Charlie Chaplin was seen at the Strand, in his new comedy,
„Sunnyside.“ Of course it doesn‘t differ much from any
of his previous pictures, for to have Charlie different would
be fatal, but he has some new bits of business in it
when it would seem that he had exhausted every source.
For instance, he is so engaged in his book
that the cows go on to pasture without him and when he finally discovers that he is treading the primrose path alone
he is frantic. He rushes back along the path he has come and,
meeting a huge tramp, examines him to see if he is one
of the missing cows and then goes on in his mad hunt for his
bovine companions.
Charlie is the „hired man“ in the Hotel Sunnyside. He has
a master who insists on kicking him whenever he stands
up. But one day Charlie goes to sleep and dreams. Unlike most
of Charlie‘s dreams, it is not a pleasant one, for he dreams
that Edna Purviance has left him for a city chap. So he is thankful
when he awakes and finds the faithful Edna with her brass
engagement ring on her first finger.
Everyone says it is as good as „A Dog‘s Life,“ and it is as
good as „Shoulder Arms?“ But we cannot answer that.
It seems better, but that may be because we haven‘t seen
Charlie for so long that we have had a chance to forget
just how alluring he is.
