„This is a typical Chaplin number throughout“
Editorial content. „THE PAWN SHOP (Mutual-Chaplin), Oct. –
A laughable two-reel number, featuring Charlie
Chaplin as a pawnbroker‘s clerk, assisted by Edna Purviance
and Henry Bergman. This hasn‘t a suspicion of a plot,
but is full of the well-known Chaplin small business, and brings
laughter all the way through. He sticks a feather duster
in an electric fan, repairs an alarm clock with a chisel and a can
opener, polishes the ,Three balls‘ over the pawn shop
and performs other funny antics of various sorts. This is a typical Chaplin number throughout.“
