& SEATTLE HAS NEAR CHARLIE CHAPLIN ALL HER OWN
By Freddie Film
If you are an admirer of Charlie Chaplin and
haven‘t seen the nut that mimics him in front
of the Class A theatre, you are missing something.
For he‘s Charlie Chaplin over again, from
the top of his dented derby down to his heelless shoes.
Yesterday I stood in a crowd of nearly a hundred
people and watched him go through all the antics that
Chaplin uses, and even as familiar as I am
with Chaplin‘s stunts, I couldn‘t find any flaws.
„Why, Harry, there he is now!“ I heard
a woman remark to her husband as they left the theatre
and saw him cutting up in front of the crowd.
Later on I collared him in the foyer of the Class A
and found out that he was Louie Post
Mueller and lived with his father at 1019 Pike st.
„Have you been in Seattle long?“
I asked.
„As long as I can remember. I was born here 21 years
ago and have been here ever since,“ he replied.
„How do you come to be in this game?“ was my next.
„Well, you see, it was this way. I was on my way
to a masquerade ball at Redding‘s hall, the other night, in this
garb, and Manager Smythe grabbed me on the
street and said he wanted to see me – and so here I am.
„I thought as long as a man wanted to part
with real money to have me play the nut in front of his
theatre – well!! money is not to be sneezed
at nowadays in any form.“
With that he went skating out through the exit on one
foot, and from the titters outside
I knew that he was back at work again.
Louis Mueller is about the same size as Chaplin and looks
enough like him to be his twin brother.

& The management of the Colonial announces, besides the
regular program this week, an extra added attraction
of Charles Chaplin, tagged „Getting Acquainted.“ It is beyond
criticism as a laugh producer, and the three crazy
„squirrel delights,“ respectively Mabel Normand, Chaplin and
Ambrose, could pull a laugh out of a graveyard.
It is worth your time alone to see Charlie go skidding around
the corners on one foot, let alone the crazy antics
of the other two. The film had the audience in an uproar
at every performance yesterday.

& Charlie Chaplin is busy feeding the audiences of the Class A
with laughs this week in „Caught in the Rain.“

„Getting Acquainted“ is a late, „Caught in the Rain“ an early
Keystone comedy.
& The Charles Chaplin Essanay comedy company left Chicago
for Niles, Cal., last Thursday.
While in Chicago a two reel special picture was produced.
It was at first planned to have the comedian work in the
Chicago studio, but on account of the lack of available exterior
locations and the climatic conditions, it was thought best
to return to the West.
Ben Turpin and Leo White, who have been
in the Chicago company for some time,
were among the players who left with Chaplin.
