      Drawing. „,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.
