A Night in the Show Scenes

& Charles Chaplin of the worn-out shoes and old clothes

appears in a new rôle in the latest Essanay-Chaplin

comedy, „A Night in the Show,“ which soon is to be released.

In this play Mr. Chaplin doffs his old costume and

appears in dress suit and silk hat. But even in this disguise

it is impossible not to recognize the Chaplin walk,

the Chaplin capers and the Chaplin mannerisms. He is Charles

Chaplin, whether in the garb of a hobo or a man-about-town.

      It is said that this comedy proves conclusively that it is not

Charles Chaplin‘s make-up that endears him to the

photoplay public.

& Chaplin in New Role

      Charles Chaplin of the worn-out shoes and old clothes,

appears in a new role in the latest Essanay–Chaplin

comedy, A Night in the Show, which soon is to be released.

      In this play Mr. Chaplin doffs his old costume and appears

in dress suit and silk hat. But even in this disguise it is

impossible not to recognize the Chaplin walk, the Chaplin capers

and the inimitable Chaplin mannerisms. He is Charles

Chaplin, whether in the garb of a hobo or a man of society.

      This comedy proves conclusively that it is not

Charlie Chaplin‘s make-up, funny as that has been considered,

that endears Chaplin to the photoplay public. His success

lies deeper than that; it is personality, an individuality that always

is found no matter in what garb he appears.

      And Chaplin loses none of his funniness; in fact critics

who have watched him at work on his newest piece declare that

he is funnier than ever, although a new Chaplin in a new

role. His versatility is surprising and leads one to wonder ,what

next?‘ in his line of antics.“

& Chaplin in New Role.

      Charles Chaplin of the worn out shoes and old clothes

appears in an entirely new role in the latest

Essanay-Chaplin comedy, A Night in the Show, which

soon is to be released.

      In this play Mr. Chaplin doffs his old costume and appears

in dress suit and silk hat. But even in this disguise it is

impossible not to recognize the Chaplin walk, the Chaplin capers

and the inimitable Chaplin mannerisms. He is Charles

Chaplin, whether in the garb of a hobo or a man of society.

      This comedy proves conclusively that it is not Charlie

Chaplin‘s make-up, funny as that has been considered, that

endears Chaplin to the photoplay public. His success

lies deeper than that; it is personality, an individuality that always

is found no matter in what garb he appears.

      And Chaplin loses none of his funniness; in fact critics

who have watched him at work on his newest piece declare that
