„Up to the standard of Chaplin‘s funniest grotesqueries“
Editorial content. „To Screen Ibsen Drama at Portola
Chaplin Holds Sway at the Market
Mary Alden, a screen star, to be seen at the Portola
in Pillars of Society; Emmy Wehlen, who comes
to the Tivoli in The Pretenders, and Edna Purviance, who
is in Charlie Chaplin‘s support, and is coming to the
Market-street Theater‘s screen. (...)
“A merry week with Charlie Chaplin in The Pawnshop
is promised at the Market-street Theater, beginning
Sunday afternoon. The play and the player fit each other perfectly.
The plot is hilarious, and the supporting company is
clearly in the humor of farce in its most boisterous manifestations.
Chaplin‘s idea of the proper treatment to which
timepieces should be subjected is shown in his adventures in the
pawnshop, and his antics with the singular throng with
which he mingles are up to the standard of Chaplin‘s funniest
grotesqueries, included in the Chaplin cast is Edna
Purviance, who plays the role of the pawnbroker‘s pretty
daughter.“ (...)
