Behind the Screen Scenes

& Charles Chaplin

in this picture looks as if he had just been rehearsing the rôle

of Hamlet. It is hard to associate „Charlie,“ the comedian,

with this likeness of him. Although so well known as a laugh

producer, the public knows little about his life behind

the screen. He was born in a suburb of London of a theatrical

family, twenty-six years ago, and began his stage

career at seven as a clog dancer. Before he attained fame

as a picture actor he was popular as The Funny Drunk

in „A Night in an English Music Hall.“

Anzeige. Der Titel: „Nächster Chaplin am 13. November.“

Der Text: „Behind the Screen ist der Titel des nächsten

Mutual Chaplin Spezial Spielfilms. Das Datum des Filmstarts ist 13.

November. Dieses Datum ist zwei Wochen später als das

geplante Datum, aber die kommende Produktion ist so erstaunlich

und erforderte so viele spezielle Bühnenbilder, dass

es für das Beste gehalten wurde, das Datum des Filmstarts

zu verschieben und die Produktion zu einer zu machen,

über die in den kommenden Monaten gesprochen wird. Es geht

um das Leben in einem Filmstudio.“
