HE EARNS A REST
CHARLIE CHAPLIN FiNISHES HIS
LAST MUTUAL PICTURE.
By Grace Kingsley.
Charlie Chaplin, the world‘s most famous film comedian,
has completed his last picture for the Mutual,
and will go to New York for a six weeks‘ vacation on next
Wednesday or Thursday. His last picture for the
Mutual was finished only last week, and Chaplin spent all
Sunday night cutting it. „The Adventurer,“ which
relates the story of the adventures of an escaped convict,
is said to be by far the best picture Chaplin has
ever made.
On his return Mr. Chaplin will commence work on his
first picture for the First National Exhibitors‘ League,
of which T. L. Tally is president, and last night expressed
himself as delighted with the prospect.
„I shall have eighteen months in which to make eight
pictures,“ said Chaplin, „which really means I may
complete them in twelve months, as one sometimes finds
it easier to do things in a short time in the world
at his disposal, than when he realizes he is going to work
when the whistle blows.“
While in the East Mr. Chaplin stated it was his intention
to secure a staff of writers.
„Too bad Mark Twain isn‘t alive,“ somebody
suggested.
„Well,“ laughed Chaplin, „I really believe I could
pay him.“
Mr. Chaplin has no one in mind at present, but will hold
communion with various writers while in the East.
His first picture for the National Exhibitors‘ League
will be a story of the underworld, according
to his present plans, and he means that it shall hold
the great human touch – the touch of which
he has been giving promise in all his later pictures.
„It will be a joy to work with the Exhibitors‘
League,“ said Mr. Chaplin, „as they are giving me free rein
to do as I please in regard to my stories.“
Two sites for a new studio are being considered
in Hollywood, and the studio will be built during Mr. Chaplin‘s
absence.
„I have many plans in regard to the studio,“ said
Chaplin, „but of one thing I am certain – I am
going to build a little bungalow, where I can work when
the mood strikes me.“

„Long before show time lines of eager fans lined up“
Editorial content. „Garrick.
Charlie Chaplin, the man who keeps greased the funnybone
of the world, is the attraction at the Garrick this coming
week in his newest Mutual-Chaplin picture, the last of the famous
$670,000 series. The Adventurer is its name, and those
who have seen it in pre-view say it is the best work the clever
little comedian has ever done. It opened at the Garrick
Saturday morning and long before show time lines of eager fans
lined up to exchange their dimes, nickels and quarters
for a million dollars worth of fun.“ (...)
