„Applause greeted the end of the picture at this performance“

Editorial content. „S. R. O. Sign Hung Out for

      Chaplin By End of 1st Day

      Modern Times, first Chaplin picture in five years,

went S. R. O. at the Rivoli last night after an opening morning

and afternoon of substantial but not sellout business.“ (...)

      „At 7.30 o‘clock the orchestra was full and standees totaled

to 25. The balcony was peopled to capacity and a steady

stream was applying at the street box-office for

admittance. Between 7.50 and 8.10 P. M. roughly 400 tickets

at 99 cents each were sold across this box-office.

      At 9.20 P. M. there was a break in the show. At that time

the Rivoli was packed with 300 standees in the rear of

the orchestra and a waiting throng gracing the stairs leading

from the lounge to the upper balcony. Applause greeted

the end of the picture at this performance.“ (...)

      S. R. O., Standing Room Only.

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

      at the Rivoli Theatre.

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