Year :: 1914
Cast :
Production :: Keystone
Description :: This is the only Chaplin Keystone comedy that appears to be no longer extant. Chaplin plays the bandit of the film’s title who captures Count De Beans (Charles Murray) and commanders his evening clothes and invitation card to and pose as the aristocrat at an elegant reception held by Mrs. De Rocks (Mabel Normand) home. Charlie enjoys himself tremendously until the Keystone Cops arrive. Moving Picture World wrote in their review of the film that Chaplin and Charles Murray 'play the chief funny characters of this farce which is a bit thin; but it has the rough whirling of happenings usually found in farces of this well-marked type.' Chaplin revisited ideas from this comedy in such later films as The Count (1916), The Rink (1916), and The Idle Class (1921). Finished and shipped: May 22, 1914 Released: June 4, 1914 Scenario: Charles Chaplin Producer: Mack Sennett Director: Mack Sennett Length: One reel
