Charles Chaplin at Shoulder Arms Set

„Even costuming seems easy in such environment“

Editorial content. „After Lunch at Chaplin‘s Studio

      When Chaplin went out to La Brea avenue, in Hollywood,

he told his architects to build him a palace of humor

that would have the homelike spaces of an English manor-house.

So, after the noon feed-bag is taken off, you may find

a lot of huskies on a sunlit patch of sand shooting a medicine

ball at each other.“ (...)

      „Here, at least, Chaplin realism is not accentuated.“ (...)

      „Subject, a stenographer and a rose. We know the rose

is pretty, for we saw it. You can see the stenographer

for yourself, so why shouldn‘t you get right into the contest

and write your own lyric? Try it – it surely wont be any

worse than ours!“ (...)

      „Beholding this pleasant-faced lady and her evident

occupation we started to write a pun to the effect

that even costuming seems easy in such environment.“ (...)

      Four photos.
