The Masquerader

1914 · 12 min

A featherlight silent romp of slapstick chaos, cross-dressing gags and a frantic studio chase that breezes by in minutes.

Overview
Charlie plays an actor who bungles several scenes and is kicked out. He returns convincingly dressed as a lady and charms the director, but Charlie never makes it into the film.
