A Clean Sweep (1918)

Moving Picture Weekly ad for A CLEAN SWEEP (1918) with Charlie of the Orient

Rip Roaring
L-KO

"A Clean Sweep"
featuring CHARLIE of the Orient
the only Chinese Comedian in Pictures.

Charlie of the Orient
in this rip snortin' L-KO -- "A CLEAN SWEEP" -- shows a brand of "Chinese comedy" that's entirely new in this country. Safe to say that Charlie of the Orient introduces for the first time to American screens a line of oriental laughs that have never been seen before. Charlie is a mighty good bet for your advertising, for there has not appeared to date a real Chinese comedian, and you can make "meat" of Charlie's appearance in your house in this L-KO. Book this and all forthcoming L-KO'S, also the past releases. They are all laugh getters, and you can't show too many comedies now in war times. The people want them all.
