„A satire upon gold seekers“

Editorial content. „Chaplin‘s Travesty –

      The Gold Rush

      Charlie Chaplin produced The Gold Rush, according

to his own statement, as a satire upon gold seekers, Alaska

adventures and Far North writers, especially Rex Beach.

      Even the killing by one bandit of two Northwestern Mounted Policemen is in the line of satire, according to Chaplin,

though assuredly not based upon fact, with the possibilities

unlimited among the N. W. M. P. if The Gold Rush

is exhibited at Banff.

      Notwithstanding Mr. Chaplin‘s intent, no audience at the

Strand thus far has caught up with his idea. To the public,

The Gold Rush is but another excuse for Chaplin film fun making.“

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

      The Gold Rush opens August 15, 1925
