„A Chaplinesque talent for mimicry“
Editorial content. „What‘s the Matter with Chaplin?
Why has the world‘s greatest entertainer stopped
producing? Here is the answer, told by a man
who knows Chaplin, and who gives us an unusually
intimate pen picture of the great film comedian
By Herbert Howe
IT seems to be the fashion just now to take a furtive
boot at Charlie Chaplin where he is most sensitive.
Slapstick artists of the press have been banging him about
the ears with the hot-air bladder. Their evangelical
purpose is to chastise him for his sins of omission and

„Chaplin has had family claims, too, but they haven‘t
been the sort to give him recreation. He was about

justice or injustice of her claims. We only wish that Ma and
Pa Chaplin would quit squabbling over The Kid and
give us the custody.“ (...)
„Chaplin found zest in his work by the discovery and
development of Jack Coogan, a genius of five years,
who has a Chaplinesque talent for mimicry. So great was
Charlie‘s delight in the response he obtained
from the child that he built the entire story about him,
as indicated by the title.“ (...)
