„Ought to be enough for anybody, but it is no more“

      The long-awaited Charlie Chaplin picture, The Gold Rush,

is at last released.“ (...)

      „The scene in which Chaplin waits for the dance hall girls

to come to dinner is delicately played and it is moving,

but it is built upon too thin a premise and upon too unsympathetic

an incident, to afford the real heart-twist of The Kid

or Shoulder Arms.“ (...)

      „It is simply ten reels of very good Chaplin comedy, which

ought to be enough for anybody, but it is no more.

      Viewed as a picture, it meets a high standard.

As Chaplin‘s masterpiece, as the result of two years‘ work

touted as a supreme effort, it falls short. But it is

infinitely better than The Pilgrim or The Idle Class. – I. St. J.“

      I. St. J. is Ivan St. Johns.
