A BUSY DAY
Released by Keystone, May y, 1914. (A split reel)
Written and directed by Charles Chaplin. With Mack Swain. (Also known as Militant Suffragette.)
Chaplin impersonates a woman for the first of three occasions on the screen. Still retaining his large shoes, he plays a roughneck wife who, neglected on an outing, catches her husband flirting with a pretty girl and upbraids them both violently. (Released on the same reel with a factual film, The Morning Papers.)
THE FATAL MALLET
Released by Keystone, June 1, 1914. (1 reel)
Probably directed by Chaplin and Sennett. With Mabel Normand, Mack Sennett, Mack Swain. (Also known as The Pile Driver.)
By a river Charlie and two others are rivals for the favor of the haughty Mabel. A roughhouse ensues involving people being hit over the head with bricks and mallets. Outstanding scene: Mabel being bored with the whole proceedings until she receives a swift kick from Charlie.
Normand, Charles Murray. (Also known as Mabel's Flirtation.)
Charlie, a bandit, takes the Count de Bean's place at a fancy party in Mabel's house. Not knowing how to behave in society, he makes many crude blunders and causes great consternation to Mabel and the others. (Prototype of The Count, The Adventurer, etc.)
THE KNOCKOUT
Released by Keystone, June 11, 1914. (2 reels)
Supervised by Mack Sennett. With Fatty Arbuckle, Minta Durfee, Al St. John, Edgar Kennedy, Mack Swain, Hank Mann, Alice Howell, Slim Summerville, Charley Chase, Mack Sennett, the Keystone Cops. (Also known as Counted Out and The Pugilist.)
Actually this is an Arbuckle film with Chaplin appearing briefly for about three minutes as an officious referee at a boxing match between Arbuckle and Kennedy. Charlie gets hit in the interchange of blows, falls, becomes caught in the ropes, etc. Otherwise the picture is a typical Keystone with plenty of slapstick, the Keystone cops, and a wild chase. Outstanding scene: the recumbent Chaplin pulling himself along the slippery floor by the rope and counting "stars."
