Editorial content. „Charlie Chaplin in

      The Circus

      United Artists     

      Length: 6700 ft.

      SMAH BANG COMEDY. A LULU AND

      CHAPLIN‘S FIRST IN OVER TWO YEARS.

      A SWEET BABY.

      Cast...The one and only Charlie in the kind of a role

that made him famous – right down to the hurling

of a pie. Merna Kennedy as the girl is satisfactory. Others

Allan Garcia, Harry Crocker, Henry Bergman.

Chaplin, however, is the whole show.

      Story and Production...The Circus is a circus, from

the opening shot to the last flicker. The story is well

developed and the gags even more so. The detail? What

does it matter? Sufficient that Charlie is on the

screen every minute, pulling his comical tricks in his

cleverest and most accomplished style. The

situations are very funny and all of them are played for

everything they are worth. Chaplin is the old

Chaplin once again. Still pathetic, but in the kind of part

that the public knows and loves best. The picture

is there from any and all angles. Be sure to book it and

don‘t worry about the rest.“ (...)

      Strand Theatre, 1579 B‘way (at 47th St.), New York.
