A NIGHT IN THE SHOW
Released by Essanay, November 20, 1915. (2 reels)
Written and directed by Charles Chaplin. Photographed by Rollie Totheroh. With Chaplin in a dual role: as Mr. Pest, a gentleman in evening clothes, and as Mr. Rowdy, a bum; Edna Purviance (lady in orchestra), Dee Lampton (the fat boy), Leo White (Frenchman and Negro in balcony), May White (dancer), Bud Jamison (singer), James T. Kelly, John Rand, Paddy McGuire. (Also known as Charlie at the Show.)
Mr. Pest causes as much disturbance in the orchestra as Mr. Rowdy in the balcony. The former changes his seat several times and annoys the musicians. Then he proceeds to interfere with the performers on the stage. Rowdy throws icecream cones from the balcony and Mr. Pest, borrowing a fat boy's pie, squelches some sour singers. Alarmed at the Fire Eater, Rowdy turns the fire hose on the stage, also drenching the audience. Outstanding scenes: Seated next to a homely woman, Mr. Pest quickly changes his seat, turns and applauds the woman as part of the show; flirting with a girl, he accidentally takes her husband's hand; he scratches a match on an oriental dancer's bare feet; the last close-up of Charlie with a broken umbrella over his head.
