„Mack Sennett has done well”

Editorial content. „,Tillie‘s Punctured Romance‘

      Marie Dressler, in Sennett`s Six-Reel Keystone,

      Will Contribute Much to the Gayety of Nations.

      Reviewed by George Blaisdell.

      WHEN Mack Sennett was n the East a coupe of months

ago he confided to a friend that in the making of his

six-reel Comedy in which Marie Dressler was starred he had

given all that he had.“ (...)

      „Charles Chaplin plays opposite Miss Dressler. In apposition

with the famous woman of the legitimate comedy stage,

the screen player suffers not a whit by comparison. The two

constitute a rare team of funmakers – the sort

of combination that not only tempts but impels an ordinary

fallible reviewer to indulge in extravagant language.

Chaplin outdoes Chaplin; that‘s all there is too it. His marvelous

right-footed skid – and it seems to make no difference

whether he have under him rough highway or parlor floor –

is just as funny in the last reel as it is in the first.

Chaplin‘s serious face is seldom crossed by a smile.

With perfect confidence he leaves

laughter to others; and well he may.“ (...)
