& Charles Chaplin in „Work“
Charley Chaplin is now appearing in „Work,“ which will
in all probability require two full feet reels to complete,
judging from the great quantity of tools the prop men have
secured for use in the production. In this the popular
comedian of the screen will dabble into many trades with his
usual success – that of introducing laughable situations.

& Delayed by the unfavorable weather, the Charles
Chaplin-Essanay comedy company, is still
engaged in filming the two reel subject entitled Work. Monday
following a May Day floral parade, the most elaborate
ever staged in Los Angeles, the Essanay star and company
appeared on the streets to secure some big crowd
pictures and nearly caused a riot.
As the word passed down street the crowds increased
and it required the many extra policemen on duty
to disperse the gathering, and they were not able to accomplish
the work until many minutes after Chaplin and the
other players had completed their work and departed.“

& THE CHAPLIN FLOOD.
Nearly all playing organizations that employ sings have
inserted a „Charlie Chaplin Number“ since the
Chaplin craze lately started. The musical show to claim the
Chaplin number as the initial stage attempt is „All
Over Town,“ the Joseph Santley production, opening April 26
in New Haven, when the Chaplin number was in the
piece. The Santley show is in Detroit this week, and goes
to the Garrick, Chicago, May 30.
