& The Orpheum Theater on State Street in the heart
of Chicago presents some interesting studies
in advertising and publicity practice. One feature of the house
is the big lobby banner, new every day. It has
become one of the institutions of State Street and it catches
the eyes of thousands every hour. This picture
was taken at the first run showing of „The Greater Woman,“
Marjorie Rambeau‘s first Powell-Mutual production.

& The publicity men seldom get their picture in the paper
except when they change jobs or die – so just for
a change, here is the up-and-coming United Artists gang,
including publicity and exploitation men for
Chaplin, Pickford, Fairbanks and United Artists: Curtis Melnitz,
Harry Brand, Charles E. Moyer, dir. of pub. and
adv., Mark Larkin, Snowdon Summers; (front row) Nathan S.

United Artists was well represented in the loop
with three features. „The Gold Rush“ at the Orpheum, „Don Q“
at the Roosevelt and „Sally of the Sawdust“ playing
a second run at the Randolph. All three held up remarkably
well considering the houses and length of runs.
The Chaplin feature fell off somewhat on its second week,
but still held the biggest receipts on the history
of the house. (...)

Doing best business in loop as far as capacity is concerned.
With small capacity again hung up record for this
house with $14,000.

& RECORDS FALL
Charlie Chaplin‘s „The Gold Rush“ is still
young but it has already gathered to itself more
records than are usually found in the career of a picture
a year old. For instance: (...)
At the 800 seat Orpheum, Chicago, is exceeded
by $5,000 the best business of the seventeen year old house,
grossing $19,829,08.
(...) Exhibitor‘s Trade Review, Sept. 12, 1925
„With shows running as late as 2 a. m.“

„Showing Chaplin Film as Long as There Is Line“ (...)
„The Gold Rush, which opened at the Orpheum,
also drew some trade away.
The Chaplin feature, in its initial appearance here, established
a record that will never be equalled by any other
feature at this house considering the small capacity of the
theatre. The Orpheum seats 776 and with a 50 cent
top weekdays, with a tilt to 75 cents for Saturday and Sunday,
the house turned in close to $20,000. Two days during
the week the crowds were still waiting in line at 12 midnight,
The house is opening at 8:30 a. m. and closes when
the costumers cease coming in droves. It has been held open
as late as 2 o‘clock in the morning. This being the last
feature to play the Orpheum under the J. L. & S. banner it is
expected to turn in the biggest net profit of any picture
that has played the house during it many years of operation.“ (...)
„Orpheum – Gold Rush (U. A.) (776; 50–75). One
of the strongest box office attractions that ever played this
house. Close to $20,000 in its opening week, with
shows running as late as 2 a. m.“ (...)
