen mit
The Passion Play or The Life of Christ gezeigt hat. „Das ist
die Art von Ding, welche die Feindschaft der Kirchenleute wachruft.“
