The Property Man is a short 1914 American comedy silent film made by Keystone Studios starring Charlie Chaplin.
These are the performances for tonight: The woman from “Sorrow” decides to take the star’s dressing room, which Garlico has claimed by drawing his caricature on the wall.
Back in the dressing room, Garlico makes his bride ask Charlie to sew up his tights.
When “Sorrow” begins, a member of the audience (portrayed by Mack Sennett) boos and leaves, while Charlie and Garlico’s fight disrupts the onstage performance.
A reviewer from Bioscope wrote, "There are so many uproariously absurd situations in this Chaplin comic, all consequent upon the ardent desire of our friend 'Props' to run the whole of the affairs 'behind' that the vaudeville entertainment becomes one long chapter of unrehearsed happenings, much to the delight of an audience of which comical Mack Sennett forms a distinguished member.
