Movies

Leading Lizzie Astray
Cafe Patron (uncredited)
A city slicker tries to woo a country girl while her boyfriend fixes his tire.
Fatty Again
Carnival Boss
Fatty experiences several reverses of fortunes in this boarding house story. He is first ejected for failure to pay his board. He then fixes up a postal card offering himself a handsome salary and is warmly welcomed back by the girl's parents. When the truth becomes known that he is really a sideshow barker, they again turn on him.
The New Janitor
Bank president
The hero, a janitor played by Chaplin, is fired from work for accidentally knocking his bucket of water out the window and onto his boss the chief banker (Tandy). Meanwhile, one of the junior managers (Dillon) is being threatened with exposure by his bookie for gambling debts unpaid. Thus the manager decides to steal from the company.
The Rounders
Diner
Two drunks fight with their wives and then go out and get even drunker.
His New Profession
Invalid Uncle
Charlie takes care of a man in a wheelchair.
The Masquerader
Actor / Villain
Charlie plays an actor who bungles several scenes and is kicked out. He returns convincingly dressed as a lady and charms the director, but Charlie never makes it into the film.
The Face on the Barroom Floor
Lover who stole Madeleine
A painter turned tramp (Chaplin), devastated by losing the woman he was courting as a wealthy man, finds himself drunk and getting drunker by the minute with some sailors at a bar until he's literally falling down. He keeps futilely trying to draw the woman's picture on the floor with a piece of chalk until he finally passes out cold (or perhaps dies, as in the poem) at the end of the film.
The Property Man
Garlico the Strong Man / Man in Audience
Charlie is in charge of stage "props" and has trouble with actors' luggage and conflicts over who gets the star's dressing room. Once the dressing-room issue is resolved the next issue is getting everyone on stage with the correct backdrop. Backstage Charlie and an old man fight, often disrupting the on-stage performances. The audience also break into a fight, and a hose brought out behind the scenes ends up squirted over them.
The Star Boarder
Boarder (uncredited)
A brat's magic lantern show exposes an indiscreet moment between a landlady and her star boarder.
His Favorite Pastime
Minor Role
A very plastered fella follows a pretty woman home, and proceeds to make a nuisance of himself.
