A Jitney Elopement

A Jitney Elopement was Charlie Chaplins fifth film for Essanay Films. It starred Chaplin and Edna Purviance as lovers, with Purviance wanting Chaplin to take her away from an arranged marriage her father played by Fred Goodwins had planned for her. Chaplin does take her away in a jitney, a type of share taxi popular in the US between 1914 and 1916. Most of the film was made in San Francisco and includes scenes of San Franciscos Golden Gate Park and the large windmills still on the parks west side.
