| Summary: | A collection of Chaplin's films at Essanay Studios. A night in the show: Charlie plays a duel role of Mr. Pest and Mr. Rowdy both of whom are attending a vaudville performance. Burlesque on 'Carmen': Parody of the popular Cecil B. DeMille film Carmen. Upon release Essany had inserted discarded scenes to lengthen the film. This version restores the film to its intended length. Police: The tramp is released from prison into "the cruel cruel world" where he meets a former cell-mate and sets about to rob the home of a young woman. Triple trouble: This film was released three years after Charlie's departure from Essanay. It was assembled from discarded portions of the films Police, Work, and an abandoned project called Life. |
