DESCRIPTION

Charlie must rescue his sweetheart, Edna, from an arranged marriage by posing as Count Chloride de Lime, the man to whom Edna is betrothed but whom neither she nor her father have ever seen. The film ends with a car chase, featuring the Ford automobile, a target of contemporary humor. Impersonation/mistaken identity was a device Chaplin enjoyed. Having used it previously in Her Friend the Bandit and Caught in a Cabaret, he would return to it in such films as The Count, The Idle Class, and The Great Dictator. Among the wonderful bits of comic transposition in th film is a bit of business Chapin had performed in Fred Karno's music hall sketch Jimmy the Fearless: Charlie, attempting to slice a bread roll, continues a spiral cut, turning the roll into a concertina.

In Chaplin's Essanay Comedies, made in 1915, cinema's greatest comedian was first able to build his screen work around his performance style rather than forcing himself, as before, into Mack Sennett's frenzied Keystone comedy matrix. With this freedom Chaplin evolved in a year from the gag comedian of "His New Job" to the brilliant pantomimist of "A Night Out," "The Champion," "The Tramp" and "Shanghaied" to the profound satirist of "Police."
