„As though the entire audience would become hysterical”
Editorial content. „PLAZA THEATRE“ (...)
„Admirers of inimitable Charlie, the famous Keystone ,drunk‘
comedian, were given a treat at the Plaza yesterday
in his latest film success, Laughing Gas, one thousand feet
of rollicking farce in which Chaplin played a dentist
who could extract teeth painlessly. There is not a dull moment
from beginning to end and at times during the showing
of the piece it seemed as though the entire audience would
become hysterical.“ (...)
