Editorial content. „He Comes in Stripes and We All
Go in Crowds to See Him
,THE ADVENTURER‘
With Charles Chaplin
Produced by Mutual
By Mae Tinée
Chaplinites may again purr cozily, for their redoubtable
hero is once more in evidence. As an escapee from
the penitentiary, wearing the sad garb of that institution, for
what offense we are not told, he has thrilling adventures
after the popular Chaplin fashion, with the assistance of the
popular Chaplin cast; chief among whom are
Miss Edna Purviance and the gigantic Eric Campbell.
–
It is the good fortune of Mr. Chaplin in this picture, after
having evaded the guards principally by dodging
in and out their legs, to come upon a gentleman in a boat
preparing to take a swim. While he is struggling
to get his shirt over his head it takes the hero not one moment
to divest himself of the stripes, switch to the bathing
suit – and, awa‘!
While swimming about, enjoying the nice cool water,
he comes upon Miss Purviance and mamma, about
to drown. He saves them and is taken to their home – the
honored guest, to be faced later by his picture
in the papers, and all those guards from whom he had just
so slipperily escaped. Also there is the beetle browed
Eric, suitor for the hand of the fair Edna, with whom he conducts,
during most of his visit a surreptitious kicking
match.
–
Personally I believe that I have seen Mr. Chaplin to better
advantage, or maybe I should say – taking better
advantage. However that may be, I can only reiterate that
those who have made devout study of the Chaplin
cult are better fitted to judge than I and if a perpetual ,Haw!
Haw!‘ is a sign the followers approve, then approve
they do of The Adventurer.“
