      „LISTEN FOR THE LAUGHTER WHEN ,THE PILGRIM‘

HITS THE ASOR“ was the euphonious and effective

slogan used by that St. Paul theatre before installation of this

front and the engagement of Charles Chaplin‘s First

National attraction. The front is easily the best we have seen

on this production. It is worthy of direct adaption.

„He‘s doing a Chaplin“

Editorial content. „HE‘S off again! Who? Arthur S. Kane.

All trains look alike to the Big Chief of Associated

Exhibitors. He‘s doing a Chaplin. Listen. Charlie shuts

his eyes in The Pilgrim and picks out a Texas town

on the train bulletin. Arthur S., just back from a business trip

through the corn belt of ,these United States‘ (as the

political speakers have it), hopped off a Pullman the other day,

dashed into the station, shut his eyes, and picked out

a time-table marked Florida. He leaves the 17th for southern

lands and waters – to be gone a month or more.

No business to be transacted. Just a vacation. Oh, yes,

Cuba and Bermuda will be included.“
