A Night in the Show and The Rink with Dave Drazin

These two short films demonstrate the remarkable growth of Chaplin as a cinematic artist. Both have their origins in Chaplin’s vaudeville days with Fred Karno. 

A Night at the Show (1915), produced for the Essanay Company, was adapted from the sketch Mumming Birds and features Chaplin in a dual role as Mr. Pest and Mr. Rowdy.

A Night in the Show & The Rink

Chaplin starred in and directed A Night in the Show in 1915 at Majestic Studio in Los Angeles. The film was based on a turn-of-the-century English music hall play called Mumming Birds, which Chaplin often performed during his touring days with Fred Karno’s pantomime troupe.

In the film, Chaplin plays dual roles as Mr. Pest and Mr. Rowdy, audience members who demolish all theater etiquette and create a climax of chaos before the curtain drops.
