Time Traveller Caught On 1928 Charlie Chaplin Film?

[Serpo]

Of course the question arises ,who the heck would she be talking too any way.......

This short film is about a piece of footage I (George Clarke) found behind the scenes in Charlie Chaplins film 'The Circus'. Attending the premiere at Manns Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, CA - the scene shows a large woman dressed in black with a hat hiding most of her face, with what can only be described as a mobile phone device - talking as she walks alone.

I have studied this film for over a year now - showing it to over 100 people and at a film festival, yet no-one can give any explanation as to what she is doing.

No cell phone towers back then, so it can't be that? Reptilians, or maybe a small crystal-based AM radio (would have been small enough even then) and she is reacting or singing along to what she hears.

So....the agents of time travel will be elderly obese women?

What this guy has studied this for 1 year and you come up with a good answer in 5 min.....new I could count on GSUS.....

I saw this about two years ago.......also, if they have the power to "time travel" they would not be using a "cell phone" but a interdimession communicator........heyyyyyyyyyy I know it all hahahahahahahah

First post of the day................good morning to one and all.

[willie pete]

cell phone? ..... :lol No transitor radios back then either...

Um...er....scratching her ear?

[General of Darkness]

Since Charlie Chaplin is a jew, and miracles always happen around the "SELF" Chosen ones this is highly plausible. As evidence I'm submit the Ann Frank diary. Clearly a time traveler was involved with this "STORY", because a pen from the future was used.

So it's safe to say, according to

When jews are involved it's completely

If this was a radio, it would be the size of a suitcase: they had at best vacuum tubes at the time.

In a post here someone said crystal radio, That would work but they need a direct connection to ground to work.And not sure how small speakers were back then, do not think they had earplug types yet.

[midnight rambler]

Anyone with the level of sophistication to accomplish time travel is going to be far more discreet with the use of their communication devices in an era when no such comparable devices existed.

No one person invented the hearing aid. Hearing aids fashioned from horns, sea shells, or other natural material probably existed long before the ear trumpet was first manufactured. Giovanni Battista Porta was most likely the first to actually describe one of these early hearing aids. Porta wrote a book entitled Natural Magick, published in 1588, in which he describes wooden aids shaped like animal ears. How widespread these homemade aids were is difficult to say. In 1627 Francis Bacon wrote about the value of ear trumpets to the deaf as well as the use of speaking tubes. These hearing devices were probably not manufactured in the way we know it today. Most were created for specific users and reflected their tastes and needs. Who was the first to manufacture non-electric hearing aids? In the 1800s Frederick C. Rein of London, George P. Pilling and Sons of Philadelphia, Franck-Valery Freres of Paris, E. B. Meyrowitz of New York, and Kirchner and Wilhelm of Stuttgart were just a few of the many companies established as hearing aid manufacturers. Why did so many companies begin manufacture at this time? The answer is that technology drove the evolution of the hearing aid. The Industrial Revolution, first in Europe and later in America, created a surge in manufacturing of numerous products. Economics was also a factor; the new middle class had disposable income for products such as hearing aids, which created demand for them. Did Thomas Edison play a role in the invention of the electric hearing aid? Over his lifetime, Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) invented the phonograph, incandescent light bulbs, kinetoscopes (early movie cameras and projectors), and even stock tickers. In 1886, Edison applied for a patent on his carbon transmitter, which translates sound into electrical signals, allowing it to travel through wires and then be translated back into sound. The first electric hearing aids employed carbon transmitter technology. Although this was a great advance, Edison did not attempt to invent hearing aids themselves. Edison was also not the only inventor of the carbon transmitter. Francis Blake, Jr., of Weston, MA, gained three patents in 1881 for his carbon transmitter. Did Alexander Graham Bell play a role in the invention of the electric hearing aid? Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922) was much concerned about deafness through most of his career. In 1872, Bell opened a school for teachers of the deaf in Boston and later founded the American Association to Promote the Teaching of Speech to the Deaf. Historians have noted that Bell attempted to invent an electrical hearing aid. They speculate that his wife, Mabel Hubbard, who was deaf since the age of four, was his inspiration. Although Bell's experiments did not produce the first electric hearing aid, they did lead him to his invention of the telephone. Unlike electric hearing aids, early telephones worked on magnetic principles and did not use a carbon transmitter. Who was the first to manufacture electric hearing aids in America? In 1899 Miller Reese Hutchison and J. Wilson established the Akouphone Company in Alabama. Miller Reese Hutchison held the patent for the first practical electric hearing aid which employed a carbon microphone or transmitter and a battery. The company manufactured the Akoulallion which sat on a table with three pairs of earphones attached. It retailed for $400. A smaller version with portable battery was sold in 1900 for $60. Where can I find a collectable hearing aid? The Adams Center does not maintain relationships with antique dealers who specialize in hearing aids. If you are interested in finding antiques in your area it is suggested that you contact the American Society of Appraisers. The experts who are members of this organization are qualified to give appraisals and often they sell antiques. The Society would be happy to mail you a list of appraisers in your area and one might know where to find collectible hearing aids.:-) http://answer2question.com/question/20061119064300AAZTfmc.html

Answer 2: You saw the guy walking ahead of her? That was her husband. He was trying to stay out of earshot. She was just a typical overweight nag who could not stop talking and was desperate to hear if she got a response out of him.


BTW- I know that both of these answers are correct. You see, I am the guy walking ahead of her.

[Glass]

I actually don't think it is a woman but a man dressed up as a woman and perhaps trying to cover their face a little from the camera.

[DualCarbon]

So, the narrator gets stoned and watches a lot of old movies. I can imagine how he thinks it must be time travelers.

[SLV^GLD]

Incorrect. Diodes (crystals) were just as small then and were even included in GI field kits. Vacuum tubes superseded crystals in amplification technology but required a separate power source.

I was thinking of suppressed Tesla tech too.

[kregener]

Yeah, it was definitely time travel...or she was just scratching her ear..

[Celtic Rogue]

After watching a few time I feel it is probably CGI The zebra scupture is a mask on a front layer the middle layer is the old lady/dude walking through the scene with probs a green screen chroma key... and the bottom later is the background onto the which the green screen is blended. Or maybe an multi chrono-dimentional traveler as stated.

I suppose the moral of the story is - if you ain't sure, keep poking it with
a sharpened stick!" ;D

Or

Good one...she looks like she's smiling though. She could be hiding some kind of scar, or rash, from the public.

I know, it's a black can of shoe polish. She's polishing her ear, because she's just a crazy ol' bitch.

[Desolation LineTrimmer]

Like one of the commentators said, no cell towers, no cell phone talk. She or he is probably a purposely mysterious person the filmmakers put into the film for vanity or whatever reasons.

Close, but I believe she is holding one of these. Low and behold it looks like a modern day cell phone.

How the hell he got time traveller out of it I will never know

That is a serious ass stretch even if I do say so myself..

[Still Barbaro]

Interesting clip. It's real, from 1928, correct?

I can't say.

But if a woman/man was walking around talking on a cell phone back in 1928 out in the open, wouldn't many people start asking "hey, what's that?"
