„Located in a secluded part of Hollywood, away from the din
of street cars and honking traffic, is the studio of the Lone
Star Film Corporation, where Mutual-Chaplin comedies are made.
The quiet that prevails about the plant at all times, would
not go a long way toward convincing the passer-by that stormy comedies are made there.
H. P. Caulfield is manager, Charlie Chaplin writes his own
scenarios, and directs his own scenes, aided by Vincent
Bryan, song writer. The stock company includes Edna Purviance,
Charlotte Mineau, Eric Campbell, Leo White, Lloyd Bacon,
Albert Austin, Fred Goodwins, James Kelly, John Rand, and Frank
Coleman. Ed Brewster is technical director; Al Couderc,
scenic artist; Billy Foster and Roland Totheroh, cameramen, and
Charles Levin, superintendent of laboratories.
The plant, which opened on March 27, following Chaplin
signing his contract on March 20, was built by the
Climax Company, and is of sufficient size that Chaplin can turn
around without striking his shoes against anything.
The company has nw completed four two-reel subjects,
including The Floorwalker, The Fireman, The Vagabond,
and another, title of which has not been selected.“
