after chaplin make one of his best film represent dough and dynamite and he make one of his bad represent gentleman of nerve . during this first year in film and chaplin make about a third of all his film . many of them be experimental in term of ad libbing and editing and gag and location shooting and etc . this one take place at a racetrack where chaplin and his friend try to get in without pay . mabel normand be there with her friend also and and chaplin manages to rid himself of both his and mabel friend . he then woo mabel in the grandstand with no apparent repercussion from his behavior . lot of slapstick in here and but there be very little else to recommend this film for other then watch chaplin develop . the print i saw be badly deteriorate and which may have affect it enjoyment . charley chase can be glimpse . of 4 star .
