The Cure Scenes
& Mutual Chaplin Special
The Cure – (two Reels) – April 16. – Starring Charlie
Chaplin. Charlie goes to a health resort to reform
and give up drink. His baggage consists mostly of a trunk full
of booze, though there is a toothbrush and a collar.
At the resort he meets and falls in love with the fair Edna,
discovering that he has a rival in the person of Eric
Campbell. The hotel proprietor soon finds the liquor in his trunk
and dumps it out of the window into the well, from
whence come the curative waters. All the patrons drink the
water and become almost as drunk as Charlie, who
plays many pranks on the hotel guests. He and Edna stroll
away to a secluded spot, and Charlie falls into the
well, left by the laughing Edna.
