Time Traveler?

Time traveler caught on film in 1928? Filmmaker claims find in Charlie Chaplin's 'The Circus' DVD: "Did a time traveler get caught on camera in 1928?

The web has been pondering this question recently after an Irish filmmaker posted a video to YouTube allegedly showing the person from the future talking into what appears to be a cell phone."

Hat tip to Art Scott.
Video at the link. I'm sure you can come up with plenty of better explanations than "time traveler," but that one would make a nice little SF story.

Mybe the clip isn't really from 1928; just a video of a 1920's set with actors walking by.

You'd think any time traveler would have better fashion sense than to look like Marie Dressler in Anna Christie.

Hm. OK, assuming this is a time traveler on a cell phone, who is she talking to? And how is the signal transmitted without cell towers? Obviously, this must be a time traveler using a walkie-talkie.
