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.
