      BERLIN, Jan. 8. – Charlie Chaplin‘s „The Gold Rush“

has been banned by order of the propaganda

ministry. It was shown in Germany in 1926, when it scored

a triumphant success, Today it was announced that

„after reexamination by the censor it was ordered that the

permit granted in 1926 be canceled.“ No official

explanation was given, but film circles surmise that since

Chaplin is believed to be of Jewish extraction it was

banned as a part of the anti-Jewish campaign.

      „The Gold Rush“ Barred as Being Contrary

      to Nazi Philosophy. (...)

      BERLIN, Jan. 8 (London Times Dispatch). – Charlie

Chaplin‘s film „The Gold Rush,“ which has been

shown here intermittently since 1926, at last has been banned

by an order from Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, Minister

of Propaganda. It was officially explained „the film does not

coincide with world philosophy of the present day

in Germany.“

      The absence in recent years of any new Chaplin film has

spared the National Socialist government the

embarrassment of deciding whether it should ban the film

star‘s pictures from the German screen because

he is Jewish.

      „The Gold Rush,“ which had an enormous success

in Germany in 1926, has been showing at a number

of small theatres specializing in the revival of famous films.

Chaplin received an enthusiastic reception when

he visited Berlin in 1931.
