„The man who can bring laughter back“

Editorial content. „Charlie Chaplin As

      Soldier Invigorator

      LONDON, Dec. 28. – While many Americans have never

been satisfied because Charlie Chaplin didn‘t get

into the British army, the English seem to have been satisfied

with the service he has rendered. At least the London

Express says this:

      ,Charlie Chaplin is the man who cheers up the troops

in France. Think of a battalion coming out of the

line, covered with mud, worn out through broken sleep,

easily fatigued because their muscles have grown

slack through insufficient exercise, froway and dirty. If you could

hear the great roar of laughter that bursts from those

tired men when Charlie Chaplin shuffles into the film with his

queer half-jump, half-jerk of a walk, you would feel

that the man who can bring laughter back to those men has

done them a great service.“
