& Charlie and Sidney Chaplin with Ballet Dancers,
Orpheum, Los Angeles, circa 1925
& He‘s only twenty-two years old, is Adrian. But already he has made
a reputation for himself on Broadway and in the movies.

& When Norma Talmadge‘s picture „Kiki“ has its initial
showing at the Million Dollar, Los Angeles, it will start off on a
regular grind instead of a premiere. It is said that since
Milton Feld left the house no one has been found who can
produce atmospheric prologs for the pictures coming
into the Million Dollar, always known as a prolog house. At the
last minute for the showing of the Chaplin picture,
„The Gold Rush,“ a ballet was obtained from one of the local
schools and a few singers added to it, with no pretense
made to carry atmosphere for the picture. It is said, due to this
type of entertainment, returns at the box office for the
Chaplin run was very disappointing.

& Then came Mae Murray, demanding his services, followed by
Mrs. Rudolph Valentino ordering clothes for „The
Hooded Falcon“ (which clothes are still on the wardrobe
shelves, since Rudolph has not yet made this picture),
and Sid Grauman asking for bizarre creations for the prolog of
„The Gold Rush.“ So striking was Adrian‘s work on
the prolog that the morning after the opening, five studios
made him offers!
(...) Motion Picture, May 1926
& With the Chaplin picture, „The Gold Rush,“ opening
at the Million Dollar this week, there will be no prolog. Guy
Eyssel, house manager, figures that as the „Gold
Rush“ had been shown at Grauman‘s Egypt with a prolog,
it will be impossible for his house to endeavor to
put on a similar one with this picture, so he departed from
the prolog idea and is using feature music as the
picture‘s embellishments.

& Prologue for „Gold Rush“ Los Angeles – „The Northern Lights
Ballet“ is being staged by Ernest Belcher as the
prologue for „The Gold Rush,“ now playing at the Million Dollar.
In the cast are Harvey Karles, Luella Lee and
Sherry Louise Marshall.
(...) Film Daily, May 10, 1926
& Chaplin‘s „Gold Rush,“ at the Million Dollar, proved
a poor pick for second week, and tumbled hard in gross. Had
this picture had a prolog to back it up there is no doubt
that the gross for the first two weeks would have been increased
by at least $8,000. A ballet used for atmosphere did not
seem to satisfy at all.

„Last week it got $27,100“
Editorial content. „L. A. Houses Hold Pace;
Met $31,500; State $23,400
Gold Rush Up to $27,100“ (...)
„Next in line for gross was Grauman‘s Egyptian with
Chaplin‘s The Gold Rush. Capacity every night, with business
jumping a bit above the figure of the week before.“ (...)
„Estimates for Last Week.“ (...)
„Grauman‘s Egyptian – The Gold Rush (U. A.)
(1.800; .50–1,50) The longer this picture runs, more money
house seems to draw. Last week it got $27,100.“ (...)
