„Chaplin at his height, which is very high indeed“

Editorial content. „Insiders‘ Outlook

      By Red Kann

      Second day thoughts on Modern Times: There

is, as, of course, expected, a tremendous interest in Charlie

Chaplin‘s first feature in five years.“ (...)

      „Many are the places where Chaplin, relegating direct comedy

business into the background, makes scenes notable through

his ability in pantomime. One of the most delightful occurs in the

cafe where a cuff carrying the lyrics of his song flies to the

wall and Charlie is compelled to bluff his way through with jumbled

lyrics in his own Esperanto. His interwinding of jargon,

funny little dance steps and story planting through gestures

is a gem of its kind and Chaplin at his height, which is

very high indeed.“

     Modern Times world premiere is in New York Feb. 5, 1936

      at the Rivoli Theatre.

      Rivoli Theatre, Broadway at 49th Street, New York.
