Lita Grey in The Kid Scene

„This will include Lita Grey, Chaplin‘s new leading lady“

Editorial content. „Charlie Chaplin Flits

      Charlie Chaplin says that the weather certainly April

fooled him, as he had to wait until April o get snow

for his Northwest comedy which gently satirizes the goldrush

of ’98 to Alaska. The Chaplin company has gone

to summit to make the snow scenes. Under the guidance

of Eddie Sutherland, a crew of twenty-five carpenters,

electricians and property man are on location for the building

of sets and living quarters for the company.

      The actual scenes will be filmed about fifteen miles

through the snows from any habitation, and cabins

will be erected to house the players, technicians and property

men, who will number in all about 100.

      The comedian is going to have all the comforts of home,

however, as his personal chef and house staff, butler

and assistants will be in charge of the culinary department.

      The remainder of the company will leave in a few

days. This will include Lita Grey, Chaplin‘s new leading lady,

and her mother, Mack Swain, Chuck Reisner, Henry

Bergman, Tom Murray, Sourdough Jim, and a number of extra

people for character atmosphere, besides cameramen

and other technicians.

      The company will be on location for more than

a month as one of the most important sequences of the comedy

takes place in snow fastnesses of the frozen north.“
