Glenn Mitchell the TRUE FAREWELL of the TRAMP
Glenn Mitchell THE TRUE FAREWELL OF THE TRAMP Good afternoon. I’d like to begin with an ending ... which we might call `the Tramp’s First Farewell’. CLIP: FINAL SCENE OF `THE TRAMP’ That, of course, was the finale to Chaplin’s 1915 short film THE TRAMP. Among Chaplin scholars – and I think there may be one or two here today! - one of the topics that often divides opinion is that concerning the first and last appearances of Chaplin’s Tramp character. It seems fair to suggest that Chaplin’s assembly of the costume for MABEL’S STRANGE PREDICAMENT marks his first appearance, even though he has money to dispose of and is therefore technically not a tramp. KID AUTO RACES AT VENICE, shot during its production, narrowly beat the film into release. Altogether more difficult is to pinpoint where Chaplin’s Tramp character appears for the last time. For many years, the general view was that the Tramp made his farewell at the end of MODERN TIMES. As everyone here will know, it was a revision of that famous conclusion to THE TRAMP, which we saw just now ... only this time he walks into the distance not alone, but with a female companion, one who’s as resourceful, and almost as resilient, as he is. CLIP: END OF `MODERN TIMES’ When I was a young collector starting out, one of the key studies of Chaplin’s work was The Films of Charlie Chaplin, published in 1965. Its authors, Gerald D. McDonald, Michael Conway and Mark Ricci said this of the end of MODERN TIMES: - No one realized it at the time, but in that moment of hopefulness we were seeing Charlie the Little Tramp for the last time.

The Gentleman As Tramp Charlie Chaplin and the Birth of the American Film Comedy
The Gentleman as Tramp Charlie Chaplin and the Birth of the American Film Comedy Lecturer: PD Dr. Stefan L. Brandt, Guest Professor Room and time: AR-A 1093, Tuesdays 16-18 Course type: B.A./Lehramts-Seminar Modules: Bachelor LKM M 2.2 Medienanalyse / Lehramt GHR 5.1 Textsorten First session: April 5, 2011 Course description: This seminar deals with one of the greatest male screen legends of all time, Charlie Chaplin. “Chaplin was not just ‘big’,” one of his biographers notes, “he was gigantic” (Sieff, 2008). One of the most distinguished and influential filmmakers and actors of the foundational years of cinema, Chaplin was also one of the most controversial ones, in part due to his life-long involvement with progressive and left-leaning causes. The course will trace Chaplin’s career from the early days at Keystone and his co-founding of the film studio United Artists to his break with the silent film in the 1930s and his banishment from America in the late 1940s. We will deal with Chaplin’s extraordinary merits in the visual aesthetics of silent cinema and analyze his unusual acting techniques which culminated in the creation of his screen persona ‘The Tramp.’ How was the genre of the American film comedy (especially slapstick and screwball) influenced by Chaplin’s cinematic works? How did Chaplin as a free-thinking, independent director inspire other artists? Films to be discussed in class include The Kid (1921), The Gold Rush (1925), City Lights (1931), Modern Times (1936), The Great Dictator (1940), and Monsieur Verdoux (1947). Grading: For 5 or 7 CP: regular attendance, participation in discussions, at least nine entries in the discussion forum (1/3), oral presentation as part of an expert group OR short presentation of a keyword (1/3), and final paper (8-10/ 13-15 pages) (1/3).

The Chaplin Craze: Charlie Chaplin and the Emergence of Mass-Amusement Culture
THE CHAPLIN CRAZE: CHARLIE CHAPLIN AND THE EMERGENCE OF MASS-AMUSEMENT CULTURE JACK RUNDELL PhD UNIVERSITY OF YORK ENGLISH AND RELATED LITERATURE AUGUST 2014 Abstract This thesis explores the relationship between Charlie Chaplin’s early career and films (1914-1916) and the emergent mass-amusement culture of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in America. It combines empirical research into mass- amusement history with close readings of Chaplin’s early films in order to illuminate the close and previously minimally explored relationship between Chaplin’s film- making and popularity on the one hand, and the broader early twentieth-century history of mass-amusement culture on the other. The thesis approaches its subject through the specific phenomenon of amusement ‘crazes’. It takes three selectively illustrative examples – roller skating, popular dance forms and moving pictures – through which to explore the specific debates and controversies these amusements generated and the social and cultural aspirations and concerns that drove them. This cultural-historical research is used to re-read Chaplin films, enabling topical allusions and cultural subtexts to come newly into focus. It also provides the context for a fresh interpretation of Chaplin’s sensational rise to fame in the mid-1910s as a cultural phenomenon symptomatic of a wider landscape of contemporary frenetic and popular crazes. The thesis challenges two principal assumptions that underlie prevailing critical approaches to Chaplin’s early career, unquestioningly grounded, as they are, in the privileged status conventionally ascribed to his later, and better-known feature films. These assumptions are: (1) that Chaplin’s early films are chiefly of interest for the ways in which they teleologically anticipate later developments in his film- making; and (2) that Chaplin’s distinctive qualities and cultural value are always to be understood in qualitative contrast to the dominant imperatives of contemporary slapstick and the larger mass-amusement culture to which slapstick belonged.

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.
