& WELL, nothing like it had ever been seen

by the citizens of Los Angeles before. I mean the first

showing of Chaplin‘s „City Lights.“

      Women‘s evening gowns were torn. For hours

the mob surged back and forth, apparently

unafraid of policemen‘s clubs, which were freely used.

      At last the comedian arrived. He was

accompanied by Professor and Mrs Einstein and

Georgia Hale. What Einstein thought about

it could only be told by use of the fourth dimension.

      Chaplin, who was literally mobbed, was ever

smiling, ever gracious, even while the buttons were being

pulled off his coat. He might have been torn

to bits if the police had not completely surrounded him.
