Police Clippings 23/38
Evening World, New York, May 30, 1916.
The Venus of Milo Has Nothing On
these dismal, broken-rimmed, flat-tired, derailed, shrieking
feet for precious financial value. Each of these horrible
objects has just been insured for $25,000! As the champion
shapes of ugliness for all time? Possibly. There
is something in that. But they were insured because of their
potential powers of silvery laughter – limbering up
crooked minds – letting some humor-sunshine into midnight
hearts. As far as that is –. What? Oh, yeas; they‘re
Charlie Chaplin‘s feet.

Wm. Quaid, Mgr.
Despite the fact that Monday afternoon was very warm
this theatre held a large audience, composed mostly
of men. The bill offered was not a very good one; even the Charlie Chaplin picture, „Police,“ was received in a luke
warm manner.
Milo, whose make-up is not unlike that of Nat Wills,
is a versatile performer. He can sing either soprano
or tenor, and imitates birds, dogs, fowls and machinery realistically.
His act was most enjoyable.(...)

„A strong movie comedy“
Editorial content. „MILO THE MYSTERIOUS
SETS PATRONS GUESSING
AT PROCTOR‘S 5TH AVE.
Who is Milo? This was the question asked by a capacity
audience last night at Proctor‘s Fifth Avenue Theatre
when he made his first appearances. He imitates birds and
a score of other living things. He was recalled again
and again. His identification still stands a mystery, but this won‘t
affect him in carrying off the honors for the remainder
of the first half of this week.
Bow! Wow! and Jasper, the famous dog, ran upon the stage, wagging his tail proudly. After each stunt he was roundly
applauded. Charlie Chaplin in a strong movie comedy called
Police, and a number of other acts rounded out
a first-class variety programme.“
Fifth Avenue, 27-31 West 28th Street (at B‘way), New York.
Police is released by Essanay May 27, 1916.
