Editorial content. „Australian Theater News
BY Walter H. Sully.“ (...)
„Charlie Chaplin in The Count was recently screened
at the Empress Theater, and Ernie Vockler, a famous
impersonator of the famous Charles, was going through with
the Chaplin antics in the vestibule of the theater, and
drew a crowd of fully two thousand people. The traffic constable
who happened to be doing duty near the theater,
noticed the great mass of people, and hurried to the spot,
and found the impersonator doing the Chaplin act.
The constable took Vockler‘s name for obstructing the traffic.
The house manager hurried to the police department
and explained ,the whole situation‘ to the traffic inspector
who warned him not to let it occur again.“
Empress, corner of George Street with Albion Place, Sydney.
The Count is released by Mutual September 4, 1916.
