& Rialto Celebrates Successful Month
The Rialto Theater, New York, celebrated the completion
of its first month of existence by giving its patrons
an attractive double bill. As a dramatic offering Norma Talmadge
and the „Fine Arts Kiddies“ were shown in „Going
Straight.“ Charles Chaplin furnished the comedy element
in a burlesque on the same theme, called „Police,
Police,“ which was exhibited at the Rialto as a pre-releae
showing.

& „Going Straight“ at the Rialto. (...)
By a strange coincidence Chaplin‘s comedy, „Police,“ is the
direct antithesis – almost a burlesque on the same story.

The Chaplin offering is „Police! Police!“ – said

Charles Chaplin is to be seen this week at the
Rialto in the last picture to be released by Essanay, his former
producer. The comedian is up to his familiar tricks
in the picture, and scarcely a foot of film passes that his foot
doesn‘t. It all depends on the point of view whether
this picture, called Police, is funny. If one likes Chaplin, it is; if one doesn‘t, it closes the bill and one may leave.“
Rialto, 1481 B*way (NW corner of 42nd St.), New York.
Police is released by Essanay May 27, 1916.
