Publisher's Synopsis
A collection of 34 restored silent short films from Charlie Chaplin's 1913-14 stint at Keystone Studios, which saw the little-known music hall vaudevillian making his first forays into the world of celluloid. More than half of the films are written and directed by Chaplin himself, and many of them see the evolution of Chaplin's much-loved comedy persona The Little Tramp. Films included are: 'Mabel's Strange Predicament', 'Caught in the Rain', 'Masquerader', 'The Rounders', 'The New Janitor', 'His Musical Career', 'Dough and Dynamite', 'Tillie's Punctured Romance', 'Making a Living', 'Kid Auto Races in Venice', 'Between Showers', 'A Film Johnnie', 'Tango Tangles', 'His Favorite Pastime', 'The Star Boarder', 'Mabel at the Wheel', 'Twenty Minutes of Love', 'Caught in the Cabaret', 'A Busy Day', 'The Fatal Mallett', 'The Knockout', 'Mabel's Busy Day', 'Mabel's Married Life', 'Laughing Gas', 'The Property Man', 'The Face On the Bar Room Floor', 'Recreation', 'The New Profession', 'Those Love Pangs', 'Gentlemen of Nerve', 'His Trysting Place', 'Getting Acquainted' and 'His Prehistoric Past'.
