„Up to date“

Editorial content. „CHARLES CHAPLIN brings the old

tramp costume up to date. This, in fact, is a hobo‘s Suppressed

Desire as revealed by a dream sequence in City Lights.

And it is Mr. Chaplin‘s satirical reminder that the tramp and the

ornamental officer are both members of the Loafers‘ Club.“

      Photo. Chaplin in a costume test as a handsome

      officer in an unused dream sequence for City Lights.
