(...) Variety, Dec. 10, 1910

& Three scenes from Joseph Plunkett‘s presentation

and prologue to the Paramount picture, The Swan,

recently shown at the Mark Strand Theatre, New York City.

The simple design was highly effective with the lighting

treatment given it. The scene opened in darkness; lights were

gradually brought up, revealing the front of the setting.

The change came, with lights in front dimming down as the lights

back of the set were brought up full, revealing a group

of dancers garbed in the picturesque costumes of the picture

production. A song followed, with a big finale

where the guests came from the ball room and witnessed

a love scene of The Swan.

      „A review in Variety July 1, last, on Chaplin‘s Gold Rush

went into an ecstatic rave over this comedy drama,

both as comedy and a drama, It may have impressed friends

of Chaplin´s on the coast to that degree, but as shown

at the Strand, New York, it does not live up to the rave from

the west.“ (...)
