& Chaplin No. 9 Delayed
Owing to the usual character of the latest Charlie Chaplin
productions, „Easy Street,“ involving as it does many
big scenes which, while they appear to be „interiors,“ are
really „exteriors,“ necessitating sunlight for their
success. Mr. Chaplin has been compelled to announce the postponement of release on No. 9 of the Chaplin series
from January 22 to February 5, preferring to delay completion
of the comedy until conditions for its successful filming
are perfect.

„The rainy season on the Pacific coast“
Advertisement/Editorial content. „CHAPLIN WAITS
FOR SUNSHINE.
OWING to the unusual character of the latest Charlie
Chaplin production, Easy Street, involving, as it does
many big scenes which while they appear to be ,interiors,‘ are
really ,exteriors,‘ necessitating sunlight for their success.
Mr. Chaplin has been compelled to announce the postponement
of release on No. 9 of the Chaplin series from January 22
to February 5, preferring to delay completion of the comedy until
conditions for its successful filming are perfect.
In his announcement of the postponement, Mr. Chaplin,
while expressing regret at the delay, points out
that it is his determination to permit nothing but the best
to be released and that he would prefer producing
nothing at all to assuming responsibility for poor photography.
He remarks incidentally that 30,000 feet of negative
have already been used in the effort to perfect 2,000 feet
of laughs.
As is widely understood, the rainy season on the Pacific
coast is now at its worst and frequently when
the producing companies are doing their best work,
dark rainy and cloudy weather will supervene,
rendering operation impossible during its continuance.“
