& Our Cinematographic Cartoons. No. 45. The Penalty of Fame
If Charlie Chaplin came to England in order to escape
the attention lavished upon him by the American public, he would
fail dismally. Our Cartoonist thinks it is impossible for
Charlie to escape attention anywhere.

Charles Chaplin in South Africa – Essanay Comedies
Break Up the Dutchman‘s Gravity
IN less then a month, Charles Chaplin has come to be
known throughout the land, even the Dutch South
Africans laugh over his antics, and as Edwin Adeler of the
Carlton theater, Johannesburg, puts it:
Awful the case of the Rev. Van Nickerk,
Thought he entered a Dutch Reformed Free Kirk,
Found it was the Carlton and laughed himself sore.
Let us sing hymn number seventy-four.
In Keystone comedies Chaplin was enjoyable, but in the
Essanay productions he was and is superb, and his
antics brought smiles to the toughest grouch in the audience.
What has popularized him so greatly is the publicity
campaign through the medium of the popular weeklies
published in England, namely „Pluck,“ „Answers,“
and „The People.“ The first named is well read by the
juveniles, and naturally, as photogravures
are given away, Chaplin soon became well known.“
