& Charlie Chaplin has been working up in the snows

at Summit, Cal., in the High Sierras making

      (Photo. Charlie Chaplin Photo. Lita Grey)

scenes for his burlesque on the early Klondike gold rush.

He and his leading lady, Lita Grey, that pretty

Spanish girl, descendant of the Spanish dons of southern

California, went skiing every day.

      Just a Bit Awkward.

      But, of course, Lita‘s mamma, being a firm believer

in the old Spanish traditions, always went along.

This was sometimes a little awkward, because mamma

didn‘t care of skiing. But she rode in a sleigh close

beside them when possible. Some people say that she

had a pair of opera glasses along. Not that this

pair need any chaperoning, because they are just like

kids.

      „Charlie knew me when I was a little girl and

always treats me just as if I were still a little girl,“ explained

Lita one day.“

& CHAPLIN‘S „GOLD RUSH“ IN OCT.

      Charles Chaplin is taking his time about

finishing „The Gold Rush,“ with no definite date as to its

initial release.

      It‘s now the belief at this end that Chaplin‘s picture

will be ready for Broadway early in October.

„If he can help it“

Editorial content. „CHAPLIN‘S $2 TOP

      ,Gold Rush‘ May Be First Road-

      Showed

      All sails are being set to show the new Charlie Chaplin

picture, The Gold Rush, as a $2 road show.

      Charlie‘s film at the $2 top seems to have sprung from

himself, according to the story received from the

west. Charlie had one slam at Broadway, but he was not

in the picture. It was directed by him, with Edna

Purviance as the principal woman, in A Woman of Paris.

      Chaplin has heard Harold Lloyd‘s picture,

Girl Shy, played the Strand, New York, for three weeks

and broke all previous house records, hauling

down about $127,000 for the period. Chaplin isn‘t going

to let Harold run away with everything, if he can

help it.

      As the title indicates, The Gold Rush is a story of the

early days of the Klondike.“
