„The maximum in burlesque“

Editorial content. „Shoulder Arms Has Showing October 20

      Shoulder Arms, the second million dollar Chaplin

comedy to be released by the First National Exhibitors‘ Circuit

under its contract with the famous comedian for a total

of eight productions, will have a pre-release presentation for

one week at the Strand theatre, New York, starting

Sunday, October 20.

      The actual release date throughout the country to all

exhibitors holding first run contracts with First

National for the Chaplin productions is October 27.

      Shoulder Arms was made in an atmosphere entirely new

to the Chaplin type of fun making. The humorous

possibilities of life in the trenches, with the thousand and

one little events that go to make up the average

doughboy‘s day, have been thoroughly contorted by Chaplin

to obtain the maximum in burlesque.“
