Which merely means that Charlie Chaplin has come
back to town and the Rivoli, wherein will be held this
evening the premiere of the persistently wordless comedian‘s
latest picture, Modern Times, for which swank
New York and the Industry are due to turn out en masse.

& That WNEW broadcast from the premiere of the Charlie
Chaplin picture, „Modern Times,“ was pretty much
of a bust (8 to 9). So far as entertainment value, it had less
than a street hawker demonstrating a patent potato
peeler on Broadway. Just a lot of confusion and a number
of celebs, such as Belle Baker, Edward G. Robinson,
Irene Rich and Douglas Fairbanks Jr., uttering the usual blah
into the mike. It really wasn‘t the station‘s fault. Martin
Block, the announcer did a swell job, trying to keep the proceedings
alive. But it‘s about time stations realized that airings
of movie openings take top rank among the prize bores
of radio.

„No other star in Hollywood could do what he has done“
Editorial content. „Looking in on
Films to Come!
By Eric L. Ergenbright
Hollywood Editor of MOVIE CLASSIC
BEHIND guarded gates and barred doors at United
Artists, Charlie Chaplin is putting the finishing
touches on his new, non-talking picture, Modern Times –
which he wrote and directed, in which he plays
the principal rôle (with Paulette Goddard as his leading
lady), and for which he composed the incidental
music. No other star in Hollywood could do what he has
done on this picture. . . .“
Modern Times world premiere is in New York Feb. 5, 1936
at the Rivoli Theatre.
Rivoli Theatre, Broadway at 49th Street, New York.
