The Tramp Clippings 27/63
Mary E. Porter, Picture-Play Weekly, New York, April 24, 1915.
A general denial has been made that all of the
Essanay companies operating at Niles, Cal., were leaving
that studio station for good. The Charles Chaplin Co.,
moving to Los Angeles, gave rise to the rumor. The Chaplins
are being directed by Chaplin. It‘s not likely there will
be any director over Chaplin.

The Keystone is reported as having „retaken“ some of the
Charles Chaplin pictures it produced when the little
fellow was with it. New York „neighborhood“ exhibitors are
showing Keystones with Chaplin billed in big letters
out in front. It is another „repeat“ of the Mary Pickford type made
some months ago by the Bio.

& The Post and the Portraits.
TWO letters recently reached the Essanay studios,

other from Cincinnati, for Charles Chaplin. The letters were
stamped, but the only indication as to whom they

by the photographs of Mr. Bushman and Mr.
Chaplin respectively on the envelopes. The two Essanay
players were so well known that the letters went
through the mail without a hitch.

By H. A. Spoor,
of the Essanay Company
GOOD American Picture Plays make the cinema
possible. (...)
In „Pictures,“ April 17th issue, our British friends,
Hepworth, ask for help against „the cut-throat
prices of the large American producers.
That‘s not quite fair – there are both British and
American „cutters“ – the firms whose films are not good
enough to win on quality.
But Essanay films are sold on their merits
at a fixed price – the top figure –
and this has always been their policy.
I admire the firm of Hepworth, and believe that
their policy is similar to our own. (...)

„The funniest man in the world“
Editorial content. „Charlie Chaplin, Cheerful Comedian
By Mary E. Porter
Though this title tells little, it means much. Charlie Chaplin,
without the shadow of a doubt, is the funniest man
in motion picture to-day, and not a few people have asserted,
without coming far from the point, that he is the funniest
man in the world.“ (...)
