Easy Street – MUTUAL – (TWO REELS) – FEBRUARY 5.
– The inimitable Charlie Chaplin. Charlie, an outcast,
enters the mission house on Easy Street with the intentions
of purloining the collection box. After some time
he manages to secure the box but his eyes have lit upon
Edna, the organist of the mission, and from that
minute Charlie decides to lead a new life. He returns the
collection box to the much astonished minister and
then tells Edna that she is the cause of his wishing to reform.
Eric, the bully of Easy Street, has everyone cowed
and when he attacks Charlie he is surprised to have the
little fellow attack him and lay him out. Charlie‘s
bravery attracts the attention of the chief of police and he is
finally put on the force with the beat on Easy Street.
Campbell kidnaps Edna and holds her in a low dive. Here
Charlie finds her the beautiful organist and after
overcoming Eric and his henchmen, he takes Edna in his arms
and escapes from the place. After the incident Edna
lets Charlie pump the organ for her in the mission, where she
plays to him.“
