...goes back to the simple little tramp-meets-girl, loves-girl, loses-girl theme of his famed silent movies. But Chaplin no longer plays the tramp with the cane, battered derby, brush mustache and oversized shoes. In Limelight he is a dapper, though slightly seedy (and in heavy stage make-up rather repulsive) clown in spats and velvet-collared coat. Only a few reminders of the old tramp remain in a couple of music-hall sequences...

Weltwoche does not explain how the worries of ttie most feared and powerful man on earth are simulated, or whether Stalin...
...sacristy of Perugia's 4th century church of San Domenico last week, portraits of four Popes looked down on theatrical make-up men applying wigs and beards. Outside, photographers crowded into the pulpit. On a wooden stage below them, flanked by a large orchestra and chorus, a troupe of 50 dancers went through the first performance of Leonide Massine's Laudes Evangelii, a ballet "mystery play" depicting the story of Christ...
