Easy Street Clippings 16/81
Motion Picture News, New York, January 27, 1917.
Chaplin Cartoon.
A Leap Year For His Feet!
You‘re the handsomest man on the screen;
That‘s enough to make Bushman turn green;
But your face is so sweet,
I mind not those big feet;
Charlie, dear, this is 1916!

& Ninth Chaplin-Mutual
Presenting World Famous Comedian in New Antics
Entitled „Easy Street“
At last it‘s ready The ninth of the Chaplin-Mutual Specials.
It‘s entitled „Easy Street.“ Its plot is nothing short
of a riot. Charlie Chaplin proves able again to create something
wholly new – wholly different – from anything he has
done in the past. To be sure the famous hat, the funny cane,
and the world renowned shoes ara again in evidence.
But the ,business‘ is all new. And it‘s even funnier than the
antics perpetrated in the past by this peer of all
comedians. Charlie discovers „Easy Street“ to be one
of the most disorderly thoroughfares in all the
world. Not even the cop on the beat can maintain order there.
Then and there Charlie undertakes to reform the
neighborhood. The method he takes and the success
he achieves are unfolded in a thousand laughs in
„Easy Street.“ The Chaplin-Mutual Specials now playing are
„The Floorwalker,“ „The Fireman,“ „The Vagabond,“
„One A. M.,“ „The Count,“ „The Pawnshop,“ „Behind the Screen“
and „The Rink.“ Bookings can be made at any
Mutual Exchange.
