Hi, everybody!
Here we are again…. on our way to Leandra and Neal’s house…
ready to discuss another yet another classic basset movie….
thanks to a stellar poster by our own StelBel!
It’s in the Feb 21th 2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”
On Sherpa:

And it’s Charlie Chapbasset!
The grand master of silent slapstick…
I’ve said it before… and I’ll say it again….
nobody could slap a stick or fetch one like Charlie!
This film is truly funny… in such deft comedic hands, er.. paws… you don’t need words.
Inimitable as Chapbasset was, he did have a human imitator….
who called himself Charlie “Chaplin.” Hah!
Sure enough, he did imitate this film….

I see the all-human version is merely “Circus” …
I guess cos they couldn’t find any fleas….
Bassets have much better access to them, performing or otherwise.
Ask any basset you know.
And it must not have had big co-stars in it like “Flea Circus” did,
cos none of the posters I found even mentioned any.
Probably couldn’t find a great human beauty, to take the place of Merna Kennel.
Some Cleo trivia….
Even though Charlie Chapbasset was a much bigger star (measured by fame, not stature),
A very young Cleo actually played the title role in a film with the human, Charlie Chaplin….

Leandra is a little nervous about what we might think of Neal’s decorating attempts…
I assured her that when we’re enjoying her beautiful cheese and fruit platter… and talking about Charlie Chapbasset…
we won’t even think to mention that… um…. lamp?
Oh…. and welcome to Cleo, BaconBoy Camper!
