Shoulder Arms Clippings 107/246
New York Times, New York, November 3, 1918.
This Page is inserted in a spirit of appreciation
To Mr. Charles Chaplin
with the compliments of
the Strand Theatre
Harold Edel, Managing Director
We think the capacity business of the Strand has done
this week when most theatres have been shummed by panic-stricken people because of the epidemic is the most remarkable
tribute ever paid any star of stage or screen.
We think it a most wonderful appreciation of Shoulder Arms
that people veritably take their lives in their hands to see it.
We are going to break our ,one week run‘ rule and continue
Shoulder Arms next week.
We are shouting this news from the housetops because
we know you have chosen to make but two great pictures
this year while you could have made double or treble the money
by producing twelve mediocre ones.
We want you to know that your ideals are going to lead
other true artists away from machine production – that your success has demonstrated what a star can do when he controls
and is responsible for his own productions and we want you
to know that, so surely as the day follows the night, the
public will reward you.
We feel that the Strand through its efforts for the betterment
of exhibitors has earned the right to thus publicity commend your
efforts for the production of truly great pictures.
The Board of Health Said: –
Avoid Crowds
but New Yorkers took their lives in their hands
and Packed the Strand Theatre all week – to see Shoulder Arms
