Jack the Giant Killer and Miss E. Lectric Fan“ (...)
Miss McC. – I wanted to find out why you are
so opposed to comedies – I just love ‘em!
JACK – I‘m not opposed to comedies. I just love ‘em,
too. Tell me where there is one to be shown and
I‘ll be there as soon as the doors are open this afternoon.
MISS McC. – Why, there‘s a Keystone comedy
at the Knickerbocker, and a dandy Sunshine comedy at the
Strand.
JACK – Horrors! Do you call them comedies?
MISS McC. – Sure, dont you? No? Then

JACK – I dont call them. They dont deserve to be called.
They are simply idiotic absurdities intended for
low-brows who haven‘t the intelligence to appreciate
real wit and humor.
Miss McC. – And would you say that of Chaplin?
JACK – No, Chaplin is an artist – sometimes,
not always, but sometimes. The last of his I saw quite
smelly. Shoulder Arms was a masterpiece.“ (...)
