„A touch of the ,whirley girly‘ on his own“
Editorial content. „Chaplin‘s Next Mutual Comedy Is The Rink“
CHARLIE CHAPLIN will be seen December 11
in The Rink. It will mark his eighth production for Mutual
release under his $670,000 contract.
In this play Charlie is a waiter in a high class restaurant,
and what he doesn‘t succeed in finding in the way
of trouble isn‘t worth finding. He doesn‘t like the way the head
waiter wears his whiskers, has no idea of the deference
due from a newly graduated bus boy to ,the head,‘ makes eyes
at the girls, and generally speaking, plays the deuce
with precedent.
The real action of the piece centers in the ,Oskaspeil
Rink,‘ where Charlie takes the lady upon whom
he has for the moment centered his affections. The damsel, Purviance, of course, is left by her father in the
restaurant while he goes to the skating rink for a touch
of the ,whirley girly‘ on his own.“
