Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Synopsis

Why is the synopsis missing?

[edit] grammar

the paragraph that starts "This scene..." should be edited. It's not clear what "This" is referring to. Amirman 05:57, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Languages

[edit] Spanish

I noticed that the banners at the demosntration are in English and in Spanish. Were there many Hispanic workers in California by that time or was it a wink to the Spanish-language moviegoers?

"By that time"? Check the history of California.

[edit] The song

The song that Chaplin sings, is in pure gibberish? Is there any meaning? It seems to me that there are hints of French and Italian. Is the music original? I think I have heard it before watching the film.

It is gibberish, of course! :-) --SeeFood

       It's called "the nonsense song"!
