EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Clement Shorter, the esteemed founder and editor of The Sphere magazine, is seen flanked by two of the most famous faces in Hollywood during their visit to America in 1920. The charismatic Douglas Fairbanks and the legendary Charlie Chaplin, both icons of the silver screen, gracefully pose with Shorter, who was known for his sharp wit and keen insight as a writer and author. Shorter's visit to the United States marked a significant moment in his career, as he was covering the burgeoning film industry for The Sphere. The photograph captures the excitement and glamour of the era, with Fairbanks and Chaplin, two of the biggest stars of the time, eager to share their stories with the world through Shorter's influential magazine. Fairbanks, a dashing swashbuckler and a pioneer of the action-adventure genre, had already made a name for himself with films like "The Mark of Zorro" and "The Thief of Bagdad." Chaplin, on the other hand, was a groundbreaking comedian and director, known for his iconic character, the Tramp, and films like "The Kid" and "The Gold Rush." The photograph is a testament to the power of the written word and the magnetic allure of the silver screen. It serves as a reminder of a time when the worlds of literature and film intersected, and the stories of the day were brought to life through the pages of magazines like The Sphere. This evocative image, captured by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the magic of movies and the power of the pen came together to captivate the world.
