& Trapped by Chaplin Mustache
Scarcely a day passes that Charlie Chaplin is not either
directly or indirectly responsible for some good.
His value was recognized recently even by the United
States postal authorities when a country-wide
search was being made for a young man who is alleged
to have robbed the Cornell, Cal., post office
of considerable money orders.
A description of the fugitive read: „He will be recognized
by his small Charlie Chaplin mustache.“
Not long after the police of Kansas City, Mo., arrested
the young man, recognizing him by his mustache,
and he has been returned to Los Angeles, where he awaits
trial.

„One hundred people have been used“
Editorial content. „Chaplin‘s Comedy For First National
Nears Completion
A Dog‘s Life has been chosen as the title for Charlie
Chaplin‘s initial production for the First National
Exhibitors‘ Circuit. Work on the comedy is rapidly nearing
completion at the new west coast studios.
The famous comedian is now on the home-stretch of his
story, working day and night on what he claims
will be the greatest comedy ever turned out by him. Chaplin
is carrying out the same policy with his present
contribution as he has in the past, that of not giving the public
the slightest nature of his story until the subject
is well on its way to the exhibitors.
The story is of a nature entirely different from anything
the star has heretofore attempted, it is said, and
besides his comedy antics he has also added touches
of pathos similar to those evidenced in Easy
Street and The Vagabond.
Several new faces will be seen in the forthcoming Chaplin
picture as well as the beautiful Edna Purviance. Fred
Starr shoulders the character that usually fell to the late Eric
Campbell and Zasu Pitts, the little artist who won
many admirers with her portrayal of the sympathetic slave
in Mary Pickford‘s Little Princess, will be new
to Chaplin followers.
One hundred people have been used in the making
of the picture and the greater part of the action
takes place in interior ,sets,‘ affording the star wide scope
for unique comedy situation.“ (...)
