The article also makes special mention of the Chaplin connection, which it considers Chaplin, who has always had the wistful pathos of a great comedian, has strengthened his pathos without decreasing his humour, and as a result, The Gold Rush (1925) outperforms his classic masterpiece Shoulder Arms (1918).; Shoulder Arms (1918); The Gold Rush from Pictures and the Picturegoer; Sell the Charlie Chaplin, the Fans Love Best!; The Gold Rush, Charlie Chaplin, 1925 - Dinner Roll Dancing Scene
Scholarly Significance: This passage about Chaplin sums up well the personality of Chaplin, and his films are always of a melancholy nature.
A master comedian of his generation, his approach underwent a transition from early gags and slapstick farce to biting and profound satirical comedy, a fusion of pure comedy to tragicomedy, and a gradual development towards a distinctly tragic character. This is evident in the sadness and irony of The Gold Rush, released in 1925, which is even more poignant than the 1918 Shoulder Arms.
