Chaplins Time Traveler



This short film is about a piece of footage I (George Clarke) found behind the scenes in Charlie Chaplins film 'The Circus'. Attending the premiere at Manns Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, CA - the scene shows a large woman dressed in black with a hat hiding most of her face, with what can only be described as a mobile phone device - talking as she walks alone.

I have studied this film for over a year now - showing it to over 100 people and at a film festival, yet no-one can give any explanation as to what she is doing.

My only theory - as well as many others - is simple... a time traveler on a mobile phone. See for yourself and feel free to leave a comment on your own explanation or thoughts about it.

  4. I like weird stuff, but I think it is an actress practicing her lines. For those of use who speak publically, I have held my hand to my ear (without a phone) to hear my own voice during noisy situations. I don't see any phone, only a shadow, and her hand is moving around, not grasping a device.
