This is redeemed in part by the acts that parade across the stage throughout. However, Chaplin is in full "angry Charlie" mode, fighting with people, causing a ruckus, and generally being unpleasant and unhelpful. While a few of the set pieces are funny, all of it seems to have an unkind edge that's pretty distasteful.

These early pieces with Chaplin as an unlikeable oaf are not to my liking.

Charlie's character really comes across as an oafish asshole in this, one that stems from how other people act to him, yet he is applauded for his behaviour rather than thrown out from the show -- and for that I like this all the better.

It's not Chaplin's best material by a long stretch, but there's variety enough.
