An Armful Of Tribute To her own and another‘s success.
Into the arms laden with flowers just given
Marlene Dietrich upon her arrival in London during
the Paramount star‘s recent trip, came
this youthful „Charlie Chaplin,“ to greet her at the station.

„Such sincerity“
Editorial content. „Broken Barriers
Sounds like the title of an old thriller!
But it‘s only the thing that‘s going on today in the world
of entertainment.
The lure of Hollywood for stage stars, and the call
of New York for Hollywoodians is having a tremendous effect –
and one that will make itself felt in every hamlet
that boasts a movie house.“ (...)
„Howard Hughes worked four years on Hell‘s Angels.
Charlie Chaplin has spent two years in making City Lights.
Such sincerity of purpose arises out of a conviction
of permanence, a standard of tradition, an ideal of worthy
artistry. It would not be fair to give credit for this
change of heart to the stage stars who have invaded
Hollywood, but certainly the dropping of the
barriers which kept the movies outside the pale of what
was considered true theater has given the impetus
to this kind of confidence and assurance.
And surely, the entry in a whole-hearted way, of the
world‘s greatest stage stars into the world of films
has done much to break down these barriers.
Paul C. Hunter, Publisher.“
Photo. „After all these years a Chaplin film! Charlie,
as he appears in City Lights, which was two years in the
making.“
