Chaplin comedy compilation

Warning: Spoilers
COMEDY COCKTAIL is a short compilation of comedy routines from Charlie Chaplin, put out by E.J. Fancey who was always eager to make money from not very much at all. Essentially he collected together a few admittedly funny moments featuring Chaplin going through his comedy routines and added an American narrator.

I'm not sure where most of the clips are from but many of them feature Chaplin in a theatre where he plays a heckling old man and his normal character. A guy in blackface appears in the audience at one point and I think Fatty Arbuckle is briefly seen. The main problem with this is that the narrator is an idiot who adds ridiculously lowbrow and obvious comments to the otherwise silent clips, ultimately ruining them.

Chaplin compilation
razetter28 July 2018
This is a 15 minute compilation of early Chaplin shorts. The longest sequence is from "A Night in the Show" which takes up most of the running time. In addition there are brief clips from "The Bank" and "His Musical Career" plus a few others.
