& In Chicago at the time was a movie actor called Charles Chaplin,
doing two-reelers for Essanay. Frisco was a Chaplin fan.
He liked the way Chaplin wore his derby hat, the way he smoked
his cigarette, the way he shuffled when he walked.
Frisco dramatized Chaplin into a dance. He would cock his brown
derby at a rakish angle, blow furiously on his cigar –
which he always calls a heater – and shuffle along in a strange,
unrhythmic rhythm. Lo, the jazz dance was born.

after an interview with the owner, who had just promised him
the ,Oder of the Boot‘ unless certain obligations were
met forthwith.“ (...)
„Then suddenly he pulled up opposite a palatial
building, the great windows of which were
crammed with framed photographs and gaudily tinted posters.
Keen interest swept all else from his dreamy eyes.“ (...)
