      REVIEWED BY PETER MILNE

      THE question was, could Chaplin put the funny business

over, sans the usual eccentric makeup? The question

may now be conveyed to Goldberg and listed with that gentleman‘s

formidable list of foolish ones, for Chaplin with or

without is the same Charlie. Any clothes on Charlie serve

to cover a multitude of laughs, which duly uncover

themselves as the picture progresses. (Editor‘s note: The clothes

remain intact.)

      A NIGHT IN THE SHOW (Essanay), Nov. 15. – This two-reel Chaplin, which is founded on the well-known

English Music Hall sketch, „A Night in a Music Hall,“

permits Charlie Chaplin to revive the character

of the man with the jag, and add highly laughable bits

of new business to the old situations.

& A NIGHT IN THE SHOW (Charles Chaplin

Subject – Two parts – Nov. 15). – Charles Chaplin

decided to go to the show for an evening‘s

entertainment.  He wants to see it so badly that he appears

in a double role, that of a „swell“ in evening

clothes in the dress circle and a rowdy in the gallery.

„And it undoubtedly drew big crowds“

Editorial content. „Features Popular at Tennessee Houses.

      The Majestic, No. 2, of Memphis, Tenn., recently

featured the Essanay production of Charles Chaplin in the

comedy playlet, A Night in the Show. This picture was

so different from most of the appearances of the famous comedy

artist that it was the subject of a great deal of comment.

It was said that the picture was the best one of its kind ever seen

at the theater, and it undoubtedly drew big crowds.“
