„To capacity business“

Editorial content. „Chaplin Pictures

      Charlie Chaplin´s film burlesque on Carmen opened

at the Orpheum to capacity business Wednesday,

and has continued to please throughout the balance of the week. Chaplin‘s work was never seen to better advantage

than it is in this film, and aside from his old ,tricks,‘ he has a lot

of new ,business‘ that is surprising when one considers

all that has already been done by this screen favorite, There were

three other reels of excellent pictures besides the four

of Chaplin.“

      Orpheum, 200 S, Salt Lake City.

      Essanay‘s Carmen Fake.

Redaktioneller Inhalt. Ein solider Brüller. Begleitet vom Orpheum

Orchestra unter Edgar Short läuft Chaplins Carmen.

„One Hour full of laughter and entertainment.“

     Gezeigt wird die Essanay Fassung von Carmen. Sie hat

vier Akte und ist doppelt so lang wie die von Chaplin

autorisierte Fassung. Das schlägt sich auch im Text der Anzeige

nieder: „Ein Essanay Vierakter, ein solider Brüller.

Eine Stunde Lachen und Unterhaltung.“

      Gegen diese Essanay Fassung von Carmen ist

Chaplin gerichtlich vorgegangen. Eine Woche zuvor hat er aber

verloren.  Am 26. Mai 1916 meldet die Washington Times,

das Gericht hätte die Klage von Chaplin gegen Essanay abgewiesen.
