GERMAN MOVIE CRITIC
SWITCHES ON u. S. FILMS
Berlin Audiences Not Too "High-
brow" After All, He
Finally Decides.
ny the Associated Press.

BERLIN, April 16.--German movie
critics, who have yainly attempted TO
explain the great popularity of Ameri-
can film comedies in this country,
have given up their attacks against
Hollywood trash" because they have
realized German audiences are not as
"highbrow' as they were led to be-
lieve.
An analysis of the art of Charlie
Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and Buster
keaton in one of Berlins largest daily
newspapers contains the following ex-
ample of the new mode of criticism:
1T is peculiar but true" the article
says, that European audiences mani
fest a far deeper understanding for
the American film comedians than the
American public. Americans laugh at
their comedians. but they do not un-
derstand them 1t is well that II is so.
A real appreciation of their film hu
morists would force the American peo.
pie into a realization that their most
popular stars were satirizing the aver
age Yankee and ridiculing his insane
craving for work money and super
moral morality. The American women
alone appear to have caught on to
Chaplin's art and for that reason have
let loose a gigantic female conspiracy
to ruin him for personal reasons.
