THE rights to the Chaplin-Mutual Series of twelve two-reel

& „Easy Street,“ the ninth of the Chaplin-Mutual comedies,
saw its last at the studio this week when the final
editing was done and the negative shipped East. Mr. Chaplin
and Vincent Bryan have been busy for the past few
days preparing a story for the next subject, which will be cast
within a day or two. As there are to be three more
Chaplin subjects, and no announcement has been made
of the screen comedian‘s future, many inquiries
are to be heard in film circles as to what Mr. Chaplin‘s next
contract will specify.

„Supported by his unusual cast“
Editorial content. „CHARLES SPENCER CHAPLIN, having
entirely recovered from the injury received from a falling
lamp post during the filming of his last comedy, Easy Street,
has started work on the tenth of his funny pictures
produced under his famous $670,000 contract with the Mutual
Film Corporation.
This latest child of the Chaplin brain is entitled
Health Resort, and gives Mr. Chaplin an entirely
new angle on which to hang his inimitable funny business.
In this picture Mr. Chaplin will be supported
by his unusual cast, including the beautiful Edna Purviance
and Eric Campbell, the burly giant whose work has
been a very delightful part of the Chaplin-Mutual comedies
so far produced.
Health Resort will be released in March.“
