& New Strand and Carmen Make Debut

      By Neil G. Caward

      Friday evening, October 15, 1915, will long be looked

back upon as a memorable date in Chicago‘s motion

picture history, for on that evening the New Strand Theater,

on Wabash avenue, threw wide its doors and

as a special feature of its initial program offered its patrons

Carmen, the Geraldine Farrar production on which

the Lasky Feature Play Company spent months of preparation

and many thousands of dollars. (...)

Editorial content. „AT THE STAGE DOOR

      BY GRACE KINGSLEY“ (...)

      „Now His Ghost.

      There appears to be no end to it. Charlie Chaplin is to be

exploited in a farce, entitled „Charlie on a Spree,“

with Willie Hicks, one of Charlie‘s most expert imitators,

in the leading role. The piece is to run in London.“
