& JAUNTY VAGRANT OF BIG TOPS IS

      CHAPLIN IN „THE CIRCUS“

      That gay little figure who has brought so much frolicsome

joy into the world by way of the screen trudges through

the world of canvas tents in his new highroad of pleasant adventure,

„The Circus,“ which unloaded its cargo of lions and

elephants, ponies and monkeys, bearded women, acrobatic

performers and others of merry-making propensities

at Grauman‘s Chinese Theater Friday evening. Sid Grauman

has staged one of his special prologues, Poodles

Hanneford featured. Sketches below are by A. L. Ewing,

Times staff artist.

      Drawing by A. L. Ewing. „CHARLIE CHAPLIN PROVES

      AGAIN THAT HE SHINES IN CALAMITY‘

      „It was a gay gala night for Hollywood when Chaplin‘s

Circus opened at the Chinese Theater – and a love

of a picture. Charlie proves that again he shines in calamity,

for he must have made this picture under considerable

emotional stress.

      But it did make us a bit breathless when Fred Niblo

introduced us to a new trinity – ,God, Santa Claus

and Charlie Chaplin.‘ He said he meant no correverence,

for Charlie was supreme at spreading wholesome

laughter through the world. All the same the same, I doubt

whether it was discreet for Charlie to be allowed

to hear this supercompliment...

      Because... oh, well, because Charlie was capable

of giving us a signed photograph of himself on the

programs, which certainly conveyed the idea that he was tall,

handsome and young!“

      Grauman‘s Chinese Theater, 6925 Hollywood Blvd., L. A.

      The Circus is released by United

      Artists in New York January 6, 1928.
