208 COMES THE REVOLUTION Chaplin made a circus picture, too, in 1928. In fact, he called it The Circus. The great comedian was as funny as ever, although his picture was infinitely removed from the pie-throwing two-reelers of his earlier days. His costume alone remained unchanged. Otherwise, his people were no longer comic-strip caricatures, but real people. His performance was a masterpiece of mingled emotions, a blend of farce and pathos so subtly contrived that the spectator hardly knew where one left off and the other began. The Circus is still one of his great pictures. He is seen here with his leading lady, one of his discoveries, Merna Kennedy.
