& Postpone Chaplin Reissues.

      Essanay has postponed the release of its four Chaplin pictures

for two weeks, the first being released March 1, instead

of February 15, as originally planned. The first issue will be

A Night in the Show, instead of Shanghaied, as first

intended, and will be followed by The Bank, Police and

Shanghaied, each two weeks apart.

& Chaplin Reissues in Big Demand.

      Essanay reports that the demand for the revivified Chaplin

comedies is increasing daily, booking coming in so

rapidly that extra prints are being made to accommodate the

exhibitors. This is partly due to the phenomenal  run

the first picture, „A Night in the Show,“ had in first-run houses,

many theatres featuring this picture, which had never

run a reissue before.

      The results have proven that the public likes Chaplin

as much as ever. The picture proved even more

of a box office attraction than anticipated, such houses as the

Rialto in New York and the Pantheon in Chicago

being crowded to the doors, with scores waiting a chance

to get in.

„Proving even more popular than at their debut“

Editorial content. „Big Bookings for Essanay Chaplins.

      That the prominent exhibitors are treating the new editions

of the Essanay Chaplins with all the honors of most

important current productions is revealed in further reports

from General Film Company exchanges. These

Charlie Chaplin comedy classics, which have never grown

old in the several years since they were produced,

once more on the market in brand new prints through the

George Kleine distribution, are proving even more

popular than at their debut.

      Besides the Broadway bookings in New York,

General and George Kleine representatives report the following

recent conspicuous bookings: Chicago: For a week´s

run at the McVickers Theatre or Rialto, and a two or three

days‘ engagement at the Randolph or Orpheum.

Washington: The Criterion for a week, and a second run

at the Empress. Buffalo: Shea‘s Hippodrome three

days. This house contracted at a price for three days as large

as it paid for the same subjects for a week in 1915.

Providence, R. I. and Rochester, N. Y.: Fay‘s theatres.

      The contracts relate to the Big Four Chaplin

releases, which include Shanghaied, A Night in the Show,

Police and The Bank.“
