THE ASTOR REVIEW

Charlie Chaplin’s two years at Mutual were among the most prolific and successful periods in his career, giving him creative freedom to produce many varied comedy classics such as The Rink (1916) which features fantastic and funny skating scenes; Easy Street (1917) in which Charlie becomes a cop and somehow manages to thwart and capture the big bully of this slum alley; and The Adventurer (1917), full of mischief and mayhem as Charlie is an escaped convict eluding the cops!
