The Cure
CHARLIE Will be seen in the Twentieth Century scream, "The Cure." his latest production from the laugh factory; fresh, snappy, ludicrous-a whirlwind of mirth and merriment with the esteemed Charles in a gloom-destroying role. (Print Ad-Hearst's Sunday American, ((Atlanta, Ga.)) 15 April 1917)
Charlie goes to a spa to dry out, but he takes a trunk of liquor with him. He tangles with another's gouty foot in a revolving door. Later he thinks the gouty man is making love signs to him (he doesn't Edna, the real object of the man's efforts), so he signs back. He interpets a massage to be a wrestling match. When management throws his liquor into the fountain, when flow the healthful waters, everyone gets drunk.
