What happens
A Night in the Show is a 1915 film and Charlie Chaplin's 12th for Essanay. It was made at Majestic Studio in Los Angeles. Chaplin played two roles: one as Mr. Pest and one as Mr. Rowdy. The film was created from Chaplin's stage work from a play called Mumming Birds (a.k.a. A Night in an English Music Hall in the United States) with the Karno Company from London. Chaplin performed this play during his U.S. tours with Fred Karno's company and decided to bring one of the classic music hall sketches into his film work. Edna Purviance played a minor role as a woman in the audience. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
