„A height sufficiently far above ground“

Editorial content. „Well, Mebbe So

      For his forthcoming United Artists Corporation

release Chaplin has been practicing tightrope

walking to a height sufficiently far above ground to make

any but an expert dizzy. And an expert Chaplin

has become.

      The work is in preparation for the star‘s work

in The Circus, and involves much more than straight

tightrope walking. The rôle requires stunts, such

as rope dancing and acrobatic stuff. Add to this the fact

that all the rope business takes place with the

performer wearing the large shoes so characteristic

of his comedy make-up, and an idea is obtained

of the difficulties to be met.

      ...You can believe this if you like, but darned

if you will.“
