 Chaplin first appeared in this coun- tr-v in an English vaudeville act enti- lied eA Night in an EngEsh Music HaTl.~ in which he played the part of an tnebriated English flop. Mack Sen net. the greatest comedy director of them all, saw his performance in the act and saw at once the great possi- bilittes of this extraordinary come dian. Chaplin was approached and was hired at an enormous salary by the Keystone people and since then with the help of the producer Of his comedies, Mack Sonnet. he has made the Keystone comedies famous the world over.
