„Charlie Chaplin will again bow to the public on July
10 in the third of the Chaplin-Mutual comedies entitled The Vagabond, in which he appears as the itinerant musician. In this play
Charlie again returns to his famous make-up, which he discarded
temporarily in his last comedy.
Eric Campell, the ,heavy‘ of Chaplin-Mutual releases,
Edna Purviance, the comedian‘s leading woman.
Leo White, Charlotte Mineau, Phyllis Allen and Lloyd Bacon,
members of Chaplin‘s supporting company, all have
important parts in The Vagabond.
To obtain the proper atmosphere for the gypsy scenes
a band of nomads on their annual pilgrimage camping
near Los Angeles, were engaged to appear in the film, along
with their their paraphernalia. In The Vagabond, for
the first time in his career, Chaplin brings into the play his famous
violin, about which so much has been written.
The value which the Mutual Company places on the Chaplin
reels is shown by the insurance policy which it has just
taken out for protection against theft by ,film pirates.‘ The twelve
releases in which Chaplin is to appear this year will cost
more than a million dollars, including the comedian‘s salary
of $670,000, and every phase of the business involved
which is insurable has been insured.“
