Hello Mafioso...
Just today I came across the identification of Chaplin's Keystone leading lady, previously tentatively ID'ed as Helen Carruthers or unfortunately labeled "Unknown Chaplin Heroine."
According to a few issues of Motion Picture Magazine, 1915, Vol X (courtesy of Google book search), I stumbled on the Answer Man's stating in four different instances that a "Miss Page" played opposite Chaplin in The New Janitor, His New Profession, Dough and Dynamite, and His Prehistoric Career. Further digging lead me to an article in the Jan 15, 1915 issue of Variety stating Miss Peggy Page (or possibly Paige), "who played comedy leads opposite Chas Chaplin in Keystone Comedies will be the leading woman" in C-K Comedies for Kriterion.
Are any of these early 1915 C-K Comedies extant for a further verification?
