Creepy Woman(?) Talking on Cell Phone in 1928 Chaplin Film?

This is so disconcerting.   Not just because she appears to be talking on a cell phone walking by the camera in a 1928 film but because she/he is so damn freaky looking while doing it! (what's with those shoes?)

So what is she holding?  A cell phone?  Is she a time traveler?  Or is it a 1924 Siemens Hearing Instrument?  IF it's the hearing aid who the hell is she talking to?  Or is she a crazy lady/man talking to her/his self while holding the hearing aid imagining they are talking on a cell phone???

Watch for yourself and tell me what you think :) ~jg

  3. As much science fiction as I have seen come to pass in my life I wouldn't put anything past old HG Wells...he and Chaplin were great friends you know.

    I saw his machine in Hollywood once. A friend of mine even sat in it--spooky.

  4. i would be inclined to say that it is a man, talking into the hearing instrument to a pretend listener, and is also just an all-round odd person with weird-ass shoes...

    ...except that there is something decidedly 'cat who swallowed the canary' about this guy.

  6. Sorry Jersey Girl. Didn't mean to screw-up your thread. If I knew how to delete my posts, I would.

    I was simply trying to embed an audio file per WordPress instructions. Obviously, I was unsuccessful.

  12. Exactly what I was thinking too acrcadia............something very "weird" about his/her expression when he/she looks at the camera.

    ReplyDelete
  13. :-) apt.

    the angelfire is a 404 error

    and thats one ugly lady...i suspect a bloke, size of hands and feet.she/he isnt exceptionally tall, about the same height as the bloke she? was following,
    for that size tootsies, it isnt feasible to be female at that height.

    Rogue, I hate to tell you- your mums your dad:-)

  21. Thanks JG. The audio file was suppose to be presented in a little audio player. But alas, the instructions lied. Oh well, thanks for cleaning up my mess.

  22. THank you Boomer! I knew he was reminding me of someone and that's it !

  23. ok WW , so your mums name is Orlando? :-)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Sorry to disappoint Oz, but I am an ethereal being and have always been here.
    Now I may be Orlando in one aspect of the larks tongue, but that is a different 'thing' all together now, and all a-part then.
    Call Central Casting, I think they have all the contact lists.

  25. nothing stranger than an old lady man wrestler listening to a music box gear and singing.



    My guess would be a crystal from Nubia and she is calling a galactic taxicab from the bermuda triangle

  26. Yes Puddy,
    As far as 'rational' likelihoods, there are many explanations for this that wouldn't necessitate time travel or a time warp.

    Considering the blurred and quick sight we have here it is very little to stake a claim beyond some mundane explanation.

    The idea is titillating and fun tho'.

  27. I hope that music box is playing Claire de Lune......Missed you soooooo much Mr Dunne. Glad to see you :)

  28. Yes Will , exactly. That was my point of posting. To have some fun with it ;) I try to lighten things up around here sometimes. By all your answers, I think it worked. Coto is a witty bunch :)

  30. Perhaps it is only our current cultural conditioning that projects the use of a cellphone in association with the subject's actions.

    In those days dentistry was pretty crude - mayhaps this odd looking woman had a severely impacted or abscessed tooth, was holding a compress or some other object to dispense curative vapours. Being in extreme pain, she was cursing the creator or maybe the hulk-like mother responsible for her miserable lot in life to endure such pain.

    Still rolling over about the time traveler theory.

  31. By the way y'all this "odd looking woman" was not at all so odd looking in this era.
    Take a look at any old Sears and Robuck catalog from this time period, your could choose her outfit, even the shoes out of those pages easlily.

    And you won't find a single cell phone product there. I GUARANTEE IT.

    I bet it'd be easy to put that costume together for Wallysweenie tomorow night if ya lived near the prop shops in Wallywood. Besides the excellent poontang, that was part of why it was so cool there as a 'young man'.

  32. Something weird to my thinking; in Indiana, Halloween isn't just on Halloween--and may not even BE on Halloween some years here....????

    It is now the Fri/Sat/Sun nearest the date. A real diltution solution to an already plasticized holiday that was actually a fun and spooky time when I was a kid.

    I don't know how many states have gone to this 'schedual' but I think it stinks--like everything else this system squats on.

    Give me that real Sleepy Hollow deal.
