Novel Press Book on Chaplin
Special press material and exhibitors‘ aids are being
prepared by the publicity and supply departments
of the First National Exhibitors‘ Circuit for the exploitation
of the first of the new series of Charlie Chaplin
comedies, which will probably be ready soon after Easter.
In making a compilation of facts regarding
Chaplin‘s career for use in putting over his forthcoming
production, it has been discovered that the
$1,000,000 slapstick genius ranks third among those
personalities that have received mention in the
public press during the past two years. The Kaiser and
President Wilson both lead him in actual amount
of space, according to the estimation of the manager of a well
known clipping bureau, but the film star‘s face
is undoubtedly known to more people in various parts
of the globe.
It is also a noteworthy fact that Charlie Chaplin‘s unique
art has received attention from many of the most
intellectual critics both here and abroad. Some time ago
The New Republic published a lengthy essay
from the pen of Harvey J. O‘Higgins on Chaplin‘s screen
work. Mrs. Fiske also contributed an article to the
Century Magazine on the little comedian; Gilbert K. Chesterton
has written about him in the new Statesman of London;
McClure‘s Magazine ran the story of his life not long ago, and
Vachel Lindsay, the poet and photoplay commentator,
has devoted considerable attention to Chaplin in his books
and special articles on the screen.
Selections from his wealth of material will be utilized
in the new press book on A Dog‘s Life, it is said,
just to convince a few remaining skeptics that Charlie
Chaplin is a real celebrity in addition to being
the world‘s most successful buffoon.“
