Always an individualist, Charlie Chaplin ha s made “CITY LIGHTS” without the sound of a single human voice, though sound is used with striking effect. "CITY LIGHTS,” coming to the Regent Theatre on August 22, for 3 nights, opens with a typical comedy scene in which Charlie is found sleeping in the arms of a statue when it is unveiled. Virginia Cherrill, a newcomer, who plays the part of a blind girl, gives a remarkably well-poised and convincing performance.
