Tea & Coffee Selection Morning Menu Food with Friends Cocktails Wines by the Glass Spirit Selection Local Drinks Tea & Coffee Selection Morning menU Food with Friends Cocktails Wines by the Glass Spirit Selection Local Drinks CHARLIE CHAPLIN n 1921 Charlie Chaplin checked in to the Slieve Donard. His first marriage to Mildred Harris had ended in an Iacrimonious divorce and he was seeking rest and solace. To add to his woes he had recently learned of the death of his first love Hetty Kelly who hailed from County Down and he was hoping to find something of her spirit on his visit. He signed the hotel register giving his address as simply New York City and for a while, he was taken to the hearts of Newcastle people as their very own link to the wonderful world of the movies. Sir William Hastings, Chairman of the Hastings Hotels Group, is very proud of the hotel’s Chaplin link. “ I suppose not everyone can be a Charlie Chaplin, but at our hotel we like to think we give everyone the movie star treatment.” So if you catch the essence of a spirit, perhaps gazing out to sea, or at the majestic Mourne Mountains when next you visit Chaplin’s Bar, don’t be surprised.

Mierzejewska: Charlie Chaplin: The Genius Behind Comedy Charlie Chaplin: The Genius Behind Comedy by Zuzanna Mierzejewska (English 1102) he quote, “A picture with a smile-and perhaps, a tear” (“The Kid”) is not just an introduction to Charlie Chaplin’s silent film, The Kid, but also a description of his life in a nutshell. Many Tmay not know that despite Chaplin’s success in film and comedy, he had a very rough childhood that truly affected his adult life. Unfortunately, the audience only saw the man on the screen known world-wide as the Tramp, characterized by: his clown shoes, cane, top hat and a mustache. His humor was universal; it focused on the simplicity of our daily routines and the funniness within them. His comedy was well-appreciated during the silent film era and cheered soldiers up as they longed for peace and safety during World War I and other events in history.

  • Film Essay for The
    The Kid By Jeffrey Vance “The Kid” (1921) is one of Charles Chaplin’s finest achievements and remains universally beloved by critics and audiences alike. The film is a perfect blend of comedy and drama and is arguably Chap- lin’s most personal and autobiographical work. Many of the settings and the themes in the film come right out of Chaplin’s own impoverished London child- hood. However, it was the combination of two events, one tragic (the death of his infant son) and one joyful (his chance meeting with Jackie Coogan), that led Chaplin to shape the tale of the abandoned child and the lonely Tramp. The loss of three-day-old Norman Spencer Chaplin undoubtedly had a great effect on Chaplin, and the emotional pain appears to have triggered his creativ- ity, as he began auditioning child actors at the Chap- lin Studios ten days after his son’s death. It was dur- ing this period that Chaplin encountered a four-year- old child performer named Jackie Coogan at Orphe- um Theater in Los Angeles, where his father had just performed an eccentric dance act. Chaplin spent more than an hour talking to Jackie in the lob- by of the Alexandria Hotel, but the idea of using Jackie in a film did not occur to him. After he heard that Roscoe Arbuckle had just signed Coogan, Chaplin agonized over his missed opportunity. Later, Charlie Chaplin as The Tramp sits in a doorway with the he discovered that Arbuckle had signed Jack orphan he has taken under his wing (Jackie Coogan).

I tried to compose elegant and romantic music to frame my comedies in contrast to the tramp character, for elegant music gave my comedies an emotional dimension. Musical arrangers rarely understood this. They wanted the music to be funny. But I would explain that I wanted no competition, I wanted the music to be a counterpoint of grave and charm, to express sentiment, without which, as Hazlitt says, a work of art is incomplete. (...) Nothing is more adventurous and exciting than to hear the tunes one has composed played for the first time by a fifty piece orchestra.“ - Charles Chaplin 3 WELKOM De magie van Charlie Chaplin blijft ook na bijna 100 jaar fantastisch indrukwekkend, ontroerend en hilarisch.

He has said it all so completely himself that a commentary is I scarcely needed. Yet he seems to challenge writers of all sorts to write about him, and he is the subject of many long works, both in English and other languages. The three books at hand,l of which the two written in English proclaim thems~lves defini­ tive, are well worth looking into-if only to look beyond, at the creation and the creator. Some kind of critical commentary is necessary because the prints of the pictures themselves are fading away into oblivion.

  • The Little Tramp's Continuing Longevity, Post-1977
    E PILOGUE: THE LITTLE TRAMP’S CONTINUING LONGEVITY, POST-1977 If it is still not clear from the preceding chapters that several factions of Americans came together post-1947 to force a re-assessment and even- tual re-invigoration of Charlie Chaplin and his Little Tramp persona in American culture, then the outpouring of love and admiration heaped upon him at his death must solidify this fact. Film critic Andrew Sarris noted in the Village Voice that “we can still say that Charles Chaplin was arguably the single most important artist produced by the cinema, cer- tainly its most extraordinary performer and probably still its most univer- sal icon.” 1 Alden Whitman’s New York Times obituary claimed that “no motion picture actor so captured and enthralled the world as did Charles Spencer Chaplin, a London ragamuffi n who became an immortal artist for his deft and effective humanization of man’s tragicomic confl icts with fate.” 2 And, fi lm critic Stanley Kauffmann wrote in The New Republic : Yes, the Tramp is not a deathless image. Yes, he made us laugh and cry and presumably always will. But, out of the Chaplin moments, put just two together and think of them, and you understand why talking about the Little Fellow is not enough. Think of the moment in The Rink when, with his torso almost motionless, his roller-skated feet move so quickly under him as he tries to keep his balance that his legs almost become a solid blur like the spinning spokes of a wheel. Then think of the last scene in City Lights when the formerly blind girl realizes that this little hobo was her savior, and then the camera goes to his face.

  • Tales from Los Angeles' Most Infamous Beach of Yesteryear
    Tales from Los Angeles’ most infamous beach of yesteryear. In the 1920s & 30s a small spit of land along Los Angeles’ quaint beachside neighborhood of Santa Monica became ground zero for what the press dubbed “America’s Riviera,” a sandy playground for the rich, famous and idolized to indulge their every decadent whim. WORDS BY | FALENE NURSE Davies-Hearst Beach House Santa Monica Beach 1930 Photographs by: Archive Bison Photographs treatsmagazine.com 87 In Hollywood’s harder partying heydays of the 20s and 30s, the rich and famous had taken up residence along Louis B. Mayer’s pool with the shores of Santa Monica. With the studios forcing their Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland stars to propagate a myth of a sexually innocent America, and prohibition tightening its grip, people grew hungry for MOBSTERS OWNED escapism. And if the realities of the breadline were getting you down, you could always live vicariously through the THE CLUBS AND elite colony emerging along the Californian coastline. Here, sun, sea and sex could be enjoyed with extravagant CASINO BOATS abandonment. It became the self-appointed tropical Shangri-La for OFFSHORE. bored mistresses, closeted sexual preferences and imbibing personalities. Free to mingle with bootleggers, starlets, illegal hooch and brothel keepers at their leisure, it was an anything-goes time. Poolside by day or dance floor by night, the parties seemed to never end, making for both decadent spectacle and alluring gossip column fodder. According to legend, it was an 18th-century priest credited with giving Santa Monica its name because the waters of the nearby springs reminded him of the tears shed by Saint Monica (the patron saint of married women!) over her unruly son.
