Put a Real Kick In This Chaplin

      Most managers would feel they had done their full duty

by a picture when they built a 45 foot marquise

figure. That didn‘t content Bruce Fowler and publicity director

Charles Raymond, of the Royal Theatre, Kansas City.

They made a cutout of Chaplin and jointed his legs and arms,

then hooked up a motor to give motion to these members.

His coat carried announcement of The Gold Rush. It reached

out and grabbed the crowds.

& A cutout that helped to a ten day standout

      Playing „The Gold Rush“ at the Strand

Theatre, Far Rockaway, H. C. Thomas staked out

a claim for a Chaplin cutout on a vacant lot

across the theatre. That‘s the claim notice to the right of the

cutout. Work it on any good lot.

& The newsboy badge idea adapted to a small town

      John Scanlon, of the Alhambra Theatre,

Torrington, Conn., could not afford printed badges, so he painted

his own, and while the brush was wet he did a picture of

Chaplin, which is seen in the background. It brought him in the coin.

& A Denver pram on „The God Rush“ that sold sets

      The disc wheels on this perambulator for the

Victory Theatre, Denver, are twelve feet in diameter. It was drawn

by a tiny burro led by a Chaplin impersonator.The box

on the top is not laundry. It‘s supposed to be snow from Alaska.
