Synopsis
The Rink (1916) is a Charlie Chaplin short comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Chaplin directs, writes and stars: his Tramp wreaks havoc as a clumsy waiter, then slips off on his lunch break to go roller skating.
At the rink he glides circles around a hulking bully (Eric Campbell), flirts with a young woman (Edna Purviance), and crashes her party posing as the dapper Sir Cecil Seltzer. Thirty minutes of pure physical comedy on wheels — Chaplin skates as if he were born on them. One of the liveliest shorts from his run at the Mutual studio. Stream The Rink (1916) online on iFILM.
