Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks were

among the bevy of moving picture stars who appeared

during the evening.    

(...) SOCIAL NOTES, Brooklyn Daily Eagle,

New York, May 26, 1918

„He is of far greater value as a gloom–chaser“

Editorial content. „Chaplin Finishes Liberty Bond Tour

      Addresses Meetings in New York – British Officer Makes

      Plan for Comedian‘s Retention on the Screen.

      RETURNING to New York from his tour of the South

on behalf of the Third Liberty Loan, Charlie Chaplin

completed his speaking engagement under the auspices of the

Treasury Department by appearing at several

big rallies in the city during the week of April 29.“ (...)

      „Chaplin also made a speech in the men‘s

restaurant of the Hotel Astor during the lunch hour on

Wednesday. He was introduced by Captain

Bealley, a British line officer now in this country recuperating

from the effects of wounds received on the Flanders Front.

      Captain Bealley told of the many times he and his

fellow-fighters had laughed away their troubles in the little

temporary theaters behind the trenches watching

,Charlie´s‘ antics on the screen.

      ,He made us laugh when it often seemed that nothing

else could,‘ Captain Bealley declared. ,And I for one

hope that the authorities will realize that he is of far greater value

as a gloom–chaser than as a fighter. In my opinion and

the opinion of thousands of others at the front it would be little

short of a calamity to cut short the output of Mr. Chaplin‘s

inimitable comedies.‘“
