pulling power of Charlie Chaplin‘s first $1,000,000 that
has come to light is furnished in a statement from the First
National Exhibitors´ Circuit to the effect that A Dog‘s

„Mr. Talley says that he originally thought of putting
on A Dog‘s Life for two weeks, but at the end of the
first fortnight he found that the box office receipts were steadily
increasing as the word-of-mouth advertising of enthusiastic
fans began to get in its effect.

produced in less than five reels.“ (...)
