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.‘“
