& Charlie Chaplin

est un grand artiste, vous le savez tous, mais vous devez

savoir aussi que l‘on vous donne maintenant

de très vieux films de lui, sans vous dire qu‘ils sont

antérieurs aux douze ou quinze délicieuses

créations que vous avez acclamées. Donc ne dites

pas que Charlie Chaplin, dit Charlot, est

en décadence, au contraire! Et reclamez, comme nous,

ses trois derniers films, qui ont enchanté

New-York, Londres, et la moitié de la terre – et que

nous attendons.

& Over the hills, to the northwest, was Jerry speaking

to us with the deep gutturals of Big Berthas.

In the badly damaged village where we billeted, the

incessant rain muddled the Grand Rue,

running in a yellow stream along the gutters, bearing

the refuse of stables. In the shack of wood

and galvanized iron where a sheet was hung, a smoking

crowd of doughboys mingled with an equally

odorous throng of poilus. There had crept in a few timid

civilians – old men and women, and fresh,

village maidens.

      We saw Chaplin‘s war comedy, „Shoulder Arms.“

We laughed, we shouted, we stamped, we swore

– great, round oaths, expressing joy.

      I remember him, camouflaged as a tree, standing

near the camp fire of a German outpost when

a burly, bearded Heinie seizes an ax and starts up. The

situation, with its inescapable dénouement, broke 

on us all with rib-cracking force.

      „Ooooh!“ screamed the village girl behind me.

„Il cherche le bois!“

      The girl, though she could not read the English

subtitles, nevertheless followed the adventures

of the ridiculous little Yank as well as we who spoke the

American tongue. She knew the Heinie was going

after wood and she anticipated in a flash the terrific scene

that would ensue when he began hewing at the

bark-inclosed figure of Charlot.
