      (Exclusive Dispatch)

      NEW YORK, Aug. 22. – The Gold Rush has come

to Broadway and even after packing the Strand

Theater to capacity eight times a day, people are turned away.

The house resounds with loud gusts of laughter

and everyone who is interested in pictures is urged by those

who have seen it to be sure to see this one. And yet

no one is willing to agree that this is Chaplin‘s best or even

approaching his best achievement. It is a long and

sometimes dull picture with a few priceless moments.“ (...)

      „Among the spectators there were several

people who had attended the opening in Los Angeles

and it was their verdict that the New York audience

was restrained in its enthusiasm, at least, though it was more

demonstrative than audiences here usually are

over pictures.“ (...)

      The Gold Rush opens June 26, 1925

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

      The Gold Rush opens August 15, 1925

      at Strand Theatre, B‘way at 47th St., New York.
