„Judge Hotchkiss dismissed the application“

Editorial content. „Essanay vs. Chaplin

      Plaintiff Alleges That the Comedian Still Owes

      Four Comedies Under His Contract.

      THE complaint in the action of the Essanay Film

Manufacturing Company against Charles Chaplin,

the bringing of which suit was noted in these columns several

weeks ago, alleges that Chaplin agreed to make ten

comedies in a specified time for which he was to receive a bonus

of $10,000 in addition to a weekly salary of $1,250. The

company admits that he made six of these pictures, but that

he failed to make the other four. It is this failure that is the

basis of the Essanay suit and the value of each picture is estimated

at $125,000 making a total of $500,000 for the lot.

      It is further stated by the counsel for the plaintiff that

Chaplin was paid a total of $180,000 during the time he was

employed by the Essanay Company.

      In the suit of Chaplin against the Essanay Company

for an injunction preventing the distribution of the Burlesque

on Carmen, Judge Hotchkiss dismissed the application

in a decision rendered Monday, May 22.“
