„Finger dancing“

Editorial content. „Inside Stuff

      on Vaudeville

      A similar bit of business occurs in the new Charlie Chaplin

picture, The Gold Rush, and Harold Lloyd‘s The Freshman

(not released until Sept. 20). It is the bit of both comedians when

on a dance floor commencing to lose their trousers.“ (...)

      „Also in the Chaplin picture is a piece of comedy business

new to the screen, and which will receive much credit

for originality. it is, however, a slight variation of the ,finger

dancing‘ as performed for a long while by Ward and

Culhane in vaudeville. Later Marty Culhane did the same thing

in Broadway cabarets. Chaplin adds his exquisite

pantomime to the bit, thereby taking it out of the usual.“ (...)
