i have see quite a few chaplin short from early in his career and i have notice that his early stuff ( do for keystone studio ) be pretty dreadful stuff . unlike his wonderful full length film from the 20 and 30 and the film from 1914 1915 be incredibly poorly make have no script but only vague instruction from the director . in most case and the film have almost no plot and degenerate to people punch and kick each other . this film consist of a lot of barroom scene as well a scene where charlie be an artist . apparently and he would be an artist but it all go to piece when his love leave him for another . oddly and the caption say two month later between scene . after only two month and he see her and her new beau and they have get a bunch of kid some look at least 6 or 8. this and the paint on him that appear and then disappear due to bad edit make this an odd and confusing picture . unfortunately and none of the stuff be particularly interesting .
