Screen capture from The New Janitor.

On 14 September 1914, the movie The New Janitor starring Charlie Chaplin was released through Keystone Studios.

Chaplin signed his first contract with Keystone Studios in 13 December 1913 after a four year stint in Vaudeville. He thought it would be beneficial to his vaudeville career if he were to make a few movies. Chaplin eventually did 34 short films and one feature film with Keystone Studios.

Charlie Chaplin was not real happy with the slapstick comedy at Keystone and asked the head of Keystone Studios, Mack Sennett, to let him write and direct his next movies. One of them was The New Janitor. He decided he wanted to portray himself as a hero. The New Janitor was Charlie’s 27^th movie and is about a janitor that eventually becomes a hero.

Prior to The New Janitor, Charlie Chaplin starred in a movie called Mabel’s Strange Predicament (1914) where his “little tramp” was born. By the time The New Janitor was made seven months later, Chaplin was already a household name and a beloved character on screen.

I will leave you with a quote from Lewis Jacob’s The Rise of the American Film (1939), “To think of Charlie Chaplin is to think of the movies.”
