The New Chief
(1909) United States of America
B&W : Split-reel
Directed by (unknown)

Cast: (unknown)

Lubin Manufacturing Company production; distributed by Lubin Manufacturing Company. / Produced by Siegmund Lubin. / Released 27 December 1909; in a split-reel with The Persistent Poet (1909). / Standard 35mm spherical 1.33:1 format.

Comedy.

Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 8 January 1910, page 16] A comedy which represents the boys fixing up to show the chief what wonderful things they do in the institution of which complaint has been made. A tramp is mistaken for the new chief and gets all the attention intended for the chief. The chief is mistaken for a tramp and gets what was intended for that unfortunate individual. The combinations are funny and bring about sufficient complicated situations to keep the audience laughing most of the time. It has the Lubin quality for fun, which is, in some respects, the best of them all.

Survival status: (unknown)
