Charlot garçon de théâtre (1914)
Charlot est accessoiriste dans un music-hall. Le spectacle du soir met en scène, entre autres, le duo de danseuses «The Goo-Goo Sisters», l'homme-fort «Garlico» et le couple de vaudeville «George Ham et Lena Fat».Dans un premier temps, Charlot et son vieux collègue doivent faire face aux caprices des différents artistes avant et pendant les répétitions. Les deux compagnons doivent notamment transporter les lourdes malles de Garlico et gérer les jalousies dues aux attributions de loge.Vient ensuite le moment du spectacle. Le premier numéro, celui des Goo-Goo Sisters, est mis à mal par le vieux machiniste qui rencontre des problèmes avec les rideaux, et par Charlot qui n'hésite pas à monter sur scène pour observer de plus près les deux jolies jeunes sœurs. Les numéros suivants se succèdent alors qu'une bagarre éclate en coulisses. Le spectacle se transforme alors en une véritable cacophonie que Charlot décide d'abréger en arrosant toute la troupe ainsi que le public.
