A list of Charlie Chaplin films for toy projectors. 16mm and 35mm.

[Doug Sulpy]

Here's an amended list of just the 16mm toy films, filled out with what
few titles I have. Title in parenthesis are best guess. Titles in
parenthesis with asterisks are confirmed. P.S. - Darren, wow... they
actually issued 10 ft. lengths of 35mm? What would that last? About 12
seconds? Sheesh... hardly worth threading the thing! :-)

Oh, no. My copy of "Balled Up" is from "Caught In The Rain"!! Now we
have to worry about *different* clips being issued under the same
title...???!!!

Hi, I have recently acquired two 50 ft 16 mm Charlie toy films made by Exclusive Movies that I can’t find on your list. One is called “Moving Day,” and it is from “His Musical Career.” The other one is a bit of a mystery. It’s called “Fast Worker,” and I expected it to be from Modern Times, but it instead shows Charlie digging a ditch. I’ve seen most of Charlie’s films, but I have never seen this clip. Any ideas?

I have one Keystone film, can't recall the title, but I do remember that Chaplin is in a dinning room and gets a turkey stuck on his foot. Anyone recognize that scenario from one of the title on Darren's list?

Best,

It's possible that some of these could be from "Her Friend The Bandit"(only Chaplin's film thought to be "lost")
