& That Big Opening
Here we have it – a bird‘s-eye-ful of Hollywood itself gone
movie mad... Sid Grauman putting on two great shows
at once... A four-million-dollar one inside, a sixty-thousand-dollar
one outside... Searchlights burning the sky, planes roaring
and looping above the dazed hordes... Hell‘s Angels!

married. (...) You haven‘t seen Chaplin because he‘s been
doing a movie marathon – making one of those epics that takes
years to complete. It‘s called „City Lights.“

& Charlie Has The
Village Guessing
Puzzling things are happening at the Chaplin studio –
maybe the flowering of an important romance.
That‘s the theory of some in accounting for the entry of Georgia
Hale as Charlie‘s leading lady in „City Lights.“
When the picture is two-thirds done little Virginia
Cherrill is displaced by the comedian‘s leading
lady in „The Gold Rush.“
Did Virginia, a neophyte in pictures, fail to meet
the test? Charlie is too gallant to say so, and she‘s to stay
in a minor part.
Or did he want Georgia oftener by his side? Not
unlikely, since Charlie has been showing her much attention
of late.

„This picture had absolutely converted him to sound!“
Editorial content. „Not silent one night: After all Charlie
Chaplin has said against talkies, and after his recent
promise to build his own studio and make only silent pictures,
he stood in the lobby of the Chinese on the opening
night of Hell‘s Angels and declared for the benefit of all and
sundry that this picture had absolutely converted
him to sound!“
