„City Lights“ And Silents
Rumblings of the return of the silents continue as the release
date of Mons. Chaplin‘s muted opera, „City Lights,“ draws
near. Producers, seeking to emulate the master pantomimist
of all time and produce pictures without dialogue,
will, in our modest opinion, be flirting with a 100 to 1 shot.
And some will take the gamble sure as tomorrow.
The talking screen of today is no different from the talking
stage of yesterday. There always has been,
is, and always will be room for the artist whose genius runs
to pantomime. Chaplin, finished master of mimicry,
will continue as successful on the talking screen as he was in the
silents or on the stage. Long before pictures, his work,
which we well remember, in „A Night in an English Music Hall“
and „A Night at the Club,“ stamped him as the greatest
pantomimist of all time. Others less gifted, trying to combat the
march of progress, will be playing with fire.
