The Rink (1916)
8/10
Roller madness
18 April 2023
Only seasoned pros populate this large Chaplin cast, Henry Bergman as Mrs. Stout and Eric Campbell as Mr. Stout stray in their affections. Chaplin reprises the waiter on a lunch break theme from Caught in a Cabaret, but here the combat is conducted on roller skates. In a Keystone mode, Chaplin throws these veteran scene stealers into the mix around his float like a butterfly choreography. True to farce, Bergman and Campbell, Kelly, Edna and Chaplin line up in a mutual recognition of being caught in the act, among the lasting scenes, also masterful roller skating capped by Chaplin's stunt of hitching himself to a ride on the street while chased by skaters. Ante Keaton and Lloyd.
