„When the action gets under way and the old Chaplin stuff crops out“
Editorial content. „The Count.
Here you are, step right up and get the old original Charlie
Chaplin! The real thing, Charlie Chaplin in all his glory,
with all of his tricks, sliding, slapstick, pie throwing, sloppy table
stuff, cane tricks and his kicks. What more could any
one ask? The picture is a little slow at the opening, the comedian
having relied on Morton and Moore‘s measuring bit for
for his opening scene and not getting much out of it. But later
when the action gets under way and the old Chaplin
stuff crops out there will be a lot of laughs for the picture. The
Count is one of the new Mutuals. Fred.“

Alan Nevins & Henry Steele Commager, The Pocket History
of the United States, New York 1942: „In the presidential elections
of 1916 Wilson was successful, largely because he had ,kept
us out of war.‘“
He Kept Us out of War. That´s his campaign slogan.
The fighting in Europe dominates the campaign. Woodrow Wilson campaigns for re-election on a pledge of continued neutrality
in the World War One
Election night is on November 7, 1916. The electoral vote
is one of the closest in American history – with 266 votes needed
to win, Wilson takes 30 states for 277 electoral votes, while
Hughes wins 18 states and 254 electoral votes.
After the sinking of seven U.S. merchant ships by submarines
and the publication of the Zimmerman telegram, Wilson
calls for war on Germany, which the U.S. Congress declares
on April 6, 1917.
Am 28. Juli 1914 hat der Erste Weltkrieg begonnen –
„the european war“ wird er oft in amerikanischen Zeitungen
vorerst noch genannt. Am 7. November 1916 gewinnt
US-Präsident Wilson die Wiederwahl. Sein Slogan –
He kept us out of war – ist erfolgreich. Am 6. April 1917 ruft
Wilson aber zum Krieg gegen Deutschland auf.
