„He read the Gross review of The Gold Rush“
Editorial content. „We Told You So – Maybe!
Some time ago the editor of this department wondered
(in print) why someone didn‘t sign Milt Gross, cartoonist
and author of Gross Exaggeration, to do titles and gags. And now, though there exists no connection between the two facts,
Mr. Gross is established at the Charles Spencer Chaplin comedy
emporium in Hollywood, busily working on the circus
picture to come from that source.
While Chaplin was in New York he read the Gross review
of The Gold Rush, a masterpiece of comic writing. This
led to a meeting, and the meeting led to an understanding that
Gross was to come to the Coast when summoned –
at a salary such as few newspaper writers hope to attain to.
An incident which may or may not be true, but
which is good regardless of that, is related by The New Yorker,
youngest of Manhattan‘s humorous weeklies. It seems
that Charlie Moyer, publicity and advertising chief of United
Artists, received a wire from Chaplin headquarters
saying: ,See Mark Cross at once stop tell him come to Hollywood
first train stop.‘
It so happened that there is a Mark Cross establishment
in New York, dealing in leather goods, and there Moyer
learned that Mark Cross had founded the firm in England in 1845,
but that his memory was lost in the company‘s archives.
But finally, after further interchange of wires, it came out that
,Mark Cross‘ was as near as someone or another had
gotten to ,Milt Gross.‘ Such is fame!“

The Gold Rush opens August 15, 1925
