This looks like a lady is using a mobile phone whilst walking in London in 1928.
Is she a time traveller?

I know what the conversation is about!
"Yes Harold, it is wrong in our tree. Great Great Grandmother Ethel married in 1929, not 1928! I don't care what the records on Ancestry show, I just spoke to the lady and complemented her on her engagment ring and we had a nice cup of tea whilst she told me all about her wonderfull fiance. I was so tempted to tell her he was going to run away with the baby sitter in 1932. Then she might not have married him and I would have gone "poof"" and vanished along with dozens of her decendants."

That's not a bloke!! I've seen many women walk like that. 
And why are you insinuating that men are furtive!! That's a Walkie Talkie the woman is holding.

Walkie Talkies were not invented till 1940 and weighed many kilograms.

Re: Time Travelling lady in 1928 Chaplin Movie.
I bet they used to talk all the time as they were on a silent set
so my guess is a Bloke walking by
hand up to face to hide his "blokish" face
and cos his hand is up there he has a bit of a chat to those around him
