„One of the faces on the cutting room floor“

Editorial content. „Do you think she looks like Edna Purviance,

the leading woman of Charlie Chaplin´s early comedies?

Chaplin selected Virginia Cherrill to play the heroine in City Lights because she is the blonde, blue-eyed Purviance-type. 

Miss Cherrill is a Chicago society girl. Her first studio experience

was a ,bit´ in The Air Circus. But you didn‘t see her

in that picture because hers was one of the faces on the

cutting room floor.“
