The Cure Clippings 27/70
Motion Picture News, New York, April 14, 1917.
The Cure Scenes
& Reel Life takes pleasure in presenting herewith one
of the rarest specimens of graphic arts –
a portrayal of „Napoleon Crossing the Delaware“ – and as all
the highbrow art magazines say, „the modest
reproduction here can scarce be said to do justice to the
extraordinary merits of the original“ – the original
being a scene from that masterpiece of pleasantry entitled
„The Cure.“ A suitable reward will be paid for the
apprehension of any person who can not identify the artist.

& Chaplin in „The Cure“ (...)
The fun really becomes riotous when Chaplin‘s
trunkload of tanglefoot is discovered by the
resort proprietor and ordered destroyed, the halfwit attendant
given order dumping it into the medical well from
which every patient in the place is supposed to drink five
pints a day.

„Mr. Chaplin continues with his funny little trot“
Editorial content. „The Chaplin-Lone Star Company completed
the filming of The Cure, and it was shipped East early
this week. This subject is said to be entirely different from
former Chaplin comedies as chases and other speed
scenes have been eliminated. Throughout, Mr. Chaplin continues
with his funny little trot, but depends more upon comedy
in the situation than upon slapstick, but he sticks most ardently
to his well loved stick. The story is laid at a mineral
springs, where the comedian appears in a Palm Beach suit,
straw hat and his magical cane.“
