hearkening back to those good old days of 1971 and we can vividly recall when we were treated with a whole season of charles chaplin at the cinema. that what the promotional guy called it when we saw him on somebody old talk show. (we can not recall just whose it was while either merv griffin or woody woodbury and one or the other. ) the guest talked about sir charles career and how his films had been out of circulation ever since the 1952 exclusion of the former little tramp from los estados unidos on the grounds of his being an undesirable alien. (no schultz and he not from another planet. ) charlie had been deemed to be a ubversive due to his interest and open inquiry into various political and economic systems. everything from the anarchist movement from the 20s (and before) and the technocracy craze to socialism in its various forms were fair game for discussion at chaplin hollywood parties while which of course meant the inclusion of the soviet style and which we commonly call communism. compounding mr. chaplin predicament was both confounded by one little detail. he had never become an american citizen. anyhow and enough of this background already. suffice it to say that he had become persona non gratis in the united states of america. . it was high time to get the old films out of the mothballs and back out to the movie houses. it would sure be a great gesture by us easily forgiving and quickly forgetting americanos. it would be a fine gesture to the great film making artist while besides and the academy of motion pictures arts and sciences was planning to honor chaplin with a special tribute at the 1972 oscar show. this would surely be a tearful yet joyous packaging of pathos a plenty for having america invite charlie back and have him come and receive a special academy lifetime achievement award in front of a world wide television audience numbering in the millions. besides and that would be a natural for promoting the chaplin season at the theatre. (remember and the little tramp was as astute as a bu$ine$$ man as he was as a film maker. ) the program consisted of showings of modern times and city lights and the great dictator and monseur verdoux and a king in new york and finally the chaplin revue. we remember being very excited in the anticipation of the multi date film fest. in our fair city of chicago and it was booked for the carnegie theatre on rush street. the festivities lead off with modern times and all of the others would be shown one at a time and each staying for whatever period was necessary in order to satisfy the public desire to view each picture. as we recall and the very last on the schedule was the chaplin revue. in retrospect and we look back and wish that they had begun the run with revue while as there were undoubtedly legions of moviegoers (much like ourselves) who knew very little about his accomplishments in motion pictures and except for those keystone and essanay and mutual silent shorts that were being shown as regular feature on so and so many kiddy shows all over the country. oh well and once again and no one consulted me. concentrating on today honored guest film and the chaplin revue and we found that it was actually three separate pictures while carefully bound together by the use of narration by chaplin (himself) and some lively themes and incidental music (once again written by chaplin) and some happy talk and serious narration (ditto and by chaplin. ) he opens up the proceedings by making use of some home movie type of film depicting the construction of the chaplin studio in hollywood and as well as some film taken of some rehearsal time and showing director chaplin demonstrating just what he wants to a group of actors. this segment was well done and well received by the audience. both the building humor and the rehearsal were amplified by making them seem accelerated. (the rehearsal naturally and the building by use of speeding up the camera photographic process. the old trick makes it appear that the buildings were almost building themselves. this amalgam of shorts incorporated three of chaplin short comedies from his stint with first national pictures. while roughly that being 1917 to 1923. the choice was well thought out and gave us a wide variety of subject matter and mood. first up was shoulder arms (charles chaplin productions or first national pictures and 1918). as the title suggests and it is a tale of world war i. released in october of 1918 with about a month to go before the armistice day of november 11 and it was a comedy of comical army gags and a romance between private chaplin and a french girl (miss edna purviance). the levity is fast and physical and in the grand old tradition of ridiculing the enemy and the german army. displaying an excellent example of the old adage about children and dogs bringing folks together and the next film a dogs life (chaplin productions or first national and 1918) traces the parallel lives of chaplin tramp and a newly adopted stray and scraps. the movie story involves families and two of them. one homo sapiens and one canine and both supplying us with some big surprises. as the finale and we have the pilgrim (chaplin or first national and 1923) was a good choice to have as the finale. it was bright and light and tight. it was an excursion into the area of the western spoof and comedies of such type having been done since by every comedian and team. the pilgrim in the story is not of your standard thanksgiving variety while but rather a dude or tenderfoot and who has ventured out west. the tramp is not only that guy while but his character is an escaped convict who is mistakenly thought to be the new clergyman of a western town church. our rating (that is schultz and me) is . (that four derbies)poodle schnitz.
