A leading light during the dawn of filmmaking, Charlie Chaplin revolutionized cinematic comedy. Although he spent only a year at Essanay Studios, Chaplin cranked out pictures like clockwork, perfecting his trademark persona -- the Little Tramp -- in the process. The Essanay Comedies provide an insightful look at a comic virtuoso. Volume 2 contains "The Tramp," "By the Sea," "Work," "A Woman," "The Bank" and "His Regeneration."
