This is about a piece of footage a film maker (George Clarke) found behind the scenes in a Charlie Chaplins film 'The Circus'. Attending the premiere at Manns Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, CA - the scene shows a large woman dressed in black with a hat hiding most of her face, with what can only be described as a mobile phone device - talking as she walks alone.

In 1928..!?

Is this for real.. or a coincidental fluke of misinterpretation..    The footage is authentic and real...  

can you hear me now!

if that's her from the future, who's she calling as she's currently in the past

Horay for Blue Tooth!

Now all the crazies that walked around muttering to themselves can look like they are talking on the phone.

It's fake! Did you take a look at the shadow on the sidewalk along with the transparency of the elephant statue as she or he walked behind it? It's a fake.  :lol:

Fake or not, it's a brilliant idea for a book....or a film...like a Michael Moorcock novel.

How can it be a fake...  If you bought the chapplin movie you can see it there as well...   Unless George Clarke is lying about it being in the movie CD's that anyone can buy from the store...  Then his reputation for film making is out the window...

@bobbystahr

she is calling her other time traveling partner..? think of the roaming charges...!

@Paul Francis: yes it would...There is already a debunking story..   They are claiming it is an 1924 Siemens hearing aid..  Transisitors were not around till the 1950's... A vacumm tube hearing aid..?  and a car battery...?   probably why she looked so heavy...

She/He has whats called an Ear Trumpet,  google it, it was used for the hearing impaired, you can see he/she adjusting it near the end.

ROTFLMAO...

Could it possibly be:

Surely they would just HAVE to be steam-powered...!

LOL...the steam powered model was the delux version and offered the automatic ear cleaning and wax removal feature.

 

 

Well if it's a hearing aid, why is she talking into it?

Well now that I look at the shape of the device... I can see it being mistaken by a cell phone...   as far as talking into it..  I use to, as a child, cup my hand covering part of my ear and talk into my palm.. I enjoyed doing that,,   perhaps this person is doing the same... 

 

BTW..  I still do it.....  :) 

but not as often... 

@ Bryster...she's either talking to the chap who was walking in front of her and is now off screen or someone else who is off screen and so it seems as if she's talking to herself.

Maybe that guy was her husband and he was trying to get out of ear shot from his hard of hearing and yacking wife...who knows? It was a Charley Chaplin movie.

 

 

 

 

 

This is a classic example of how people can misinterpret things from the past based on current culture. Mayan animal headpieces become space helmets. Egyptian paintings show rocket ships. Hebrew visions are populated with aliens. It's an irritating human habit of forcing an easy explanation on things they don't understand.

What time-traveler worth their salt would walk down a public street, much less at a premier being filmed, using a device that would draw attention? Wouldn't she at least duck down an alley?

@scanmead:...  You are right...  And there are smaller communication devices that are virtually invisible.. not to mention in a time long ahead of us in a time where time travel is a technological reality, the communication devices will be even smarter..

One point:  this short clip is a small magnified part of a wider angle shot outside the theater as a " back drop shot"  included in the movie story.. 

the people caught in it did not know there was a camera capturing the area...  So our mystery person would not have known about it in order to avoid it...

Still, on a public, well-lit street. And I certainly hope this woman is not a glimpse of a typical lady from the future.

Now that is a time machine. ;)
