& MAX IS BACK!

      THE famous little French comedian is in America again,

making new pictures at the Goldwyn studios.

Linder‘s return to the screen is the more remarkable in view

of the fact that he was incapacitated for a long time

of injuries received in the war, and has worked his way back

to health and humor. His latest portrait proves

his complete recovery.

„He was a man without fear“

Editorial content. „NOTES WRITTEN ON THE SCREEN“ (...)

      „NO news that has come from the seat of the great war

has affected the picture-loving public more than the

reports that Max Linder, the Pathe comedian, was killed

in the battle of the Aigne. Though one of the highest

salaried men on the stage, still under 30 years of age, with

everything to live for, when the call came to fight,

like the hundreds of thousands of his fellow-countrymen,

rich and poor, famous and humble, the great

comedian dropped his work and entered the ranks.

It is told that he cam to the Pathe studio

in Vincennes, clad his uniform and ready for service,

to say a last good-bye. When hopes were

expressed that he would return he shrugged his shoulders

and replied, ,I am a fatalist. What is to be will

be. When I am to die I will die, whether on the battlefield

or in my bed at home.‘ That expresses his

philosophy which was apparent in his work in pictures.

He never hesitated to take a chance, whether

in an aeroplane, automobile, or bull ring. He was a man

without fear.“ (...)

      Max Linder did not die in the First World War.
