& Garrick.
„The Cure“ is! If you‘ve got the blues, or don‘t like your
mother-in-law, or have a pain on your chest, don‘t
consult a physician or your lawyer, but go and see Charlie
Chaplin at the Garrick. View Charlie disporting
himself among the old ladies and gentlemen at the health resort;
watch him drink the water; see him go through the
evolutions superinduced by the attentions of the masseur;
watch the effect of the bottles of liquor which an
attendant innocently spills into the cure-all waters; see Charlie
in a bathing suit – and laugh. You will; I guarantee
it, being somewhat laugh-proof myself in the face of these
so-called screen comedies, which scarce seem
brothers to this crisp, bright, full-of-surprises film called „The
Cure.“ This is the quintessence of Chaplinism, distilled
of all the old-time cumbersome jazz, the camera-made comic
miracles, the top-heavy action which afflicts most
screen farces.

„To imagine the stunts Charlie does in that bath!“
Editorial content. „Garrick.
The things Charlie Chaplin did in Easy Street are said
to be tragic compared to the stunts that he pulls
at the Rest Cure Sanitarium in The Cure which is to open
at the Garrick today. The picture is said to be ,the
richest thing that the king of comedians has ever turned out.‘
One of the things he does at the sanitarium is to take
a Turkish bath. It sounds simple enough but it would require
an imagination as rich in wild wild humor as that
possessed by Chaplin himself to imagine the stunts Charlie
does in that bath!“
Garrick Theatre, B‘way near 8th Street, Los Angeles.
The Cure is released by Mutual April 16, 1917.
