THE MAKING OF „THE GOLD RUSH“

      AFTER months of preparation, following the completion

of „A Woman of Paris,“ the dramatic sensation

of the age, written and produced by Charlie Chaplin, the filming

of „The Gold Rush“ was started on February 7, 1924,

with the final scenes taken on April 16, 1925.(...)

                                                    Los Angeles, June 26.“ (...)

      „The Gold Rush is a distinct triumph for Charlie Chaplin

from both the artistic and commercial standpoints,

and it is a picture certain to create a veritable riot at theatre

box offices.“ (...)

      „Humor is the dominating force, with Chaplin reaching

new heights as a comedian. Chaplin naturally carries

practically the entire 10 reels of action and performs this task

without difficulty. He transcends everything that has

ever gone before in comedy production, and it will be a long

time before any one displaces him as the genius

of pantomime.“ (...)

      „The sequence showing Chaplin and Swain in the

see-sawing cabin on the edge of the precipice surpasses

anything ever before screened and provides one

reel of continuous roars and howls.“

                                                                                    „Wally.“

      The Gold Rush opens June 26, 1925

      at Grauman‘s Egyptian, 6712 Hollywood Bld., Los Angeles.
