Charlie‘s Pathetic Clown
Sparkles in 4-Star Silent Film Premiere

„Charlie Chaplin gets our four-star vote!
We‘re exhausted!
We‘re exhausted because we laughed so much and
so heartily at City Lights that we feel considerably
weakened.“ (...)
„Perhaps the most important thing to say about the new
Chaplin offering is that, on viewing it, you react exactly
the way you did to Charlie‘s films some ten years ago. He‘s still
the wholly ingratiating, wistful, mischievous, mad, intellectual
clown. He‘s spontaneous. He‘s fresh. He‘s – well, he‘s
thoroughly human. He is the clown as Mr. Chaplin portrays
him; not an actor enacting a role. Here the clown
is all-important.“ (...)
„Charlie took a stage bow, beamingly, and so overwhelmed
by this New York welcome that he was unable to say anything, save that he was happy.“
