„We‘re going to see City Lights or bust“

      ,Help!‘ cry ticket takers at Geo. M. Cohan Theatre, N. Y.

      Thousands rushing, surging, jamming, cramming,

standing, waiting, – all with one thought in mind – ,We‘re going

to see City Lights or bust‘ – and nobody busts.

      More than 55,000 people passed the ticket takers

in five days. No wonder they holler ,Help!‘

      Rain, snow, and cops mean nothing. If it pours, they

wait in line; if it snows, they don‘t notice it – and if the cops try

to hold ‘em, they break right through.

      What a picture!! What an attraction! Experienced

showmen are watching the Cohan Theatre run with speechless amazement.

      It‘s the topic of the day throughout the entire industry,

and –

      United Artists are almost as busy as the Cohan Theatre

ticket takers listening to propositions.

      Everybody wants this One!“ (...)
