& He did a „crazy“ thing recently in Great
Britain. Having control for that market of a two-a-week
program of big stars and guessing correctly
in advance that the stars would leave the program he cut
releases to one a week and is now issuing
new star pictures. Which seems to give pleasure to Mr. Winik‘s
exhibitor patrons over there.
A more recent „crazy“ deal on Mr. Winik‘s part is the acquisition
of the British rights on a new Chaplin picture.

„CHARLEY CHAPLIN made his first scenes Wednesday
of last week for his first release through the First
National Exhibitors‘ Association. The scenes made up to this time
are mostly of a mob nature, more than fifty extra people
being used. The only players selected to this time are Edna
Purviance, who is to play lead opposite, and Henry
Bergman, the heavy-weight comedian.
The Chaplin Studio is now completed with the exception
of work on the grounds such as building concrete
walks, landscape gardening, etc., and it will be possible
for Mr. Chaplin to proceed with production without
further delay. he plans that his first release shall be made
about March 1.“
