Flickerings from Film Land by Kitty Kelly
,HIS NEW JOB‘
Charles Chaplin... Himself
Ben Turpin... Himself
Others... Themselves
PRINT yields precedence is picture, for nobody can
speak better for himself than Charles Chaplin,
even though his speech be of the silent variety. He has
emerged from the chaotic scathings attendant
upon his important comic divertisements for the first time
under the Indian head banner, and he is just
as funny a Charlie Chaplin as he has ever been. It is hard
to conceive of his being any funnier. (...)
Madison Street Chuckles Over Chaplin.
,Tisn‘t often given to a person to make a street smile
as it was yesterday to Charles Chaplin to set
Madison a-chuckle. In the stretch between Dearborn and
Fifth avenue he occupied at least four centers
of jocularity for the shifting crowds all day long who in the
warmth of his sunshine forgot wet feet an drabbled
tempers. Three of the centers were his Essanay debut
in His New Job. (...)

,HIS NEW JOB‘
Charles Chaplin... Himself

PRINT yields precedence is picture, for nobody can
speak better for himself than Charles Chaplin,
even though his speech be of the silent variety. He has
emerged from the chaotic scathings attendant
upon his important comic divertisements for the first time
under the Indian head banner, and he is just
as funny a Charlie Chaplin as he has ever been. It is hard
to conceive of his being any funnier.
In this display he is a little nicer than he has been
in some Keystone confections, but not too nice
to spoil his humorous appeal. It is absolutely necessary
to laugh at him during about ten-ninths of his
antics in his disaster-attended search for a new job –
the small point in which is evidenced the only
irony in the picture. Chaplin, ,the world‘s greatest comedian,‘
in such sad search for a where to antic his antics!
- -
The rest s slapstick, broad and quick – and I should say,
hard for the performers. Over Ben Turpin‘s protestant
physique Chaplin finally climbs to an audience with the powers
within, from which he is plunged to the studio
where his mission seems to be a stage rustling sort until
he has knocked everybody over with a plank
and generally disarranged all the feelings that are
feelingable.
- -
His next essay is as leading man, and, truth to tell,
he leads the performance into uproarious laughter
for all who will look. If one don‘t want to laugh at Mr. Chaplin
in his Essanayised Keystoneism, one had best stay
out of visual range. The two reels are a genuine rollic of fun
which should send warm flutters of financial delight
through the Essanay veine. Mr. Chaplin is a real card.“
