A Night Out (1915/I)

I had already seen this film on January 29, 2006, and you can find a synopsis and one line of review for it on this blog at that date. However, the version I have seen today is a restored one, with many differences in editing; many scenes that are featured in this restored version are not present in the one I previously saw. Conversely, and oddly, the reverse is also true, albeit in a much minor scale; some very short, and generally of little importance, scenes that are in the non-restored version are not in the restored one, most notable of which are Ben drinking the water Charlie gives him and Charlie trying to hang his trousers by the window and not letting them drop on the floor.
Some of the scenes that were not in the non-restored version (and are in the restored one) are:
- after Ben gives a friendly slap on Charlie's chest, all of a sudden he is seen lying inside the fountain, then Charlie also falls in the eating area, then the waiter slips and falls by the fountain, then he pulls Ben by the arm to his table;
- Chaplin makes his ablutions at the fountain;
- at the first hotel, Charlie peeks through the keyhole and is caught by the bellboy;
- at the second hotel, Charlie places his jacket and hat on the telephone set and shakes hands with his jacket;
- Charlie puts his trousers under the blanket;
- he falls on the floor;
- some intercalated scenes of Edna and her dog;
- Edna playing with dog (with shoe);
- Charlies tries to hang trousers on several places;
- in the bathroom, Charlie spreads a product on his hair and combs it.
