All through the making of "City Lights" Chapin has been submerged by correspondence from every porâ€" tion of the world lauding him for his stand against talking pictures. There is no attempt at spectacle in "City Lights."

It is. believed that this production will pave the way for more nonâ€"dialogue pictures and start renewed activity in studios as well as in theatres. Chaplins film is the first of any imâ€" portance to come out of Holywood in close to three years, in silent form. At no time is the human voice heard in "City Lights." It is the comedianâ€"producer‘s contention that dialogue limits the field of expression an‘l being primarily a pantomime artâ€" ist, he regards silence as the best medium for him and the character he portrays. Chaplin adds that he is not being prejudiced in the stand he has taken but that he is merely carrying on in what he believes a superior art form. 2 Comedian Defies Movie ___ Trend in Making â€""City Lights" the talking picture an inferior medâ€" ium of screen entertainment to the silent motion picture production, Charlie â€"Chaplin backs his opinion with â€" the â€" presentation â€"of â€""City Lights," a romantic comedy photoâ€" play, which is synchronized with music and sound effects.
