& S. L. R. Keeps Talking About Charlie Chaplin (...)

      „Are you going to have your own film company and let us realize

the dream of our movie existence and write titles?“

      „Perhaps. Though I am not so anxious to produce

as I am to to direct. Ah! That is what I

should like – to make a picture of my own!“

      „Are you going in business with

Samuel Goldfish – Goldwyn – and direct his pictures?“

      „Perhaps. I haven‘t quite decided yet. Now,

don‘t you want to hear about Charlie Chaplin? Do you know him?“

      „Yes,“ we answered, „but we refuse to talk about him.

We insist on talking of your new plans. What are you going to do?“

      „Charlie Chaplin is the most versatile person I ever met.“

      „We are going unless you speak.“

      „He plays the ‘cello“ –

      We arose.

      „And the piano“ –

      We reached the door.

      „And he dances“ –

      We were in the hall.

      „And he imitates“ –

      And as the door swung behind us we heard something

about „6 o‘clock in the morning,“ „talking all night,“

„bully good fellow“ and „best actor in the world.“      H. U.

      H. U. is Harriette Underhill.

& S. L. Rothapfel has prepared for the wintry blasts.

He appeared at the Rivoli yesterday in a new

limousine resplendent with a broad red stripe across the

sleek black body (the body of the car, that is).

„Lack of material is all nonsense“

Editorial content. „Rothapfel has Convictions.“ (...)

      „Lack of material is all nonsense. Every story ever told can

be retold with a new vein and from a new angle.“ (...)

      „I received my original education as an exhibitor in a mining

town and found my audiences there were as quick

to absorb the psychology of a picture drama as my present

patrons.“

      S. L. Rothapfel is New York Rivoli and Rialto manager.

      Shoulder Arms has a pre-release presentation at the Strand

      Theatre, starting Sunday, October 20, 1918,
