Laughing Gas

The Last Chaplin Film Is A Countess from Hong Kong

Laughing Gas by Charles Chaplin, 1914:



Charlie, assistant to the dentist "Dr. Pain" / Hits two men in the face with Keystone bricks; they consequently drool broken teeth / Has a day ever passed in the United States where no citizen bashed the tooth of another? / The end goes back to the beginning — in and out of rooms, A Countess from Hong Kong, the final Chaplin film, the one sanctioning bodies don't acknowledge
