The Circus Clippings 359/376

Film Daily, New York, February 1, 1929.

Let‘s Take Stock

      FILM DAILY, a leading trade publication in the commercial

motion picture field, has published its annual list of the

ten best best photoplays of 1928, as established by the votes

of 295 critics, representing 326 newspapers, twenty-nine

trade and fan publications and three newspaper syndicates. (...)

      „Four Sons“ we considered banal. (...) „The Circus“

had nothing cinematic to recommend it; that is, it was told

in the antiquated technique of the photoplay of five

or ten years ago. The story itself was negligible. Chaplin,

and that is always worth-wile but he was not a new

or an interesting Chaplin as compared to his earlier portrayals.

It was superbly mimetic but without any evidence

of an advance in the quality of his intelligence or his acting.
