& The revival of „The Great Dictator“ prompted

Gordon Carson of the Royal, Fort William, Ont., to use

a conversation between the actors to give

playdates and so forth.

      Come, Paulette, I understand the people of Fort William

are requesting a return showing of our „Great Dictator.“

      Yes Charlie, we‘re to be there Wed., Thurs. at the Royal

on their all request program, isn‘t that grand!

      DON‘T FORGET THE RED CROSS NEEDS YOUR HELP NOW.

& One thing alone comforts us in the general outlook,

and that is that Charlie Chaplin‘s projected picture continues

to come along, albeit as slowly, it sometimes seems,

as the French penetration of the Westwall. The latest

communiqué, which arrived last week, seemed as vague, yet

also as reassuring, as the last statement from the

French General Staff: „At 9 o‘clock this morning (Thursday,

Sept. 14) Charlie Chaplin retraced the footprints

engraved in the cement walk from his dressing room to the

stage, and thus signalized the actual start of camera

work on his new film, „Production No. 6.“ The footprints, made

by the famous shoes that Chaplin has worn in every

picture since the start of his career, were planted in the

cement many years ago. It has become a ritual for

the star to tread the same walk in the same way at the

beginning of every new picture.“ – As in reading

the headlines recording the progress of the French offensive,

we can only sigh and wonder if perhaps we are

not so impatient.
