„They didn‘t have time to run it“

Editorial content. „GOOD SHORT STORIES“ (...)

      „Laugh on Him

      The loungers in the lobby of the Hollywood Hotel had

a good laugh at the expense of a tourist the other day.

The tourist went to see Charley Chaplin‘s Circus. The picture

is short and in order to make up the full time allotted

to a performance, the theater management has arranged

a schedule wherein there is a long, elaborate prologue,

and then, after the intermission, the picture is put on. The tourist,

not having read the program, did not know this, and,

thinking the show was over when the intermission came,

left the house.

      Consequently, when asked how he enjoyed the picture,

he replied: ,I don‘t know. They didn‘t have time to run it.‘“

      The Circus is released by United

      Artists in New York January 6, 1928.
