31、 Face on the BarRoom Floor”， and “His Trysting Place”. These early silent shorts allowed very little time for anything but physical comedy, and Chaplin was a master at it.Though Chaplin is of the silent movie era, we see his achievements carried through in the films of today. With the appearance of
