A Night in the Show (1915)

[94539shadow]

I wonder if Charlie got inspiration from Emile Cohl. The sequence starting at 8:15 plays nearly identically to a sequence in Cohl's Fantasmagorie (1908), where a woman with a fancy headdress sits down in front of Charlie, and Charlie proceeds to take it apart.

[RitchieBlackmore8855]

My favorite of all time, Priceless

[HPandLlamaFan]

that guy with the mustache is awesome

i wish the movie had music tho.

[Tinkerbell7878]

That guy with the mustache is called Charlie Chaplin. His name was in the beginning of the video.

[Sadie84]

Chaplin was a genius.

[fromthesidelines]

This was based on a sketch that Chaplin performed with the Fred Karno Troupe in Europe, "A Night In An English Music Hall". He plays the dual role of the "Ritzy Theatergoer" in the audience and the "Drunk" in the balcony above.

[nayeem1984]

thanks 4 telling.

i was wondering who the drunk guy was

[jorjevw]

yo where did the other longer one go that had the music set to it?

[bretb2011]

lol 2:41

[gothhydran]

I needed a good laugh today!!! I love the part with the music conductor and the lady in the fountain. Did anyone else see the man in blackface in the balcony? He was behind the guy opening the wine bottle..sad...

[Lava1964]

Yea, I noticed him. Obvious white guy in blackface. Nobody would have thought anything of it in 1915.

[TheLittleFelloow]

What would nobody thought in 1915? :o

[lesterical]

What does that sentence even mean?

[TheLittleFelloow]

I asked Lava1964 about something..

[lesterical]

I know, but that doesn't mean the sentence makes any sense at all.

[TheLittleFelloow]

Lava1964 said ".. No one would never thought anything like that in 1915.." and I meant to ask "What would people not thought in 1915?"

I'm sorry, my English isn't SO good.

[TheLittleFelloow]

I did also see the black guy who laughed behind the man who opened the winebottle, but why is that sad..? What is so special with that black man..? :S

[Otacon237]

It's a white guy painted with black paint. They're called blackface actors, because real black guys weren't allowed in movies at the time.

[guitarfan1979]

buhahahaha

[REMTom2]

God bless Chaplin. God of comedy.

[celreystik]

would that mean he's blessing himself?

[cakolyre]

wonderful,I LOVE

[retro69fanatic]

Music or not. Chaplin is still the master of cinema.

[mattbones]

HEAR HEAR!!!

[jgar6]

[lochka]

I Love teh look he gives the old woman. Priceless

[AmazonMonk]
