„From the moment Mr. Chaplin‘s name was flashed on the screen“
Editorial content. „,THE CURE‘
Produced by Mutual.
Directed by Charles Chaplin.
Presented almost everywhere.
The cast:
Principally Mr. Chaplin.
Those eager souls who live for the Chaplin releases
and count life as mere existence between times;
who bombard this office with questions as to ,when, when,
when –?‘; who with fond fatuousness hang over
paragraphs bearing on the daily doings of the inimitable
Charles, had the pathetic patience which has sat
on them for the last six weeks or so rewarded yesterday, when
at least half the theaters in town displayed The Cure.
Knowing that to in any way criticize Mr. Chaplin would be
to bring upon my devoted head the anathemas of the
world‘s male population, and fearing that inadvertently I might
say something which might be construed as criticism,
I beat a retreat. In beating let me whisper that in the picture
under discussion Mr. Chaplin goes to a health resort
to be cured of drinking, accompanied by a wardrobe trunk
completely filled with things to drink. That‘s the story.
He and Edna Purviance and Eric Campbell and a lot of other
funny looking folk have a great time. Thrice I laughed
out loud–I-thrice. But there wasn‘t a man in the packed house
who didn‘t chortle from the moment Mr. Chaplin‘s name
was flashed on the screen until his final disappearance beneath
what he disappears beneath.
It gets to be a habit with them!“
The Cure is released
by Mutual April 16, 1917.
