Behind The Screen was
Chaplin's seventh film for Mutual.
It descends from two of his
Keystone comedies. A Film Johnny
and The Property Man,
but at the same time burlesques
the Mack Sennet school of knock-
about which Chaplin had left exactly
two years before this film
was released on November , .
BEHIND THE SCREEN
"Can I be an actress, please?"
"Goliath, the stage-hand.
David, his assistant."
"Prepare the scene!"
"Loafing again?"
Later. The scene dressed.
Finishing touches.
"Look! At it again!"
Stage-hands' lunch hour.
"How dare you wake us up?
We strike!"
"We've struck!
Are you with us?"
"Do you need a stage-hand, sir?"
"When I fire this g*n --
you pull the traps!"
"Oh! Mercy!"
"Boy, sew this!"
The dramatic department.
The comedy department.
Rehearsing a new idea.
"I don't like this
high-brow stuff!"
The strikers plan revenge.
GIANT POWDER
DYNAMITE
"Can you act?"
"He ducks and you get it!"
