„To the old way of laughing with one another“
Editorial content. „THE NEW CHAPLIN FILM
The trouble with the latest Chaplin film is that in the
planning of it an eye was not kept exclusively
on Chaplin; it was, in fact, written round a dog which came
into the great man‘s life by circumstances now
historic.“ (...)
„Still, Chaplin works with the poor material in A Dog‘s
Life as an artist will – making bricks without straw
straw miraculously, – and no doubt whole continents will sit
in turn before the film and shake. It is, at any rate,
good to think that they will. There is nothing but goodwill and
kindliness in Chaplin‘s fun, which seems to appeal for
a return to nature in the usages of laughter – a change from
our modern way of laughing at one another (the
,social gesture‘!) to the old way of laughing with one another.
We can scarcely get too much fun of this sort
in these days.“
