An interesting narrative structure, but not nearly enough laughs.

This is best appreciated for its narrative inventiveness, as a drunken Charlie appears to be recounting for his barmates his former life as an important artist. The nice blend of tragic-comedy never works as well as it should, but I can appreciate this early attempt of Chaplin to get at what would become second-nature to him later.
