& „Georgia“

Chaplin has many clever ideas in The Gold Rush.

But one – which will doubtless be copied

by many producers – is the manner in which he refers

to „Georgia“ – the girl Charlie falls in love with.

Whenever she is introduced there appears but a single

line on the screen. „Georgia.“ Nothing more.

And it works amazingly well. This, however, was the one

touch to the titles which was worth while.

As a rule they were of the old fashioned type.

„Inside a tenor sang some number“

Editorial content. „Monte Carlo Dance Hall

      Prolog to Gold Rush – 4 Mins.; Full Stage

      Strand, New York

      A simple, but atmospheric staging and bit precedes

the Chaplin Gold Rush at the Strand, It‘s the interior of a

mining dance hall, with a blank front that fades into

the interior of the dancing place and returns again to close

the scene. The fadeaways worked out into a novelty.

      Inside a tenor sang some number, and any number could

be sung, while as many persons as an exhibitor

might care to pay for could compose the dance hall crowd,

dancing furiously for the fading finale.

      Opening, a male straggler walks across the stage,

peering into the dance hall through a knothole.

      A recommendation for this prolog is its brevity and

inexpensiveness, since no more than it gives

is required.                                                            Sime.“
