„The picture I want to be remembered by“

Editorial content. „Chaplin Finishes

      ,The Gold Rush‘

      The final scenes of the long awaited comedy, Charlie

      Chaplin in The Gold Rush, have been filmed.

      His studio records reveal the fact that the first scenes

of the production were filmed on February 7, 1924, and the final

scene taken on April 16, 1925.

      ,This is the picture I want to be remembered by‘

was the only comment made by Charlie while being congratulated

by his studio staff on the auspicious occasion of the final

fade out. ,Let‘s call it a picture. We‘re all tired out and a couple

of months‘ vacation will be a tonic for a fresh start when

I am ready for my next one.‘

      While the actual filming of The Gold Rush has been

completed there is still work to be done. The arduous task

of cutting and editing – the perfect synchronizing

of scenes and action. This, the secret of Chaplin successes,

must be accomplished before the public will get

a glimpse of the first comedy which has cost over a million

dollars to produce.

      The Gold Rush will be released in ten or more reels, and

will reveal a biographic symbolization of the real

Charlie Chaplin; his life of enterprise from unknown to multi-

millionaire, portrayed against a background of

hardships as one of the gold seekers in the frozen

wastes of Alaska.

      A new note in comedy dramatics will be sounded with

showing of this picture. An advanced departure in

character portrayal and delineation – even more revolutionary

than shown in Chaplin‘s A Woman of Paris will be

revealed with Charlie in The Gold Rush.“
