& Chaplin‘s New Film May Be Another Silent
As author, director, and leading star, Charlie Chaplin
is guarding jealously the details concerning his
latest production. But all signs point to very little, if any,
talking. Upper picture shows Chaplin directing
the film, while lower photo is the first to reveal a scene
in the picture. And you see him here with Paulette
Goddard, his leading lady. The picture promises you the same
old Chaplin, mustache, derby, cane, big feet,
and all.

„Anything Charlie does usually proves interesting“
Editorial content. „CHAPLIN KEEPS NEW FILM A SECRET
BY DAN THOMAS
Hollywood – Production No. 5 is progressing steadily
and smoothly.
To the outside world that bit of news may not mean a great
deal. But in Hollywood it is an extremely important item,
showing that Charlie Chaplin‘s new film actually is moving
along toward completion.“ (...)

„Not Before Autumn“ (...)
„Although already half finished, the most discussed
feature of the picture still remains a mystery.
Nobody outside of Chaplin‘s own organization knows yet
whether it will contain any spoken dialogue.
My personal guess is that there will not be more than
a few spoken words, if any. This conclusion is drawn
after spending a day watching him shoot, and after running
through a stack of photos which show him at work.
Neither on the set nor in the photos was there evidence
of any sound equipment. In my opinion, that can
mean only one thing – Chaplin is NOT breaking his silence.“ (...)

„Directs, Then Acts“ (...)
„The result of this new approach will be interesting.
In fact the result of anything Charlie does usually proves
interesting.“
