Chaplin performs his Dance of the Rolls from "The Gold Rush" at a Hollywood party in 1926. The party-goers were making a home movie called "Camille" and this clip made it into the movie. Chaplin often performed this at dinners and parties when it was requested of him...no rehearsal, just off the cuff.

  • SOOOO handsome!! Is this supposed to be the scene in CHAPLIN where he's doing this a a dinner party, or something?

  • It's not THE scene, but Chaplin did this a lot at parties, so the scene in "Chaplin" is based on a culmination of performances.

  • Yes, Arbuckle was the first to do it, but Chaplin took the idea and made it into a dance. Arbuckle just stuck forks in the rolls and moved them around on the table. Chaplin elevated this gag into the art form of his films. That was what separated him so many times from the other comedians of his era (except for Keaton and Lloyd who created their own art forms). Arbuckle was good, but Chaplin blew him out of the water.

  • What is the name of the melody?

  • It's part of the score from Chaplin's film "A Day's Pleasure." I think the specific track is called "Dancing Aboard Ship." I'm not sure if that's the official title for it - just the one that the CD gave it.

  • Ah, noticed the gals comments on how "handsome' Chaplin was. I've always known that, even with his makeup and his homely Tramp apparel. He was to me, one of the most beautiful and distinguished men to grace the planet.
