      WORLD LAUGH

(...) Los Angeles Evening Express, Feb. 27, 1928

„This is absolutely a lemon“

Editorial content. „What The Picture Did For Me“ (...)

      „The Circus: Charlie Chaplin – 75%.“ (Average daily

gross of picture reported is divided by average daily

gross of picture holding house  record to determine relative box

office value in terms of percentage.) „If this is Chaplin‘s

best I would hate to take a look at his worst, this is absolutely

a lemon, the poorest thing I have seen in many a month.

If you can buy it for thirty-five dollars and sell it for thirty-five cents

to the public it might please. But don‘t play it as a big

special because it isn‘t there. – B. R. Parsons, State theatre,

Springfield, Minn. – General patronage.“
