„What a revolutionary step I am taking“

Editorial content. „,Public Opinion‘ Allied Release

      First Serious Chaplin Production

      Is New Departure in Construction

      Following the receipt of its copyright registration in play

form, Charles Chaplin yesterday announced that

the title of his first serious motion picture production

would be Public Opinion.“ (...)

      In speaking of the picture, Chaplin says:

      ,I believe that Public Opinion will be the most important

work of my career and no one realizes more than

I what a revolutionary step I am taking in adhering to the

original style of construction which I am using.

      ,There have been a number of queries as to whether

I intend to act in the picture or not. I am not going

to act in it not from any policy but because in the story as I

truthfully see it, there is no place for my character. 

And i am rather glad there isn‘t because the story is something

that I wish say without its being stunted by injecting

my own character into it.‘

      Playing opposite Edna Purviance, who is being launched

on her starring in Public Opinion, is Adolphe Menjou.“ (...)

      The definite title of Chaplin‘s film is A Woman of Paris

      (in France L'Opinion publique).
