Update

I was going to quickly grab an intertitle from A NIGHT OUT, Chaplin’s second Essanay production, but THERE ARE NONE. It’s like THE LAST LAUGH, only with more actual laughs. Actually it starts like THE ROUNDERS and turns into MABEL’S STRANGE PREDICAMENT, continuing Chaplin’s habit of remaking early Keystones in more sophisticated ways.

I’ll write about it properly in about a week. Right now I’m still absurdly busy. After the weekend I will only be disastrously busy, as I’m going from a feature-length documentary compressed into a silly amount of time, to a regular video essay compressed into a silly amount of time. Looking forward to the relief.
