Editorial content. „Freuler announces
,The Adventurer.‘
Next Chaplin Picture Now Ready for Distribution
by Mutual.
THE ADVENTURER,‘ next of the Chaplin-Mutual specials,
will be released October 22. This announcement
was made by John R. Freuler, president of the Mutual Film
Corporation, upon receipt of a telegram from Los
Angeles, announcing that the film, completed after weeks of
delay, was on its way to the Mutual‘s executive offices
in Chicago.
The Adventurer has met with innumerable adventures in
the course of its completion. Just as the final scenes
were about to be shot Mr. Chaplin was taken ill. He was well
enough to appear in the studio for only a few days
when Edna Purviance, his leading woman, was forced to go
to the hospital for two weeks. After the last scenes
were finished and Mr. Chaplin began his task of cutting the
20,000 feet down to 2,000, it was found that certain
of the scenes, destined to remain in the film, were not done
to the satisfaction of the comedian and he ordered
retakes.
The Adventurer portrays Mr. Chaplin in the bestriped garb
of a convict, and many of the most comical situations
in the film occur during his pursuit by the prison deputies over
the Sierra Madras.“
