Some would call Chaplin the greatest film comedian ever, and while I'm not 100% sold on the idea, I can't disagree 100% either. He's definitely great, so as an Easter present to you all, here's his classic 1916 short, EASY STREET. I'll probably post a Harry Langdon with Vernon Dent, and when that's posted, I think you guys will have a great silent comedy introduction.
PS: To prove films weren't ever really clean, keep your eyes open for the heroin gag later on in this short.
