„The script is from the pen of Vincent Bryan“

Editorial content. „,The Floorwalker,‘ First Mutual-Chaplin Release

      May 15, date of first release – Exhibitors swamp

      Mutual with requests to book comedies

      ,THE FLOORWALKER‘ is the first of the new Mutual

Chaplins. Mr. Chaplin and his company have

started to work at the studios in Hollywood. They are working

up material which Chaplin gathered in a certain

New York department store while he was in the East in

connection with the signing of his $670,000

contract.

      The Floorwalker gives Chaplin a role that fits him

like his alleged moustache.

      The script is from the pen of Vincent Bryan,

who utilizes the material and ideas

which Chaplin hoards in his mental ,trick bag.‘“
