& The French public are a little upset at the American

movie companies. And the Paris newspapers

are voicing the complaints. It seems that every time a French

woman is the heroine of an American film, she

is shown as a woman of little virtue. Or, rather, like „Trillby,“

she is presented as a woman with all the virtues

but one. Now the French don‘t like it because they feel that

the movies spread the idea that the standard of noble

womanwood in France isn‘t all it should be.

And, by the way, a French director tells me that when

„A Woman of Paris“ was shown in France,

the locale of the story was changed from Paris

to a large American city.

„Is to return to the screen under the direction of Charlie Chaplin“

Editorial content. „Studio News & Gossip East and West

      By Cal York“ (...)

      „Edna Purviance, whose portrayal of A Woman

of Paris – which picture by the way made Adolphe Menjou –

remains one of the outstanding pieces of acting

in motion pictures, is to return to the screen under the direction

of Charlie Chaplin. It is understood that the next

picture will be a light society drama.

      While admitting that she is to do another picture for

Chaplin she as emphatically denied rumors which have been

trickling in from San Francisco, where she has been

visiting for months, that she is engaged to or married to Charles Crocker, son of William H. Crocker, and one of the

social and financial lights of San Francisco.“

      Harry Crocker is a nephew of William Henry Crocker,

      president of Crocker National Bank. In Chaplin‘s

      The Circus he appears as Rex, Tight Rope Walker. He is

     also assistant director.

      And Edna Purviance will not return to the screen

      under the direction of Charlie Chaplin.

     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.
