Motography, 22-January-1916

Last month we saw a story saying that Triangle had signed Charlie Chaplin and his brother Sydney to a contract:

The following week, Motography published a correction. 

Motography, 19-February-1916

"Charlie Chaplin left for New York.  He has many offers with his 'big salaries' attached, to appear in various concerns, it is said.  So long Charlie." 

Motography, 19-February-1916
"Charlie Chaplin arrived in New York City on the evening of February 4."

Moving Picture World, 26-February-1916
"Charlie is surely bidding for real money."

Meanwhile Essanay was advertising the forthcoming "Charlie Chaplin's Burlesque on Carmen."
