have earned for him, „The Griffith of Advertising.“ (...)

      CHARLIE CHAPLIN in A NIGHT IN THE SHOW

      To Circle Patrons:

      Good Music never dies, good books are always re-read,

good plays revived and played again and again.

      The young art of the screen has likewise created

classics, pictures good enough and

old enough to be revived and enjoyed anew.

      The Circle believes that in offering

a revival of the „Chaplin Classics“ it is not only

contributing to the pleasure of its

patrons, but is offering a tribute to a great artist.

    A tribute to the art of a little, wiry,

curly-haired fellow with funny feet and an idea, who

rose in five years from a $75-a-week funmaker

in cheap vaudeville to a million-dollar-a-year comedian.

      „A Night in a Show“ was filmed several years

ago when Charlie Chaplin was just starting

on his sensational career. We know you will enjoy it.

Editorial content. „Advertising for Exhibitors

      Conducted by EPES WINTHROP SARGENT“ (...)

      „McCormicks.

      Not all of S. Barrett McCormick‘s best work is done

in the large advertisements.“ (...)

      „Do not offer too long a program, but get

two or three really popular numbers,

and drill your patrons until they know them.“ (...)

„The same idea is repeated in a three fifteens

which is shown here in connection with a similar display for

His Parisian Wife. In this last, note a little of the

space for the first of the Chaplin revivals.“
