The Count Clippings 28/50
Motography, Chicago, Illinois, September 23, 1916
„The voice of his followers“
Editorial content. „They Welcome Those Chaplin Pants
The sensitive ear of a short grass congressman
listening to his constituency just before election time is nothing
at all to the way Charles Chaplin tunes his hearing
to the voice of his followers. His latest picture, The Count,
released by the Mutual Film Corporation, in which
Charlie returns to his famous make-up, consisting mostly
of moustache, cane, pants and shoes, is an answer
to ,the voice of the people.‘
It seems a safe statement to say that no previous Chaplin
picture has ever received such unanimous approval
from the public as has The Count. The expressions of the trade
critics and the photoplay editors of the daily press
are for once in harmony and unanimous. Here are some
of the expressions of the daily press:
Chicago Tribune (...) Mr. Chaplin has his capacity
for serious playing, but he is foremost as a clown and here
he clowns superbly.
Minneapolis News – Charlie Chaplin comes
to the New Aster for a full week‘s run Monday in The Count,
a screaming two-reel Chaplin-Mutual comedy.
Minneapolis Star – Returning to his old make-up and
the slap stick variety of comedy that first made him
famous as the only Chaplin, the inimitable Charlie as a bogus
count undergoes a number of exceedingly funny
adventures in a burlesque sort of high life in his latest
picture.“ (...)
