Was that Chaplin interjecting at 12:17 and 12:31 ?
And WTH were those wicker tourist carts propelled by??

That's not Chaplin - someone using the tramp costume. Those wicker contraptions are electric cars - using huge heavy rechargeable batteries - serviced by Edison Co. Search on google "electric cars in the 1900's". Less than 25% of the circulating cars used gasoline.
