Charlie Chaplin Cell Phone Clip Puzzles Irish Filmmaker - Celebrity Circuit - CBS News

NEW YORK (CBS) Irish filmmaker George Clarke thinks he has spotted something unusual -- a woman talking on a cell phone in a 1928 Charlie Chaplin film.


The clip, which was found in the DVD extras of "The Circus," shows a behind-the-scenes look at people attending the film premiere at Manns Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

I just saw on Fox News that they're still looking into that. So far they haven't proven it's a hoax, and hasn't been edited into the film... very strange!

It is very strange! It could be a hearing aid.....but why would you talk to your hearing aid? and why would you actively use your hearing aid when your just walking down the street, not engaging in conversation with someone else?

but a time traveler??!!!! I don't think so..............

...and what a perfect way for the Irish gentleman to promote his new movie!

If she's holding anything, which I doubt, and talking into it, it's probably a walkie talkie.

More likely she was doing something with an earring.

(BTW why does the fellow in the video need to waste time spending almost three minutes jabbering before showing us the clip?)

Maybe her hearing aid was falling out and she was trying to stick it back in, while telling someone off camera why she had her hand to her ear.

Some of you may remember a thread I started like this a few years ago.

I'm still sticking to my theory of mom holding a cell in the fifties.

Maine may have had cell phones in the 50's
