Charles Chaplin by Witzel
(...) Supplement to The Chicago Sunday Tribune,

„He‘s a great waster of film“
Editorial content. „Right off the Reel“ (...)
„The popular supposition that Charles Chaplin produces
a picture by just dashing out anything that comes
into his head is all wrong, says a man who knows him well.
,Mr. Chaplin dashes through scenarios just about
the way a watchmaker dashes through the work of repairing
the repeater. All the uproariously funny Chaplin farces
have been made slowly and painfully. He never works from
a regular scenario, but after getting the idea evolves
the story when the actors are before the camera. He rarely
tells the people in his cast what to do – he shows
them. He locates his own locations. He‘s a great waster
of film. One of Mr. Chaplin‘s latest and best pictures
in which you see him in a favorite pose may be found in another
part of the paper. We hope you will like it.“
