Far OUR FILM CRITIC
The Circus is almost beyond praise. “'The Gold Rush !' e per haps the more artistic production, but The Circus will probably have a wider appeal.The Gold Rush" was above all intensely pathetic."The Circus is what its name implies. There is an under-current « of the pathos, of poverty, and of the loneliness that made The Gold Rush" so great a picture, but the emotion is tran
sient.
Above all The Circus” ia Charlie. No other man could have made it, his hand shows in every scene. There are plenty of come. dians, and plenty of comedies, but there is only, one Charlie Chaplin, and when you see "The Circus you realise how incomparably his genius shines above that of the Lesser stars,
It would te bard to say why Charlie is funny, but the moment that he drifts helplessly on to the screen, laughter rises out of your heart. His well known costume is not any more mirth provoking than Harold Lloyd's goggles, it is Indeed a little old fashioned in its cog. scious humour: But
comic stunts are needed to make you the way he brushes his cost sleeve, at his face, at a stumble, or just because you know that he is the greatest laughter maker that was ever pictured on the screen.
