I have a feeling it probably is another thing pieced together by Essanay, but even if that is what it turns out to be, it would be interesting to see.

Here's a bit of an update. If it does turn out the Chaplin footage is outtakes from the films mentioned, I think we'd all like to see them.

Here is some other info. And I know that pictures 1 and 6 are from one of the Keystones (the one where he is reading the Police Gazette at the beginning, so it is not only bits from Essanays (for example, The Tramp, which you can see in picture #4.).

Interesting. I wonder when we will get to see this?
