      The Mighty Wurlitzer Unit Organ

is the accepted World‘s Standard for theatre use.

      That is why a Wurlitzer is installed at the

      NEW GALLERY KINEMA

      (The Mecca of the Cinema World.)

      The organist at the key desk has at his control all the musical

tones that go to make a Complete Symphony Orchestra

and at the same time the melodious and Majestic Strains of the

Cathedral Organ.

      „Hats Off to Charlie

      As I have no time this week to write to Charlie Chaplin,

I want to tell him, in Variety, that The Circus is the

best entertainment I have seen of any kind since The Gold Rush.

      When I went into the first performance, smartly

dressed people were waiting in a snowstorm in a queue to go in,

two hours later! When I know that Chaplin took the oldest

story in the world and one of the most commonly used settings

on the films, and then made it a perfect show, I am

taking off my hat to the greatest personality in the whole

world of entertainment.

      The next afternoon, I met Ralph D. Blumenfeld, editor

of the ,Daily Express,‘ my chief and colleague.

      ,What did you think of it?‘ I said, hearing he had been

to The Circus on previous night.

      ,What I saw was worth $250,‘ he replied.

      Even bored Fleet Street takes off its hat to Charlie.“

      New Gallery Theatre, 121-125 Regent Street, London.

      The Circus Premiere in London March 13, 1928.

      The Circus is released by United

      Artists in New York January 6, 1928.
