„The brilliance displayed in so many sequences“

Editorial content. „THE SCREEN

      Paris and Parisites.

      A WOMAN OF PARIS, with Edna Purviance, Clarance

      Geldert, Carl Miller, Lydia Knott, Charles French,

      Adolphe Menjou, Betty Morrissey, Malvina Polo and

      others, written and directed by Charles Spencer

      Chaplin.

      Our old friend Charlie Chaplin, the world‘s screen

clown, has flung aside temporarily his shapeless

trousers and his tiny derby, plucked off his eyebrow mustache,

and in a well-tailored suit has graduated into Charles

Spencer Chaplin, director par excellence. His first production,

in which he does not appear, fascinated an interesting

and curious throng last night in the Lyric Theatre.

      As a film director Chaplin reveals himself as a bold,

resourceful, imaginative, ingenious, careful, studious

and daring artist. This effort is called A Woman of Paris, not

an especially original title considering the brilliance

displayed in so many sequences of this photoplay.“ (...)
