      Departure

      By Edwin Schallert

      The first comedy of epic proportions has reached

the screen. Charlie Chaplin‘s The Gold Rush

sets a pace for length in the lighter sort of entertainment,

and though it is not all gay by any manner of means,

its premier appeal is for merriment.“ (...)

      „To estimate briefly the value of Chaplin‘s latest

contribution to the screen in the brief time

allotted to the writing of this early review is in a sense difficult

if not altogether impossible. The feature is one that

will depend greatly on the reception of audiences day in and

day out. The public which saw it last night evidenced

an immensely enthusiastic appreciation for the film, but

Chaplin has always commanded a high regard

from players and directors, because of his very individual

qualifications, and the fact that he has much

to do in bringing pictures to a place of independence

as an art.“ (...)
