THE Garrick is showing Charlie Chaplin in his latest
smile-getter this week.
It is called „The Rink,“ the reason for that being, perhaps,
that the comedian does a good share of his „stunts“
on roller skates.
And it happens to be one of the funniest things Chaplin
has ever done. You will laugh at every stroke the
„gloom-chaser“ takes, and when he flops – well, you probably
will be so exhausted from laughing that you will just
sit in your seat and shake all over. That‘s the way he affected
the Sunday matinee crowd, and as that audience
usually is a critical, hard-boiled lot, I am taking it for granted that
everybody who attends the Garrick for the remainder
of the week will do likewise. If they don‘t, I‘m a worse guesser
than I had given myself credit for.
Chaplin has many opportunities to inject his funnyisms,
and while some of these may be old, he slips in enough
brand new stuff to even things up. The situations, taking place,
for the most part, in a restaurant in which the comedian
is a waiter, are primed to the nozzle to haul the laughs – and
they do it most successfully.
Edna Purviance makes a most attractive foil for Chaplin.

„Chased by the whole restaurant and rink crowd“
Editorial content. „Garrick.
A new Charlie Chaplin picture will make its debut at the
Garrick this week. This latest creation of king of
comedians, under the Mutual-Chaplin contract, is entitled The Rink. Chaplin appears as a waiter in a high-class restaurant,
and what he doesn‘t succeed in finding in the way of trouble
might easily be considered negligible. The real
action of the piece, however, centers in the ,Oskaspeil Rink.‘
The father of the charming damsel entertains with
a party at the rink. Charlie and most of the men and women who frequent the place are invited, where Edna‘s father
complains of Chaplin‘s being too fresh, and Charlie responds
with an expose of flirtatious habits of papa. This starts
a family riot. Everybody is after Chaplin at once, with the sole
exception of the daughter, who insists that he is not
to blame for the trouble, and Chaplin is chased by the whole
restaurant and rink crowd. This is said to be the
funniest chase ever put on by Chaplin.
Edna Purviance play opposite the comedian.“
Garrick Theater, 802 South Broadway, Los Angeles.
The Rink is released
by Mutual December 11, 1916.
