Auction History Result 9y347 CHASE ME CHARLIE LC R1920s Tramp Charlie Chaplin in staredown with guy in top hat by lady! Date Sold 10/9/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1920s) Re-Release Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Chase Me Charlie, the 1918 Charles Chaplin & Langford Reed comedy short anthology ("A Chaplin Jingle"; "A British version of Charlie Chaplin's funniest films --- taken from the famous Essanay-Chaplin comedies"; a compilation of excerpts from Charlie Chaplin's short films including The Tramp, Shanghaied, In the Park, The Bank, By the Sea, A Night Out, The Champion, The Woman, and His New Job) starring Charles (Charlie) Chaplin, Edna Purviance, Leo White, Ben Turpin, Chester Conklin and Bronco Billy. Note that Essanay/Perfection Pictures released this compilation of Chaplin shorts in 1918 (after he had moved to First National), and that Citation Films gave this silent comedy compilation a full scale re-release in 1959, over 40 years later! Note that this movie was produced by "Perfection Pictures". This was created in 1917 by a merger of three legendary film companies of the earlier 1910s, Essanay, Thomas A. Edison, Inc., and George Kleine. We know that Perfection Pictures produced at least a couple dozen movies between 1917 and 1925, and we suspect that they also re-released some movies from the above three studios that were made prior to 1917. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this card is undated, but we believe it to be from the 1920s (it could be from the first 1918 release, but we have seen a title card from that set that has Essanay on it and their logo, and this one is different, so we think it is more likely an early 1920s re-release). Also, we don't know which of the original Chaplin shorts the scene on this card is from, or who the two actors are with Chaplin. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: fair to good. There are blue pen or pencil marks in the girl's chin and neck, and some pinholes, stains, smudges, and a tear around the edges. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
