„He is the man with french kick“
Editorial content. „Brief Biographies of Popular Players
Charles Chaplin
Charles Chaplin, the mere announcement
of whose appearance sends a buzz of applause thru an audience,
is perhaps best known for his inimitable ,business.‘
He is the man with the french kick, gnawed-off mustache,
unbalanced run, ,kidney feet‘ and misfit pantaloons.“
„Charlie says that his parents were very poor folk, and
that he has no education save what was cuffed into
him when he was an urchin apprentice in a troop of strolling
English acrobats. He first appeared in this country
in a pantomime, A Night in an English Music Hall. His hilarious
stunts attracted Mack Sennett, who lost no time
in signing him for the Keystone Company. A moving monument
to his fame is Tillie‘s Puctured Romance, his last large
picture with the Keystone Company.
Chaplin has recently been captured by the Essanay
Company, and his latest releases, The Champion,
A Jitney Elopement and The Tramp, show that he has not
lost his inimitable ,Punch.‘
Speaking of imitators, Chaplin has many, which
is his sincerest flattery. Most of them are a long way after
him, with no hopes of catching up. Several players
are announcing that Chaplin is copying them. Even so,
it might be profitable for these detractors now to
copy the man who copied them. Charlie‘s ,business‘ is thought
out by himself, and is spontaneous combustion,
as it were, so there is not much fear of his imitators
infringing his comedy patent.“
