„His own ideal image“

Editorial content. „MANCHESTER FILMS AND VARIETY

      Chaplin‘s Modern Times at the Gaumont

      Modern Times, by one of those bewildering dispensations

of the film industry, has taken so many months to reach

Manchester that nobody would dare to call it ,Charlie Chaplin‘s

new film.‘ For all we know they may at this very moment

be showing one of later date in London, the Isle of

Man, Treorchy, or Ardnamurchan. However, here it is at the

Gaumont at last, and it is so good that we are compelled

to let bygones be bygones.

      in Modern Times Chaplin proves again what the whole world

already acknowledges – that he is the greatest artist

of the silent screen as apart from the half-theatrical talking

screen, the most eloquent master of mime, and the

simplest, most essential, and most touching of comedians.“ (...)

      „He has created his own ideal image of the world,

or, rather, of human nature.

                                                                                       R. K.“
