Shoulder Arms Clippings 181/246

Julian Johnson, Photoplay, New York, January 1919.

THE UNIQUE INTERIOR DECORATION installed by George J.

Schade in his Schade theatre, Sandusky, O., for the

Christmas run of First National‘s „Nobody,“ was retained

throughout the holiday season.

(...) Exhibitors Herald, Feb. 4, 1922

& GEORGE J. SCHADE, owner of the Schade theatre,

Sandusky, O., is always pulling something different.

This was the sort of a stunt that he used with the showing

of the new Chaplin picture, „Shoulder Arms.“ Now

the „flu“ had hit his city hard, and the theatres had been closed

so that the greater trend of the conversation was about

the „flu.“

& Worst Epidemic Ever Known Sweeping The Country

      From Coast To Coast; Contagious

      None Can Escape It; Incurable But Not Fatal (...)

      NEW YORK, Dec. 4 – Another epidemic

that is causing medical men much anxiety on account

of its incurableness is sweeping the entire

country. (...) The attacks last from a few seconds to an hour

and a half. You can‘t escape it. You will know that

you have the disease as soon as you laugh at Charlie Chaplin

in „Shoulder Arms“ at the Schade Theatre for

three days, beginning tomorrow.

      „FINALLY, the comedy.

      After an indifferent feature, after a routine news-reel,

after an average scenic – after anything, we list the funny film.

      Why? Why do we make laughter only a sideshow,

while giving our greatest homage to a little man

with a syncopated walk and microscopic moustache?“ (...)

      „In Shoulder Arms Charlie Chaplin so easily

and perfectly gets away from the bewildering trousers,

the rattan cane and the immortal derby hat that

this escape, at last, is scarcely the matter of a moment‘s

thought.

      Here he is in khaki, canvas leggings and army hat – yet

how many of us have insisted, that the gentlemanly

essentials named in the preceding paragraph were an absolutely

necessary part of his success?

      Shoulder Arms is the glory-dream of a recruit.“ (...)
