Chaplin

[Kathryn Millard]

            Hi Joanne,
 
Yes, I am interested in Chaplin imitators as well.  I am just returning
to this project after a long haul making  a film so have not yet got
hold of your book, although I have read about it with considerable
interest.  Thanks a lot.

Hi Kathryn,

I'm not sure this is what you are looking for, but there were Chaplin
imitators in Japan too. I have a picture of a popular one in my book,
_Writing in Light: The Silent Scenario and the Japanese Pure Film
Movement_ (Wayne State University Press, 2001) : p. 117 has a pic of
"The 'Japanese Chaplin'" Nakajima Iwajiro (Koyo), in a 1919 publication.
At the time he was working with Toyo Film Co. I just checked my index
and I do have an entry for Chaplin. I now I translated at least one
quote about the popularity of his work, and wrote on the popularity of
Chaplin specifically and American comedy in general in Japan especially
in the mid-teens. THis might be interesting for you.

best,
Joanne

Hi, 



I?m a filmmaker and academic returning to the kinejapan discussion list
after an absence.  I have just completed a feature ?Travelling Light?
and teach screenwriting in the Department of Media at Sydney?s Macquarie
University. 



I am working on a film project about Chaplin?s influence and am
interested in any thoughts anyone may have about his influence on other
filmmakers, screen comedians in Japan.   I am also interested in any
films that could be seen as re-workings of Chaplin titles.  For example,
there are many ?tributes to?, re-workings of ?The Kid? in different
cultures. 



Any thoughts appreciated. 



Thanks.
