Upon receiving the news of Linder 's death , Chaplin is reported to have closed his studio for one day out of respect . In the ensuing years , Linder was relegated to little more than a footnote in film history until 1963 when a Max Linder compilation film titled '' Laugh with Max Linder '' premiered at the Venice Film Festival and was theatrically released . The film was a compilation of Linder 's last three films made in Hollywood and its release was supervised by his daughter , Maud Linder . In 1983 , Maud Linder made a documentary film , '' The Man in the Silk Hat '' , about Linder 's life and career . It was screened out of competition at the 1983 Cannes Film Festival . In 1992 , Maud Linder published a book about Linder in France , '' Max Linder was my father '' and in 2008 she received the Prix Henri Langlois for her work to promote her father 's legacy . In his honor , '' Lycée Max Linder '' , a public school in the city of Libourne in the Gironde département near his birthplace was given his name in 1981
