& Two First National Releases
The First National Exhibitors‘ Circuit will release two
pictures during October. One will be „The Panther
Woman“ with Mme. Petrova, her fifth picture to be distributed
by that organization and the second will be Charlie
Chaplin in his second First National comedy, „Shoulder
Arms.“
(...) Wid‘s Daily, Sept. 26, 1918
& The zenith of Mme. Petrova‘s cross-country tour on behalf
of the War Savings Stamp drive was the visit paid
to the Chaplin studios in Hollywood, where he watched the
comedian make a scene in his second comedy,
„Shoulder Arms.“
It was only a small scene, hardly thirty feet on the screen,
but the energy and the care the comedian took with
every detail opened the eyes of Mme. Petrova, who watched
with interest every move made by the one and
only Chaplin.
The privilege of watching Charlie Chaplin at work was
appreciated by Mme. Petrova, for it had been
her desire for years to see Charlie rehearse and act
a comedy scene.
„Mr. Chaplin is not only the greatest artist of the screen,
but he is one of the greatest artists of the dramatic
world,“ said madame at the close of her visit, „and it was
he who converted me from a feeling of hostility
toward the films to a realization of their great possibilities.
A Chaplin comedy that i saw by chance aroused
my enthusiasm for moving pictures.“ After paying Charlie
this high compliment Mme. Petrova stepped to him
and placed a rose on his coat, saying: „It is only one of your
vocation who can appreciate the wealth of brain
and talent that enters into your work and the marvelous
facility you display in registering your ideas.“
A few years ago Mme. Petrova was a performer under
the management of Fred Karno, the well known
English producer, who also was the one who first starred
Charlie Chaplin in the new famous „Night in an
English Music Hall.“

A gown like this can be worn by only one woman in the
world – Petrova. Absent from the screen for a long time,
Madame Olga has been touring in vaudeville. The svelte figure
you see here was partly responsible for the stage success
in „Panthea“ and other plays.

& Chaplin and Petrova Meet at Los Angeles
A few years ago Mme. Olga Petrova and Charles Chaplin
were stage players under the management of Fred
Karno, the English producer. Today they are stars of the first
magnitude and appear under the same banner – that
of the First National Exhibitors‘ Circuit.
These facts were recalled vividly on the occasion of
Mme. Petrova‘s visit to Los Angeles during her nation-wide tour
in behalf of War Savings Stamps – recalled by both the
stars and their friends, for the two were brought together at the
Chaplin studio, where the Polish star watched the comedian
enact a scene for his next subject, „Shoulder Arms.“
„Mr. Chaplin is not only the greatest artist of the screen,
but he is one of the greatest artists of the dramatic
world,“ said Madame Petrova at the close of her visit. „It was
largely he who converted me from a feeling of hostility
towards the films to a realization of their great possibilities.“
