Shoulder Arms Clippings 219/246

Photoplay, New York, June 1919.

The Towers of Station WOW, at Omaha, Nebraska

      Formerly known as WOAW, this station has

enjoyed a wide national popularity. In April, this station celebrates

its fourth anniversary. The illustration shows the

hoisting of a large section of plate glass, which now forms

the front of a unique studio atop this 19-story-building.

The studio is arranged as a stage, properly insulated against

sound inside, but with a front panel of glass to allow

those seated in a small auditorium to watch and to hear

the broadcast as it occurs.

& Omaha – „I used to argue against Chaplin.

I have been converted. Chaplin in Shoulder Arms will be shown

here. Come and see him. Especially those who object

to him are invited. I‘ll guarantee your money back if you want

it after seeing Shoulder Arms.“

      The above was a slide that M. C. Monaghan of the

Apollo, 28th and Leavenworth Streets, Omaha,

showed at his house before Chaplin was played last week.

      „Now,“ says Monaghan, „I am figuring on suing

the A. H. Blank Enterprises, who own the First National franchise

here, for damages. The crowd not only smashed every

record at my house, but it was so great and so enthusiastic

it smashed nearly everything else.“

      This was about the sixth run of „Shoulder Arms“ in Omaha.

„Just two feet!“

Editorial content. „Stardom‘s Height

      TO raise the Jester to a thing sublime,

      To leave where other memories come and leet

      A star-dust imprint on the sands of Time

      For ,bootless‘ emulation – Chaplin´s ,feat.´

Oh, sacred misfits, great twin ,soles‘ of mirth,

In painful pacings o‘er the silversheet

The giddy height to stardom from this earth

Ye scaled and found it measured – just two feet!

      V. Codd, London, England.“
