This time around, The
Tramp is played
by Bonnie McCourt. A little role reversal that yields little hints of
Charlie,
in a most hilarious and touching way. Chris Snowden plays The Tramp’s
love
interest, with just the right touch of emotional feeling. His love of
this
time and place really comes shining though. The farmer is played by
Jack
Totheroh, who starred in his first Essanay picture in 1915. Wait until
you see the painting scene - just too funny! David Totheroh plays the
farmer's
helper. Watch him get the worst end of the stick, as he and The Tramp
go
to work making funny business. David Kiehn, David Freedman and
Gerald
Smith play hobo characters well enough to make the ghost of Leo White
stand
up and cheer. Nancy Kauffman does a fine job playing the farmer's son
city
girlfriend. And Genevieve Freedman plays the poet with a slight
twist.
