Hail Chaplin : The Early Chaplin / by Richard Schickel - ECCI00016762
The clippings are included in a press release file on Charles Chaplin collected by Arnold Sobel. In terms of comedy, Chaplin summarised much that had gone before, linking the art of screen comedy to a much older tradition. Chaplin never again achieved the perfection of his first comedies. Beginning with "The Kid", he began to inject larger and larger doses of pure sentiment into his work, and he was forced, by the public demand, for feature-length films. Chaplin's art and his productions became more hesitant. The coming of sound was also a threatening problem.
