Charlie and Edna are immigrants to the land of Liberty. Social satire is tempered by an unforgettable pas-de-deux between Charlie and Eric Campbell as a bullying waiter.Charlie Chaplin was the biggest star in film when he signed with the Mutual Company in 1916 for the then-unheard-of sum of $670,000. The twelve films he made for Mutual reflect Chaplin's attempt to use comedy not just as a series of gags, but as a search for genuine, universal truths. Digitally mastered from early generation 35mm negatives, these works provide considerable testimony to Chaplin's skills as both a comedian and a filmmaker. Includes new digital stereo scores by Michael Mortilla.
