The Idle Class (1921)
Deze film is de eerste die Chaplin voor de maatschappij First National draaide. Chaplin speelt een dubbelrol. Hij is zowel de arme zwerver als de onuitstaanbare rijkaard. Op een gemakserd bal zijn hun rollen verwisseld, maar de arme sloeber die verkleed is als een ridder in een harnas, durft de vizier van zijn helm niet te openen! Deze zwijgende film is niet te versmaden. Het camerawerk is van Roland (Rollie) H. Totheroh.
