Edwin Schallert, Los Angeles Times, L. A., Cal., Sept. 27, 1923.

At the Criterion Theatre, Los Angeles, Director Horne

used cow-girl ushers, who also doubled in a street bally, to let the

town know that his theatre had Metro‘s „The Great Divide.“

& Harold Horne, managing director of the Criterion Theatre,

Los Angeles, staged a simple but most effective prolog

when he played Universal‘s „The Last Laugh.“ The scene showed

the hotel front and the pompous doorman on duty.

„One of the big events of the year“

Editorial content. „CHAPLIN OPENS NEW EPOCH

      ,Woman of Paris,‘ Sophisticated Picture of the Year,

      Distinguishes Opening of Criterion

      BY EDWIN SCHALLERT

      The caviar of picture entertainment – that is Charlie

      Chaplin‘s ,Woman of Paris.‘ It is the sophisticated

      film drama of the year. It is so full of novelty and subtlety

      that it will perhaps open a new epoch for the

      photoplay technician, and intrigue and maybe delight

      the taste jaded by too much routine.

      A Woman of Paris opened last night at the Criterion

Theater. The usual madness that distinguishes

a premiere was increased. The production was the first

screened under the new two-a-day policy of

the house, and a de luxe scale of prices prevailed.“ (...)

      „Altogether, Chaplin‘s A Woman of Paris

is going to to prove one of the big events of the year

in a community that is as picture-wise as

Los Angeles.“ (...)

      Criterion, 642 South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles.
