„Up goes the b. o. receipts“
Editorial content. „CHICAGO
Variety‘s Chicago Office, Majestic Theatre Bldg.
Mark Vance, in charge“
„McVICKER‘S (J. O. Burch, mgr.; agent, Loew). – Bill of
the usual vaudeville run, interesting for the
most part. Show appeared to give money‘s worth.“ (...)
„Outside the lobby had special signs calling
attention to the exhbition within of the Charles Chaplin
feature, Police. This picture unquestionably
helped business from Monday night on. Chicago is
mighty sweet on Chaplin, and any time word
is flashed that a Chaplin is on up goes the b. o. receipts.“
