& Charlie Chaplin Proves His Ability as a Skater
Charlie Chaplin, so the press agents
tell us, has been trying for some time to capitalize his
extraordinary capability as a skater, and if the
press agents speak truly (pardon for doubting them) he gets
full swing for his talents in „The Rink“ which is being
released in Minneapolis today. The skates Chaplin has to wear
in order to fit his exaggerated shoes have to be
at least eight sizes too big, but that doesn‘t make a bit
of difference to so expert a skater as he. (Again
we are quoting the press agents.)
Edna Purviance, with her trim figure and ability
to do everything on skates from dancing a jig
to turning a somersault, affords Chaplin his opportunity. He uses
Miss Purviance like a rag doll, tossing her hither and
thither throwing her across the rink and in fact putting on a
skating speciality that would get him $300 a week
if he had never done anything in his life but on skating
exhibitions. (We need hardly state that here
we are accepting the authority of the press agents.)

& NEW ASTER.
Charlie Chaplin Chaplinizes again this week at the New
Aster. The new release is called „The Rink.“ Charlie
is cast as a waiter, and after making flirty eyes at the girls,
resenting the way the head waiter wears his mustache,
and playing the dence generally in the restaurant,
he retires, with Edna Purviance, of course, to a skating rink,
and there adding skates to his marvelous feet,
he proceeds to make them funnier than ever. „The Rink“ has
more of a plot than most of the Chaplin comedies.
When Charlie arrives with Edna at the rink they find Edna‘s
pa engaged in a whirling flirtation with an attractive
married woman.
