What a difference seeing a silent comedy with a live audience and music makes! Had the opportunity to watch "Charley's Aunt" with a hundred and sixty other people with music provided on a Wurlitzer Theatre pipe organ and it was magic. I heard a number of people after the screening express themselves about having one of the most enjoyable evenings ever. One lady thought that Syd was even funnier than Charlie! You really can't judge a silent comedy until you have seen it in this manner. Syd Chaplin was wonderful as the guy impersonating Charley's Aunt, but so was the supporting cast. Most all of the visual gags worked wonderfully with the audience. This film may be found on the 3-disc DVD set of "American Slapstick V. 2", which is sold by Facets. After seeing Syd Chaplin's 1925 version I now would like to see the Jack Benny and Ray Bolger (called "Where's Charley?") sound versions. There have been six or seven film versions of "Charley's Aunt" world wide over the years, but the 1925 Syd Chaplin incarnation still holds up, especially if seen with an audience.
