& Just to be a little original, a New York theater manager

decided to present „The Gold Rush“ a little before

midnight last August. Hence, the critics, after their day‘s work,

had to get down to business at the witching hour.

Mr. Chaplin, looking spry and cheerful, was greeted by

everybody who could get near him as he walked

down the aisle. It was one of those occasions that cling

to one‘s memory. Fortunately, the writers did not

have to go back that night to give their impressions of the picture.
