Now playing in Zane Grey‘s „Code of the West,“
this charming little lady commenced
as a film flapper in „Cytherea,“ afterwards graduating into a high comedy society baby-vamp in „My Wife and I.“

Editorial content. „Moving Pictures
AMID the thumping tympana of the press agentry and
heraldry, Charlie Chaplin has broken over a year‘s
silence with a hobo excursion into the Far North. An earnest,
if ogling, first night group crowded into the Strand
last Saturday to witness an early Sabbath morning presentation
of The Gold Rush. They ogled well into Sunday
as celebrity on celebrity cluttered through the great doors
and abandonedly paraded the aisles. So mighty
was the crush of the famed that some of them were forced
to enter the theatre two or three times to insure
recognition. The silver-haired ,Charlot‘ himself appeared
somewhere in between appearances and
pleasantly fought his way up front to check up on the laughter,
tears, and applause which the first-night group
so generously is known to bestow (being a supersensitive
and kindly professional group). Finally, Mr. Will
Rogers having entered (unrecognized) near Miss Constance
Bennett, (unrecognized), and one spectator having
announced loudly that he was many sails to the wind, the
group was exhorted to find its seats and away
went the performance.
THE Gold Rush‘ is termed, for the sake of the paradox,
it s presumed, ,a dramatic comedy.‘ Wherein lies
some unhappiness. For alas! Chaplin has taken this mystic
formula seriously and not produced his best.“ (...)
„We cannot help but recall with a tinge of sadness,
the old days when the custard was young.“ (...)
