„Extreme simplicity, naturalness and sincerity“

Editorial content. „Chaplin Picture Gets First Page

      London Editors Print Laudatory Reviews on ,A Woman

      of Paris‘

      Certain proof of Charles Chapin‘s importance in the world

at large is found in cabled reviews of his first serious

dramatic film, A Woman of Paris, which dominated first page

space in several London newspapers. Chaplin‘s

directorial genius as revealed in this United Artists Corporation

release was considered by the British editors as

having international significance, so much so that it was given exceptional display on the first page of the London

Daily Express of October 3rd. The clippings were received

in Chicago by Mr. Chaplin, then on route to the Coast

to begin work on his first feature length comedy for United

Artists.

      The Express story carried boldletter headlines which

said: ,Charles Chaplin as Pioneer. Success of a ,natural‘ Film

Olay.‘ The story was a special cable despatch by the

Express‘ New York correspondent, and carried a digest of

the New York opening reviews on A Woman of Paris,

all of them highly favorable, and printed in large body type.

The story closed with the following editorial comment

in somewhat smaller type:

      ,The new methods adopted by Charles Chaplin as

producer were first described by the Daily Express cinema

correspondent on September 20. The photoplay has

been with extreme simplicity, naturalness and sincerity. The

situations are abnormal, but the people in them are

severely normal. Settings, lightings and photography follow

the same plan. Everything is regulated as it would

appear to an eavesdropper and an unseen prompter,‘

      Another first page story in London on A Woman of Paris

was in the Sunday Express of September 30, in which

the correspondent gave his impressions of the film in very

profound verbiage.“ 

      Tivoli, 65-70½ Strand (at John Adams Street), London.

      The Gold Rush opens Sept. 14, 1925.
