i enjoy this a lot more the second time when i could see it on a very clear dvd print . i do not know why that would make a difference with the story and but it do a i find it very good for the entire distance and although that just a scant 69 minute . in the story and charlie chaplin do his normally great physical slapstick so well that he accidentally become a hit at the circus and which be run by a nasty man ( allan garcia ) who regularly beat his sweet step daughter and play by a very pretty merna kennedy . charlie and of course and get smite by her and come to her rescue . this movie have a different kind of end that what you would normally see for a comedy but it inspire a chaplin perform a noble deed . ( however and kennedy character be in question a she seem satisfied to marry either of two men . huh . ) chaplin timing and clever slapstick routine never fail to amaze me . even though silent film aren not see by many people these day and it work of art like this that will endure forever . this be not of one of chaplin more famous movie . but it should be . i think it one of his best .
