I like the designs of these ads for Chaplin's four reel ("His first big picture since 'The Kid'") "The Pilgrim" and Ben Turpin's "The Shriek of Araby."

Men of the cloth in Walla Walla Washington did not find "The Pilgrim" amusing.

Everyone else found "The Pilgrim" amusing. This item claims that it played at 130 theaters served by FBO's Manhattan Exchange in the same week.

First National ordered 200 prints and planned to order 25 more. These were big numbers at the time.

Meanwhile, Harry Aiken, formerly of the Mutual, was planning to repackage Keystone comedies, especially those with Chaplin made during 1914.

We saw last month that there were strong rumors that Chaplin was going to marry Pola Negi. In this item, Chaplin claimed that he was "too poor" to marry her. That will sound hilarious to people who know that Chaplin was rich but will be understandable to people who remember that he grew up in terrible poverty.
