This is the first time that we can hear Charlie Chaplin's voice (on television at least). This extract is part of "The Modern Times" (1936). Chaplin performs the famous song "Charabia" whose lyrics don't mean anything. Anyway, the gesture is very funny ! Perhaps you know the recent Jay-Five's remix of the song.

For the scenes with the lions Chaplin made some 200 takes, in many of which he was actually inside the lion's cage. His looks of fear are not all merely acting.
