& A new Charlie Chaplin film is to be shown in the middle
of next month. It is called „Sunnyside,“ and provides
a rural setting for its hero. An early Chaplin production called
„The Tramp“ – one of the best of these crude but
immensely promising comedies – was woven round pretty
much the same idea. When „Sunnyside“ is exhibited
practically everyone who patronises the kinema
at all will no doubt make an effort to see it. It is an amazing
proof not of the popularity of Chaplin entirely
but also of his isolation. He is not only the cleverest screen
comedian: he is almost the only one.
In discussing film comedies and comedians, the work
of American producers alone has to be considered.
France has her own comic actors, but they are not well known
in this country, as the French ideas of humour are
different from ours, and would in many cases have difficulty
in slipping past Mr. T. P. O‘Connor. In England the
wealth of screen comedy is practically untapped. We have
had a few cartoon drawings by Bairnsfather and
others, but as the real comedian of the piece is working
out of sight they do not count for more than clever
drawings. We can claim Chaplin as a fellow-countryman,
though he has done all his work in America, but
apart from him there is no British film actor with any
pretensions to being a comedian.
