The Pawnshop Clippings 75/99

Chicago Tribune, Chicago, Illinois, May 27, 1917.

Charles Chaplin by Witzel

(...) Supplement to The Chicago Sunday Tribune,

Sunday, May 27, 1917


„He‘s a great waster of film“

Editorial content. „Right off the Reel“ (...)

      „The popular supposition that Charles Chaplin produces

a picture by just dashing out anything that comes

into his head is all wrong, says a man who knows him well.

,Mr. Chaplin dashes through scenarios just about

the way a watchmaker dashes through the work of repairing

the repeater. All the uproariously funny Chaplin farces

have been made slowly and painfully. He never works from

a regular scenario, but after getting the idea evolves

the story when the actors are before the camera. He rarely

tells the people in his cast what to do – he shows

them. He locates his own locations. He‘s a great waster

of film. One of Mr. Chaplin‘s latest and best pictures

in which you see him in a favorite pose may be found in another

part of the paper. We hope you will like it.“
