Evidence of time travel?

An Irish filmmaker thinks he has found evidence of time travel in a Charlie Chaplin movie.

George Clarke says a video from a bonus feature of the DVD to Chaplin's 1928 film "The Circus" shows a woman talking into something she's holding up to her ear.

It appears to be a mobile phone, although they weren't invented until the 1970s.

It's likely the actor is holding a hearing aid, but we won't be the judge.
