CHAPLIN SAYS
I am with the MUTUAL
because this gigantic organization is in the best position
to serve every exhibitor.
(...) Variety, March 3, 1916
& MUTUAL WILL GET CHAPLIN.
While the final papers were not signed up to Wednesday
evening, it was then practically certain Charles
Chaplin will enter into a contract with the Mutual Film
Corporation for the formation of a separate
Chaplin company, the output to be distributed via the Mutual
exchanges, by the terms of which Chaplin will
receive over a flat salary of $10,000 a week and a bonus
on signing (variously estimated from $100,000
upward).

& CHAPLIN‘S PRICE.
Charlie Chaplin has been in town for the past few weeks,
waiting for the lightning to strike him. He has several
high potential wires out and only such connections as are
of high voltage need apply. One line is labeled
$10,000 per week, $100,000 in advance and an interest in the
company. Charlie is surely bidding for real money.

& About that time the Strange Case of Mary Page will have
been solved, we‘ll know Who‘s Guilty, and Charlie
Chaplin will get a job somewhere. The future is rich in promise.

„Going in for ,uplift‘ in the movies“
Editorial content. „Charles Chaplin, the film comedian,
is in New York celebrating, buying his spring clothes and looking
for a contractor to build him a new studio in California.
Chaplin and his brother Syd Chaplin, are venturing into the
motion picture field for themselves. Although
Charles Chaplin says he is going in for ,uplift‘ in the movies,
he denies any intention to abandon his baggy
trousers, Mississippi-boated shoes, mustache or cane.“
