Uploaded on Thursday 11 September 2014

DESCRIPTION

Charlie has trouble with actors luggage and conflicts over who gets the star's dressing room. There are further difficulties with frequent scene changes, wrong entries and a fireman's hose. At one point he juggles an athlete's supposed weights. The humor is still rough, he kicks an older assistant in the face and allows him to be run over by a truck.
The "Goo-Goo Sisters", billed as comediennes, two young girls dancing "Garlico" and his Feets of Strength, a strong-man aided by his beautiful assistant who gets knocked out just before she goes on stage, allowing Charlie to step in. "Sorrow" a drama performed by a man and woman. During the performances we see the audience reaction throughout, ranging from delight to booing.Backstage Charlie and an old man fight, often distrupting the on-stage performances. The audience also break into a fight, and a hose brought out behind the scenes ends up squirted over them.
