& In answer to his legion of admirers Douglas Fairbanks,

star of „The Thief of Bagdad,“ which is now showing

at Grauman‘s Egyptian theater in conjunction with the prologue

magnificent produced by Sid Grauman, „The City

of Dreams,“ gives his reasons for filming this astonishing

cinema – the most radical departure yet made

in screen plays:

      „There is a touch of the fantastic even in the reason

I made ,The Thief of Bagdad,‘ for it is a reason

impelled by the unseen. The dreams, longings and roseate

ambitions of childhood are relegated to the background

of life by the struggle for existence.“

„A chaperon isn‘t such a bad start for matrimony“

Editorial content. „WONDER how Charlie Chaplin feels with

a chaperon.

      It must have been quite a long time since Charlie

had to take a chaperon along when he took a young lady out.

      But he does now. When his new leading woman,

the Spanish and very beautiful seventeen-year-old Lolita

Gray, goes to lunch or dinner with the great comedian,

she is always accompanied by a most aristocratic and discreet

duenna, either in person of her mother or her aunt.

      Well, that‘s the way the Harold Lloyd-Mildred Davis

affair started. Just at first Harold was obliged to buy

three theater tickets – though it wasn‘t long before the Davis

family adopted him as a son.

      Perhaps a chaperon isn‘t such a bad start for matrimony.“

      Egyptian, 6712 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles.

      The Gold Rush opens June 26, 1925.
