Ralph Barton, New Yorker, New York, July 23, 1927.

A unique impression of Charlie Chaplin, whose latest picture,

„The Circus,“ is at Loew‘s Metropolitan this week.

(...) Drawing, Brooklyn Daily Eagle, N. Y., March 4, 1928

„A middle-aged lady and her rather pretty daughter“

Editorial content. „PICKING ON CHARLIE CHAPLIN

      (An Argument Delivered with Bias and Emotion)“

      Caricature. „December, January, February,

      March, April, May, June, July –“

      THERE are, according to that fireside companion, the

World Almanac, 1,748,000,000 people in the world.

      Subtracting from this number a conservatively generous

500,000,000 to account for the inhabitants of certain

wilds of Oceania and the upper Amazon valley, the wastes

of western China and Thibet, the jungle regions

of Africa and the State ofTennessee, there remains a total

of 1,248,000,000 people in the world who know

who Charlie Chaplin is.

      Of this number, 1,247,999,998 people derive from him,

in more or less frequent doses, a very considerable

portion of their earthly happiness.

      The remainder, 2 in round numbers – a middle-aged

lady and her rather pretty daughter – have been

holding up all work on his newest and best film, The Circus,

since December last. In doing so, furthermore,

they are perfectly within their legal rights as citizens

of this Great Republic.“ (...)
