„GARRICK
Art may be dead and slapstick comedy may be
in a bad way with poor chance for ever fully
recuperating but they still go on laughing at Charles Chaplin.
That much was proved yesterday at the Garrick,
where the Mutual‘s latest Chaplin comedy is being shown
for the first time since its release. The picture
is titled Easy Street.
The comedian with a king‘s salary introduces several
new stunts in the new one-reeler, but the picture
is, for the most part, made up of the regular routine Chaplin
stunts and gags, the same stunts and gags that have
made him popular with millions of movie fans. It wouldn‘t be
fair to Chaplin or to the intelligence of the Garrick
patrons to state that Easy Street is the best fun-getter Chaplin
has turned out, nor would it be fair or just to say that
the film falls below the usual Chaplin standard. Easy Street
is not superior to other Chaplins I have seen, yet it is
not inferior. It dishes up laughs from the start and at the
performance I attended the audience nearly fell
off their seats roaring at the antics of the blue-coated funster.
The scene where Chaplin and an army of police
bring down their clubs on the head of a heavyweight without
even so much as disturbing that gentleman‘s titian
locks is one of the most ludicrous ever staged before a camera.
The companion attraction is a picture featuring
Ella Hall, titled Mary, Keep Your Feet Still.
It is a cinch you won‘t keep your mouth still while
watching Chaplin.“
Garrick Theatre, Broadway at 8th, Los Angeles.
Easy Street is released
by Mutual February 5, 1917. It‘s a two-reeler.
