It‘s the First National Exhibitors Circuit.
& Chaplin Quits Mutual? – Said to Have Offer
of Over Million
Announcement came from the Lone Star Studio this
week, given out as a definite fact, that Charles
Chaplin would organize his own company, make eight
pictures during the year, and that his brother,
Sid Chaplin, is now on his way East to complete
negotiations for the release.
It is definitely stated that Mr. Chaplin has received
better than a million offer, and the purpose of
the brother‘s trip at this time is to complete contract.
No definite information would be given
as to the firm making Mr. Chaplin the latest offer.
It is understood the intentions are
to continue production at the studio, now occupied by the
Lone Star Film Corporation, where eleven of the
twelve pictures contracted for by the Mutual have been
filmed.
Charles Chaplin is now making a ten-day vacation,
spending the time at San Francisco and other
points on the west coast. Upon his return he will make
the twelfth and last release under the Mutual
contract.
Sid Chaplin was not heard of either in Chicago or
New York up to early this week.

„The Immigrant Is The Newest Chaplin
As announced last week, the eleventh and newest
Mutual-Chaplin Special is entitled The Immigrant.
The inimitable Chaplin is shown coming to America in the
steerage of a vessel bound for the ,promised land‘
and surrounded by a swarm of immigrants that put to shame
any similar collection ever assembled at Ellis Island. Just
to look at them is to laugh. Later on the action shifts ashore
and Chaplin creates a perfect gale of merriment by his
,business‘ in a restaurant. His discovery that he is short of the
funds with which to settle his bill and his efforts to delay
actual payment are simply indescribable. The scenes mentioned
include, of course, only a tiny fraction of those which
make up the production as a whole, but serve to indicate
that Chaplin‘s originality is unlimited and that as
time goes on he can create more and more situations that in
themselves alone abound in untold comedy
possibilities.“ (...)
