Charlie Chaplin (1951)

"The Gold Rush" 195 again. The invalid's appetite astounds the goodnatured Hank. Big Jim McKay wanders into town, recovered but with his memory gone, searching for, and missing Charlie, the one man who can help him relocate his cabin and claim. Hank's partner also arrives, and Charlie agrees to look after the cabin while they are gone prospecting. As the sled moves up hill, Charlie, standing on one of the hauling ropes, takes a tumble. Georgia and three other girls, sliding in the snow and playfully snowballing each other, smack one in Charlie's face as he watches them from the cabin door. He uses the incident as an opportunity to invite the girls in to warm themselves. As Charlie skips out for firewood, Georgia finds her torn photograph under his pillow. The girls giggle, as Georgia brushes the snow off Charlie and holds his hand. He knows she is fooling but makes the most of it. One of the girls gives him a hotfoot by dropping a match on his burlap foot. Unconsciously he pays her back by crossing his burning leg under her chair. On leaving, Georgia accepts his invitation to New Year's Eve dinner. While, outside the door, the girls giggle, the enraptured Charlie jumps about, swings from a beam, does handsprings, and juggles a pillow until the feathers fly like snow. To earn the money for the dinner, Charlie shovels snow, making work for himself by piling the shoveled snow successively on the next neighbor's sidewalk. The racket ends when the next neighbor turns out to be the jail. New Year's Eve. High jinks in the dancehall. In the cabin, Charlie prepares for the party. A newspaper, cleverly torn in a pattern, becomes the tablecloth. He arranges place cards, follows the progress of the chicken roasting in the stove, lays out presents and favors on the table, lights candles. There is a stir at the door. Charlie
