'Chaplin Today' Scene of Earlier Chaplin Movie?

On the DVD in supplement section of "Chaplin Today" there were a few spinets of scenes that showed Chaplin, a much younger man, in his "Tramp" persona on a ship coming into New York Harbor, looking at the Statue of Liberty (presumably, going to Ellis Island). I've seen a good many Chaplin movies and am always willing to see another. Does anyone know the title to this movie?

The Immigrant?

[–] mlevens1 16 years ago

Hey thanks.

I rented Chaplin's The Immigrant (1917) a twenty-minute comedy short. It's on "The Charlie Chaplin Marathon", a DVD collection of this, The Rink, The Vagabond, and the feature (credited as the first feature-length comedy movie): Tellie's Punctured Romance, which I think is the only Chaplin movie I've seen where he didn't direct or write.

Anyway, thanks for the title.
