„A choice piece of entertainment“

Editorial content. „Charlie Chaplin in City Lights.“ (...)

      „Superb silent comedy smash with Chaplin at his best

in a fine combination of slapstick and pathos, bound

to be a cleanup.

      Strictly on its merits, and aside from any controversy

or curiosity over silents vs. talkers, Charlie Chaplin‘s

new picture is a choice piece of entertainment. It is practically

all Chaplin, of course, but that‘s what the fans want

and expect, so from a b. o. standpoint it is a foregone natural.

in with the riotous comedy there is a trend of a pathetic

little love drama, a romance between Charlie and a blind flower

girl, Virginia Cherrill.“ (...)

      „Direction, Aces. Photography, Fine.“
