„It was sufficient to fill every seat in the house“
Editorial content. „On the Screen
Mae Marsh and Charlie Chaplin are at the Strand this week
and it seemed as though 50,000 people saw them
ot attempted to see them yesterday afternoon. Of course, it may
have been only 5,000. We have no head for figures
and always envy those persons who can just say, off-hand,
,50,000 persons attended the ball game or the races.‘
But it was sufficient to fill every seat in the house at the first
performance, so that some of the people had to sit
in the boxes.“ (...)
