    Her mode of dress seems like it fits the period. Can't really get a great look at it but her image seems to have faded while there is still some shadow being cast across the sidewalk. Interesting and fun but in no way convincing. Too bad. Hope it helps him sell movies.

    Someone has too much time on their hands.. There's no way she's talking on a phone, b/c the infrastructure was not there in the 1920s to support a cell phone call. Also, who the F would she be talking to?

    There's also the fact that it could be ANYTHING. Why would she hold a random object up to her head while smiling? I don't know, but it's a trillion times more plausible than thinking she's a freaking time traveler.

    I think you are being intentionally naive. It's obviously a cell phone and obviously a time traveler Tony told me.

    She's an actor and her name is Margaret Dumont, has been in many silent film comedies including Groucho Marx movies... It's a running gag, a spoof on the phone that was invented in 1876, lol... Was 'The Circus' a talkie or a silent film??

    Am I the only one who was shocked to see that this thread was NOT created by ToyCen?

    I was told my cell phone model was built in 1928, so this seems possible without time travel.

    I find that much more shocking than the possibility of a time traveler in a Chaplin Movie.

    Her bill is going to be huge when she gets those temporal roaming charges.

    If you listen to the movie's audio track, you can clearly hear her saying...

    "KHHHHAAAAAAAANNNN!!!!!"

    Nice attempt to deceive us, however that is clearly Nathan Lane.
