OVERALL: Draw

The US Flicker Alley set includes all the films together with proper NTSC transfers, and the "Charlie Butts In" short film.
The French and German releases have a featurette on Volume 1, but use NTSC to PAL transfers.
The UK releases have an essay and gallery, identical on the two volumes, but use NTSC to PAL transfers and have mono scores rather than stereo.

Further information on the Chaplin Essanay films and their many releases can be found at Brenton Films' Charlie Chaplin Collectors’ Guide, Part 2.
