„We stand in awe and respect“

Editorial content. „Chaplin Invades Chicago

      King of Screen Comedies Spends Lively Sojourn in Windy

      City and Then Hikes for the West Coast

      Charlie Chaplin, unassisted, took Chicago last week

and held it for several days.

      Then he ,ducked‘ for Los Angeles.“ (...)

      „Chaplin was formally initiated into the Spanish Athletes.

      Barratt O‘Hara, lieutenant governor of Illinois

and a personage not unknown to Broadway in his lighter

moments, Personally vouched for Mr. Chaplin

as a fitting candidate for the somewhat exclusive distinctions

of membership in the order.

      ,There is something funny about this candidate,‘ observed

O‘Hara, ,but we cannot let it stand against him.

      ,There are many aspects of his career which make

it particularly fit that he should be one of us.

      ,As I reflect with proper appreciation and extreme reverence

upon the great and honored roll of the members of this

organization, this sacred order, I can recall none who have thrown

it farther and with greater ease and grace.

      ,The word will not long remember what we say here,

but it can never forget what he did in New York.

We stand in awe and respect. I commend him to you.‘“
