Editorial content. „IMMORTAL CHARLIE
Words and figures are unnecessary in explaining the status
of Charles Spencer Chaplin, undoubtedly the best known
character in the world, and the highest salaried comedian on
canvas. Charlie is a frog-eater by birth, because Paris
is his home town. He went on the stage in London, then came
over here in a show, and later joined the Keystone, then
Essanay, and now he is doing his own stuff under the Lone
Star brand for Mutual.
Charlie is a regular fellow, and his millions and high position
in the game have not worried him very much. Naturally
a man who has the enormous cares that he has, becomes tired,
as anyone will at times, but if you know Charlie, he is
a fine chap to be with. He hands me plenty of laughs all the
time, and it is lots of fun to be with him.
Although he is English, he was registered and is ready to fight.
He bought a lot of Liberty Bonds, and has loaned money
to the Allies. Charlie likes to read and study. He is very artistic,
and only last week bought a wonderful little bronze statue
for $800. He has a serious side just as some men have a funny
one, but any way or the other, Chaplin is a clever man,
a genius and a regular feller. He loves children and they love
him, and he spends lots of time autographing pictures
for them, so why should he not be successful.“
