„When the Double Cross troopers catch up with him“

Editorial content. „,The Great Dictator‘ – Chaplin Version

      Charlie Chaplin, as the ,Great Dictator,‘ speaks –

with expression.“ (...)

      „It looks too bad for Charlie Chaplin, who, in the role of the

Ghetto barber, has incurred the wrath of the ,Great

Dictator,‘ when the Double Cross troopers catch up with him.

Above, it looks like a first-class lynching, but Charlie

has two lives – and two roles in his new film.“

      The Great Dictator world premiere is in New York Oct. 15, 1940

      at the Capitol and Astor Theatres.

      Capitol Theatre, 1645 Broadway (at 51st Street), New York.
