OUT TO SEE A SILENT MAN WITH A DERBY

AND FUNNY SHOES

      BIG NAMES from Hollywood were jostled on the

sidewalk last night when a riot on Broadway greeted the opening

of Charlie Chaplin‘s latest silent movie.

& Gloria Swanson flashes her best Hollywood

smile and wears one of her smartest wraps. She is repaid

generously in a cheering reception from the

sidewalk crowds.

& Belle Baker, the throaty songbird of stage

and radio, says „hello and glad to be here“ when she is escorted

to the microphone by the announcer.

& Looking benign and anything but the tough guy

of the films, Edward G. Robinson squires the missus through

the gaping throngs. You are right, Mrs. Robinson took

an equal share of the applause.

„Some openings are different“

Editorial content. „Chaplin Gets All-American Opening;

      No Holds Barred“

      Photo. „The chief excitement on Broadway last night

centered outside and inside the Rivoli where ,Modern Times,‘

the first Chaplin feature in five years, had its premiere.“

      „By J. M. JeraulD

      Some openings are different. Last night‘s start of Charlie

Chaplin‘s Modern Times was one of these. The streets

were too slippery for the mounted police to get out, and the

walking cops couldn‘t get toe holds to push the crowds

back.“ (...)

      „Even the start of the newsreel of King George‘s funeral

couldn‘t get the crowd into its seats, but Mickey‘s Polo Team did.

That came close to being the Mount Everest of laughs

in Walt Disney‘s career.“

      Modern Times world premiere is in New York Feb. 5, 1936

      at the Rivoli Theatre.

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