This is from 'The Adventurer'.
'Charlie Chaplin as a lifeguard' is actually part of his final two reeler for the Mutual Company entitled 'The Adventurer'. It was released on October 23, 1917.
This was the last of what is considered to be Chaplin's finest series of two reelers. He made a dozen for Mutual between 1916 & 1917.
Besides Chaplin 'regulars' Edna Purviance, Eric Campbell & Henry Bergman we also see Toraichi Kono in a bit part. He was Chaplin's chauffeur.

from "The Adventurer" from 1917
this clip is from the chaplin short titled "The Adventurer" in which the tramp escapes from jail, swims out to sea when chased by the cops, and rescues 2 drowning victims. the grateful party invites the tramp to their mansion/party, and the rest of his time is split between wooing edna purviance and eluding the police. a great flik!
