Star-dust in Hollywood been made. But during the showing of a comic film the agents sit at the premieres with counting dials in their hands. The Hollywood audience is the most sophisticated film audience in the world, but woe betide the comic film that does not register at least forty laughs, not counting minor titters and giggles ! America has a habit of deriding the English sense of humour. Indeed, the world at large, in spite of our great humorous authors, persistently looks on us as a heavy nation inclined toward the graver sides of life. And yet we may reflect with some satisfaction that in Hollywood, where most of the worlds film talent has concentrated, two most prominent exponents, one of the long comedy and one of the short comic, are both English — Charlie Chaplin and Lupino Lane.
