Charlie Chaplin in „Modern Times“ Still

(...) New Theatre Cover, Oct. 1935

& THE ONLY PERSON so far as I know to get a look

at Charlie Chaplin‘s picture, „Modern Times,“

is Arthur Jarratt, who came 6,000 miles to see the Chaplin

film. Mr. Jarratt, who is the head of British

Gaumont Pictures, says he is sworn to secrecy, but he did

say the picture is not 100 per cent silent. There

are voices heard and music, and in his opinion it‘s the best

comedy Chaplin has ever made. He has already

booked it for London.

„The fondest, kindest, most doting father“

Editorial content. „PAPA Chaplin

      IT TOOK CHARLIE FIVE YEARS TO RECOGNIZE

      AND LOVE HIS SONS

      By HARRY LANG

      THERE comes now from Hollywood a story stranger than

the majority of odd tales which originate in that odd city

of oddities. And it concerns a man who is concededly one of its strangest and most unconventional inhabitants.

      It‘s a story of Charlie Chaplin. A story of the metamorphosis

of Charlie Chaplin from a man who, for years, unnaturally

ignored – aye, apparently even resented – his two sons, into

probably the fondest, kindest, most doting father Hollywood

has ever know.“ (...)

     Modern Times world premiere will be in New York

      Feb. 5, 1936 at the Rivoli Theatre.

      Rivoli Theatre, Broadway at 49th Street, New York.
