Good morning!

Can anyone explain the connection between the clue and the answer in the following two cases?

Prince Hal (Hal in charge), potentially a star of 10 (7, 7)
ANS: Charlie Chaplin

The Answer of 10 was: silent screen.


Day of sport – night of comedy (7)
ANS: Twelfth

The glorious 12th is when the game shooting season starts and Twelfth night by Shakespeare

The other is an anagram of the first few words and ic for in charge

Day of sport – night of comedy (7)
ANS: Twelfth

The Glorious Twelfth = 12-August = Grouse shooting season opens

Twelfth Night = Shakespearean comedy

Sorry, posts crossed

The glorious 12th is when the game shooting season starts and Twelfth night by Shakespeare

The other is an anagram of the first few words and ic for in charge

Thank you! You're great!
I went for P (prince) + HAL + IC (in charge) to get Chaplin, but couldn't explain Charlie then...
