Editorial content. „KARNO‘S LONDON COMPANY

      MAKES VAUDEVILLE HIT

      Empress Presents Well Balanced Bill

      of Seven Acts All Well Received

      Featuring Fred Karno‘s London pantomime company

in A Night in an English Music Hall, in which are

a dozen performers, Sulllivan & Considine presented a bill

of seven acts at the Empress yesterday that

is easily one of the best balanced and most meritorious

performances given at the Spring street vaudeville

house in many weeks.

      Almost every act is a feature, the audience bestowing its

favors alike between the headliner and the other acts.

      In the music hall turn, a burlesque of vaudeville acts

is presented, the principal funmaker, however, being

Charles Chaplin as the inebriated swell occupying one of the

boxes. His pantomimic comedy kept yesterday‘s

audiences convulsed.“ (...)

      From clippings of the Museum of Modern Art, New York –

      Photoplay, undated, handwritten 1982 by Fritz Hirzel:

      „To tell the truth he was simply a riot. In Los Angeles

      especially, he made an immense hit. The word flew around the

      ,wise alleys‘ to ,go over to the Empress and see the drunk.

      He‘ll kill you sure.‘“
