      „Each day is being set aside for a studio visit. But my very

first call at a studio was made the afternoon I reached

Los Angeles. I met a member of the Chaplin studio force

and he asked me to stop in and see Chaplin. Charlie,

his sleeves rolled up, was titling the last reel of The Gold Rush.

He unreeled part of his picture for me, furnishing

the music by whistling, humming and playing a small foot

propelled organ.

      ,It is the very best picture I ever made,‘ he said  solemnly.

,It is so good that when we open it at Sid Grauman‘s

Egyptian theater, June 27, we are going to blue print each

chair in the theater.‘

      I agree with Chaplin that the bit I saw promises well.

He wrote titles while he furnished music, amusing

me with his intense expression and his enthusiasm over

his latest film child.

      The Gold Rush has been filmed in the back yard of Chaplin‘s

Hollywood studio, and he has concocted the most

effective imitation of snow that I have ever seen. Great hunks

of salt looks so real, that for a fleeting moment I thought

I had suddenly left the sunny California and reached some dreary desolate country. Pawn shops, missions and eating

places complete the nondescript village in Alaska, where the

action of The Gold Rush is supposed to take place.“ (...)

      „Charlie Chaplin has his eye on the Hippodrome for the

New York premiere of The Gold Rush. This suggestion

made to him by a theatrical man is receiving his attention. He

would like to get it during the summer months, when

the big New York house shuts down. The Mark Strand have

offered him a fabulous amount with the guarantee

of a six-weeks‘ run, and while he is considering this most

favorably, he is still intrigued with the Hippodrome

idea, and is asking every one‘s opinion on whether a movie

in summer time is a sufficient attraction to fill that

huge house.“ (...)
