& WELL, the Chaplin film has taken the town by storm,
and Sydney Carroll predicts it will last well into
the cricket season. But the critics are by no means unanimous
about it. Carroll praises it because it is „more
than a comic film – it is a stern arraignment of our so-called
civilization.“ Lejeune objects that Chaplin is here
for the first time „less interested in precision of statement than
in the thing he has to say,“ and the New Statesman
that René Clair has done the same thing better. Graham Greene
– in our opinion the best movie critic in England –
says flatly in the Spectator that „Chaplin, whatever his political
convictions may be, is an artist, and not a propagandist“
and accepts „Modern Times“ as a work of the first rank. Few
object to the fact that it is a silent film. And the basic
facts remains that the Tivoli is packed all day. Chaplin is still
Chaplin. – SAMUEL JEAKE, JR.

& Chaplin‘s „Modern Times“ at the Tivoli, with a $200,000
guarantee, where it‘s likely to linger at least
12 weeks, is just about approximating $20,000, having
settled into its run, which is not enough.
Film‘s opening was claimed to be rather over $35,000.

„Laughtermakers are Chaplin at the Tivoli;
the Three Marx Brothers at Metro‘s Empire, and Harold
Lloyd at the Carlton.“ (...)
„Tivoli – Modern Times (UA) (4th wk.) Business
exceptionally good, although somewhat spasmodic. Teatime
not so hot, but with six shows daily, the Tivoli can
take plenty. First week was over $40,000. Has dropped
slightly, and is still doing near $25,000.
Bigger trade is expected with the coming Easter.“ (...)
