& Chaplin in Burlesque „Carmen“ from V-L-S-E

      Picture Is Set for Immediate Release,

      and Is the Second Four-Reeler Featuring the Famous

      Comedian – Subject Will Be Marketed on Open

      Booking Policy

      THE V-L-S-E announces the immediate release of

Essanay‘s new four-reel production, a burlesque

of „Carmen,“ with the great and only Charley Chaplin as star.

      At any time the appearance of Chaplin in a new

role is something of an event in filmland, but his presentation

in a four-reel comedy is such an unusual occurrence

that it bids fair to rank as a genuine sensation. This is only

the second time that the famous comedian has

starred in a four-reel picture, the other occasion being his

appearance in „Tillie‘s Punctured Romance,“

last year.

      Thanks to the open booking policy of the V-L-S-E, the

distribution of the Chaplin „Carmen“ picture will

mean that every exhibitor throughout the country will be given

an opportunity to obtain this much-desired attraction

for his house.

      There is no doubt as to the eagerness of the motion

picture public to view the word‘s greatest mirth

maker in a new bid for popularity, and the fact that the fun

will be of an extended type, keeping the favorite

disporting himself, before the camera for four reels, is a sure

guarantee of the feature‘s success.

      Those who viewed the film in private are a unit in declaring

it to be one of the most wildly amusing productions

yet screened for the purpose of enhancing the gambols

of the inimitable Charley. The weirdly burlesque tale

of the well-known opera furnishes the comedian with a wealth

of opportunity to exhibit his peculiar abilities.

      „Tillie's Punctured Romance“ with Charles Chaplin

      is announced by Keystone in Motography of Nov. 14, 1914

      not as a four reeler, but as „A Six Part Comedy.“

destined hereafter to be linked forever with the

unforgettable cognomen of C. Chaplin.“
