Tillie‘s Punctured Romance Clippings 8/72

Charles R. Condon,  Motography, Chicago, November 14, 1914

„To give it a comedy twist“

Editorial content. „A Six-Reel Keystone Comedy

      Reviewed by Charles R. Condon

      UP to the present time multiple reel comedies of three reels

or more have been more or less experiments, and, in the

majority of cases, absolute failures as far as preserving purely

comedy situations and atmosphere is concerned.“ (...)

      „The picture is typically Keystone, which fact in itself speaks

for its quick action and cyclonic developments, and

was produced by Mack Sennett without a scenario being made

on it. Marie Dressler universally known as Tillie, is featured

and re-enacts on the screen the droll expressions and queer

actions which made her famous on the stage in Tillie‘s

Nightmare. She is supported by the well-known Keystone pair,

Mabel Normand and Charles Chaplin. To the latter

falls the greater part of the action, and there is probably no one

on the screen better able to give it a comedy twist than

this inimitable comedian.“
