SKATES AND LAUGHS.
CHAPLIN GETS MUCH FUN OUT OF „PROPS“ IN „RINK.“
By Grace Kingsley.
Getting comedy out of insensate objects must be an art.
I judge this from improvement in quantity and quality
of the fun which Charlie Chaplin obtains from „props“ around
him. In „The Rink,“ in which this greatest little comedian
begins as a waiter in a restaurant and ends as a champion roller
skater, he makes tables and chairs funnier than ever.
And as for the roller-skating rink, with its entirely new set
of props – why, he gets grins out of garters, snickers
out of skates, and laughter out of liniment. Incidentally he does
some really marvelous skating.

Charlie Chaplin, in „The Rink,“ is bringing the official joyland
to the Garrick Theater. Some of the stunts Chaplin
does on roller skates would make Allie Moore, speed champion
of the world, turn green with envy.
Despite the large crowds that are flocking to the theater
daily, the film will be shown for only one week more.

& Garrick.
„The Rink,“ Charles Chaplin‘s latest laugh vehicle, will start
on its second big week at the Garrick with the matinee
today, and indications are that there will be no diminishing
of the long lines of eager fun fans. This latest comedy
affords Chaplin a new method of making people laugh, showing
his skill in roller skate slants.
The action of the film is fast and furious, as is always the
case in Chaplin productions. Comic situations occur
with startling rapidity.
