& Charlie Chaplin May Return to Vaudeville
Charles Chaplin, comedian of the movies, may return
to the vaudeville, where he played for so many
years before suddenly achieving fame on the films. The
Essanay company contract has another year
to run on his services, the salary being $72,000 a year.
The news leaked out through a letter from
Chaplin‘s nearest friend and unofficial manager, Ivan B. Kahn,
commercial dealer in foodstuffs, the correspondence
assuming the proportions of an option on Chaplin‘s services
for vaudeville. The recipient is Harry Weber, who
has been dickering with Kahn for a vaudeville tour for the
picture star for the past several weeks.

„Were so well known the letters went through the mail“
Editorial content. „Photos on Letters Reach
Chaplin and Bushman
Two letters reached the Essanay studios, one from
Atlanta, Ga., for Francis X. Bushman, and the other
from Cincinnati, O., for Charles Chaplin, although neither had
a line of writing on them. The letters were properly
stamped, but the only indication as to whom the letters were
for and to what city they were to go was the photographs
of Mr. Bushman and Mr. Chaplin, respectively, on the two letters.
The two Essanay players were so well known the letters
went through the mail without a hitch.“

Alan Nevins & Henry Steele Commager, The Pocket History
of the United States, New York 1942: „In the presidential elections
of 1916 Wilson was successful, largely because he had ,kept
us out of war.‘“
He Kept Us out of War. That‘s his campaign slogan.
The fighting in Europe dominates the campaign. Woodrow Wilson campaigns for re-election on a pledge of continued neutrality
in the World War One
Election night is on November 7, 1916. The electoral vote
is one of the closest in American history – with 266 votes needed
to win, Wilson takes 30 states for 277 electoral votes, while
Hughes wins 18 states and 254 electoral votes.
After the sinking of seven U.S. merchant ships by submarines
and the publication of the Zimmerman telegram, Wilson
calls for war on Germany, which the U.S. Congress declares
on April 6, 1917.
