WIRES GRAUMAN
Mack Swain, the big comedian whose role in „The Gold
Rush“ helped so much to put over the new Chaplin
comedy at the Egyptian Theater, sent the following telegram
to Sid Grauman:
„Regret that I cannot be with you to witness grand
opening of „The Gold Rush,“ but am confident
public enthusiasm will equal that of the Alaskan prospectors
of ’98 and your audience will find in this picture many
nuggets of value and mines of amusement.
„Mack Swain.“

descent and the can ob tobacco you didn‘t walk a mile for
rolled up into a little ball in your hip pocket, what
would you say?“ (...)
„FUNNY VILLAIN
,You know, this fellow Chaplin, he‘s given me my first
part that wasn‘t nothing but a bunch of bumps and
funny stuff! Yep. in the Gold Rush I am a villain! Ever see
a funny villain? Look at me! I‘m the heaviest heavy
in the business – that‘s something to boast about, isn‘t it?
Yep, I‘ve worked eighteen months on that picture
and didn‘t even freeze a foot!“ (...)
