To Find Out First Hand
Patrolman Tries to Answer His
Question, „Who is Charley Chaplin?“
„Who is Charley Chaplin?‘ inquired Magistrate Murphy in the Yorksville Court this afternoon and everybody in the
courtroom laughed right out while several court officers hurried
to whisper in his ear.
Before the Magistrate were Daniel Carey and Thomas
Ryan, dressed in imitation of Charley and carrying advertisements
of the three ring movie carnival at the Grand Central
Palace. They had been arrested because a crowd following
them had blocked traffic at Forty-fourth Street and
Third Avenue.
„Charley Chaplin is a comedian who turns corners
on one foot, falls funnier than any one alive and
makes everybody laugh,“ was Patrolman Haber‘s answer to the
Magistrate‘s question, and the men were discharged.
„I‘m going to look this fellow Chaplin up at the nearest moving picture theatre,“ the Magistrate confided to a reporter near him.

500 Charley Chaplins Work For a Prize
There was a ,kid‘ contest for Charley Chaplin
honors. Cash prizes were offered by Manager Lichtig for
the boy between eight and sixteen years who
would give the best make up and imitation of the prince
slapstick comedian of the movies. Chaplin has
many cheap imitators on the screen, but he was never
so complimented before as he was last night.
When the screen with him on it faded away in darkness
the audience suddenly beheld 500 Charley
Chaplins in his place. there were short and tall, fat and lean,
and betwixt and between Charleys, and the kids
were capering about just as their prototype of the film.
There were a hundred laughs in as many
seconds, then women became hysterical.“ (...)
