„Charles Chaplin tumbles about in a surprising style“

Editorial content. „Halsted Empress (Harry Michell, mgr.;

S-C.) – Karno‘s London Comedians furnish the laughter this week,

and they also furnish the greater part of the entertainment.

The entertainment is clean and wholesome, and fits in with the

prevailing weather very well. The Karno company is

playing a burlesque-pantomime called A Night in a London

Club. Full of slap-stick humor, it is diverting, and

Sunday afternoon the act had the house in an uproar of laughter.

Charles Chaplin tumbles about in a surprising style and

is the principal funmaker, although several others perform

lively stunts and bring out numerous laughs. The

character make-up of the people is excellent, and there are

several moments in the sketch where laughter is at

a high point.“ (...)                                                             „REED.“
