& Recapitulation

      Of the flock of moving pictures that have come

to town during the first month of the new year, only two

remain as candidates for the annual roll of honor

of pictures that have left their mark, if not for all time, at least

for an age. (...)

      And the two pictures which emerge from this

scramble are „The Circus“ and „Quality Street,“ both, curiously

enough, playing this past week in the city. (...)

      „The Circus“ is by all odds the most important contribution

of the month, and will probably occupy a place near the

very top in the annual summing up. For „The Circus“ is Charlie

Chaplin, and anything that Charlie does will always find

its way with the best of them – since Chaplin at his worst is

Hollywood at its best. Not that „The Circus“ is below the

Chaplin level. It is an efficient production and a laugh-provoker

of the first order – a combination of several old and

new tricks, with the old ones holding their own against the

new ones. And when one remembers that the making

of this comedy was interrupted on several occasions by such

irrelevant matter as troubles with relatives, a divorce

suit with its disgusting publicity, income tax adjustments,

and a defense in a suit of plagiarism, one can only

wonder at and applaud this product. Chaplin still remains

the greatest clown this side of paradise.

„Charles Chaplin gardera l‘affiche pour une seconde semaine“

Editorial content. „Au Palace, Charles Chaplin

      gardera l‘affiche pour

      une seconde semaine

      À la demande générale et pour satisfaire tous ceux qui

n‘ont pas eu encore l‘occasion de le voir, on conservera

le film de Chaplin à l‘affiche la semaine prochaine au Palace.

      Le Cirque a consacré le retour au cinéma de Chaplin.

Jamais semble-t-il, cet extraordinaire comédien n‘a été plus

en possession de tous ces moyens.“ (...)
