The limitations set by efficiency engineers as to time and
money that feature modern methods of productions
were not in effect during the filming of „The Gold Rush,“
and Charlie Chaplin used half-million feet of film
and two years‘ time to complete the picture of the humorous
side of life in the Klondike.

& „Gold Rush“ Opens Run in Hollywood
The premiere of Charlie Chaplin‘s „The Gold Rush,“
his newest feature comedy for United Artists, was
held at Grauman‘s Egyptian Hollywood Theatre on the evening
of June 26. The presentation was accompanied
by a special music score and an elaborate prologue. It was
enthusiastically received by a brilliant first-night
audience which numbered the leading lights of the film colony
on the West Coast. Los Angeles newspaper critics
pronounced it an „epic comedy,“ and used superlatives
in praising the picture as the comedian‘s greatest
screen effort. „The Gold Rush“ is to have its New York
premiere at the Mark Strand Theatre sometime
in August. Negotiations were concluded this week by Moe
Mark and Hiram Abrams of United Artists, and Arthur
Kelly, personal representative of Chaplin. The definite opening
date is to be announced soon by Joseph Plunkett,
managing director of the Mark Strand.

& „Chaplin a great producer as well
as a re-producer. The premiere of the „Gold Rush“
at Grauman‘s Egyptian Theater in Hollywood
something about which to write home, as they say at Harvard.
Dazzling! Great picture. All the stars there. Mabel
Normand‘s reception second only to Charlie‘s. Chaplin
full of emotion made halting speech from stage.
Valentino did a stunt. Motion pictures showed him at beach,
his clothes stolen. Starts to town in bathrobe. Then
Rudy himself ran down the aisle, still wearing the bathrobe.
Really! Had his evening clothes on under it, though.
„Hollywood‘s a great place, a merry-go-round on which
multi-colored lights play, and –“
Here Mr. Jackson rambles off into various
green pastures of philosophy, which is neither here nor there.
So it‘ll not be printed.

& Chaplin Gets ‘Em
HOLLYWOOD‘S acting fraternity swears allegiance
to Chaplin. When the comedian has a premiere
no one takes the event lightly. It is a serious matter for
all the players.
Harry Carey is perhaps the only actor in Hollywood who
had never been inside Sid Grauman‘s Egyptian
Theatre, that is, he was, until the premiere of Chaplin
in „The Gold Rush.“ Between making pictures
and attending to his new trading post, Carey rarely has time
to go to the theatre. When there is some particular
picture he wants to see he has a print shipped out to his
ranch at Saugus, California, and shows it in his
own little theatre. But the premiere of „The Gold Rush“
proved too great an inducement and with his wife
and youngster he made the forty-mile pilgrimage from his
ranch to attend the opening. „I wouldn‘t miss the
premiere of a new Chaplin picture, if I had to walk the whole
distance,“ was the way Carey explained his presence.
All of which sort of proves how the people within the industry
regard the Comedy King.

„The consensus of opinion“
Editorial content. „An Editor on Broadway
The Week in review
By William A. Johnston“ (...)
„With Don Q, The Gold Rush and Little Annie Rooney,
United Artists starts off the season with a rush.
Reports from the coast on Little Annie Rooney – in advance
of any public presentation, are most favorable;
as for Don Q, and The Gold Rush the consensus of opinion
is that these are the best box-office pictures from
Fairbanks and Chaplin to date. It will be interesting to compare
figures at Strand theatre on The Gold Rush as against
The Kid which so far holds the record there.“
The Gold Rush opens June 26, 1925
at Grauman‘s Egyptian, 6712 Hollywood Bld., Los Angeles.
The Gold Rush opens August 15, 1925
at Strand Theatre, B‘way at 47th St., New York.
