Browsing through the Library of Congress catalog, I came upon this, under a search for Chaplin...
Brief Description: Caught in a park. United States : Keystone Film Co., 1915. 1 reel of 1 (391 ft.) : si., b&w ; 16 mm. ref print. 1 reel of 1 (916 ft.) : si., b&w ; 35 mm. dupe neg ntr. 1 reel of 1 (916 ft.) : si., b&w ; 35 mm. masterpos. 1 reel of 1 (391 ft.) : si., b&w ; 16 mm. dupe neg. 1 reel of 1 (916 ft.) : si., b&w ; 35 mm. paper (2 copies)
Let's see... 'Caught In The Rain' was issued by Official Films as 'In The Park,' so perhaps somehow the titles got combined into 'Caught In a Park.' This WAS a Keystone Film, but was made in 1914, not 1915... the 1915 film was 'In The Park', and that was an Essanay... But the real mystery, of course, is the final listing here, that says there's a 35mm paper print on file (2 copies of it, in fact!) lasting 916 ft, and a 35mm dupe negative nitrate... well, that blows the Official Films theory out the window, but the Library itself has said it only has paper material on 'Dough and Dynamite' and 'Gentlemen of Nerve'... so what on EARTH could this possibly be?
