The Tramp Clippings 49/63
Pictures and The Picturegoer, London, England, August 21, 1915.
Marooned In London
Anemic english Films cause craze for U.S. Pictures:
Chaplinitis is epidemic.
By By Harry C. Carr (...)
„The Charley Chaplin fever
has suddenly hit the village and it is the worst attack I ever saw
any city have over anything.“ (...)
„It all came up over Charley Chaplin.
As I say, London is mad over Chaplin. I saw every musical revue
in London and I didn‘t see one revue that didn‘t have
at least one actor dressed up to take off Charley Chaplin. In one
revue, there was a whole chorus of Chaplins.“ (...)
„On the Strand, every theater that could
possibly grab one was showing one of Chaplin´s old worn
out films. Two rival houses near Charing Cross were showing
By The Sea and The Tramp.“
The best house in London, when I left in November,
was advertising as a ,crossing attraction´, Charley Chaplin in Tilly´s Punctured Romance.
And here came the row. The Essanay refused to let
the London managers have the Chaplin films unless they would
take the whole Essanay program.
