A fellow from Dublin has spotted what he says is a Time Traveler in film from the 1928 Hollywood premiere of Charlie Chaplin’s Circus. George Clarke is convinced that he sees a woman (or a man in drag) walk across the set talking on a cell phone!
Since that is impossible – cell phones weren’t around in the 20’s, not even for H. G. Wells – naysayers have been quick to say the old gal is just using a hearing aid like the ear trumpet below.
I own hearing aids – it is a bone of contention at our house that I spent several thousand dollars on them and never wear them – and while that does not make me an expert, I have watched the movie several times and the ear trumpet theory seems no more likely than time travel to me. It really appears to me that she/he is talking on a phone.
Watch and decide for yourself :
