& Charles (Spencer) Chaplin!
Wow!
His name in the middle is Spencer,
For fitting our Charles it‘s immense, sir;
It is nearly all ,pence´,
Which is Charlie‘s sixth sense;
He clings to the coin, does this gent, sir!

& CHARLIE CHAPLIN has little peculiarities in naming
objects he is employing in his pictures. For
example, instead of calling the policeman‘s club he used
in „Easy Street“ by its familiar name, he perpetually
referred to it as a „truncheon.“ Whereupon each time he
uttered the word two or three extras „extras“
left the set, thinking he had called a halt for luncheon.

„Chaplin Scores Hit
With Easy Street
Easy Street, the newest of the Chaplin-Mutual
Specials, has been a riot since the first day of its release.
Theatres all over the country have ,stood ‘em up‘
with the latest Chaplin-Mutual release. The public has
hugely enjoyed it. It isn‘t a promised success –
a picture that is likely to be a hit – but a success accomplished
– one that has already been proven to be a money maker.
The exhibitor booking it is taking no gamble. He is certain of its
drawing powers. Now available at all Mutual Exchanges
are The Floorwalker, The Fireman, The Vagabond, One A. M.,
The Count, The Pawnshop, Behind the Screen,
The Rink and Easy Street. All of them are Chaplin-Mutual
Specials. All of them are playing to capacity business
whereever shown. Some theatres have played them over
and over again, the re-booking proving more profitable
than did even the first run on the same subject.“
