Editorial content. „,The Immigrant‘ Arrives
Chaplin‘s Latest Whirlwind of Merriment Said to Be His
Best – Star Has Close Call When Tackle Block Falls
Charlie Chaplin‘s latest comedy The Immigrant is one of the cleverest things he has ever done, according to critics
who have seen private runs of the new offering in which Charlie
has a wide range of opportunity for the display of his
fun making genius.
The play is No. 11 of the Mutual-Chaplin series. It leads
the comedian through a series of side-splitting episodes, each
more amusing than the last, and winds up in a whirlwind
of merriment in which the entire company, brought into the
melee, takes part.“ (...)
„Mr. Chaplin had a hard time arranging for the filming of the
ship scene, because it involved keeping a big steam ship
,laying off and on,‘ as her captain called it, for nearly two hours.
That little stunt cost $1,500, which the polite skipper
admitted was exactly what he would have to pay his pilot.
The selection of the widely various types employed
in the immigrant mob aboard the boat cost Mr. Chaplin many
anxious moments. Every one of the men and women
appearing in this scene was chosen by the star from scores
of applicants.“
Two photos. „Here‘s a certain comedian named Charlie and
his brother Syd, chinning a bit at Charlie‘s workshop.
Below is Mr. Chaplin, Edna Purviance, his leading blonde,
and John Jasper, studio manager. They were resting
a bit during the making of ,The Immigrant.‘“
