In Chaplin´s Essanay Comedies, made in 1915, cinema´s greatest comedian was first able to build his screen work around his performance style rather than forcing himself, as before, into Mack Sennett´s frenzied Keystone comedy matrix. With this freedom Chaplin evolved in a year from the gag comedian of "His New Job" to the brilliant pantomimist of "A Night Out," "The Champion," "The Tramp" and "Shanghaied" to the profound satirist of "Police." Volume 1 includes: "His New Job," "A Night Out," "The Champion," "In the Park," "A Jitney Elopement" (all 1915).
