A Night at the Show (1915)
(A Night in the Show)
Country: US
Technical: bw 30m
Director: Charles Chaplin
Cast: Charles Chaplin, Edna Purviance, Charlotte Mineau
Synopsis:
At a variety show, a rowdy customer among the lower orders in the gallery vies with a drunken swell in tails downstairs in breaking up the evening's entertainment.
Review:
Chaplin plays two roles in this plotless series of skits, set at a music hall. As the toff he gives one of his priceless essays in poised inebriation and violent or insulting behaviour, while his more heavily made-up alter ego is largely left to drop things from the circle onto the unsuspecting heads below, including, almost, his own person.
