      „,The Gold Rush‘ IS TITLE OF

      NEW CHAPLIN COMEDY

      Announcement is made from the Charles Chaplin

studio that The Gold Rush will be the title of the

forthcoming Chaplin comedy, work on which has been

begun and for which the star producer is now

preparing his story.

      The story will be a Chaplin story of the days of the

,Forty-niners,‘ when the world went mad for the

muck called gold. Chaplin himself will again don the

baggy breeches, the old shoes and the faithful

derby, and from all reports from those ,in the know‘

the story as being outlined will present the

comedy genius in the funniest role he has ever attempted

in what he intends shall be his most uproarious film.

      This will be Chaplin‘s first comedy release for United

Artists Corporation, and present plans are

to have The Gold Rush completed about February 1st.“
