The Gold Rush Clippings 65/363

Ernst Lubitsch, who will direct three specials
for Warner Brothers, is evidently going in strong for research.
The camera catches him at a busy moment safely
intrenched behind his barricade. „The Marriage Circle“ is his
current Warner classic for the screen.

& A group of „insiders“ of the industry
were discussing the relative financial returns now enjoyed
by film stars. (...) Chaplin is taking his time and
not worrying particularly about immediate profit. But, just the
same time, „The Woman of Paris,“ which was
supposed to lack popular appeal, has already brought in close
to seven hundred thousand and will easily go the million
mark. It was an inexpensive production, as the players worked
for much under their usual salaries in order to get the
opportunity with Chaplin. Menjou was the highest-salaried, and
he only took five hundred a week. Chaplin voluntarily
gave Edna Purviance a percentage of the profits in recognition
for her long service as his leading woman.

„So many comparable points“
Editorial content. „PICTURES AND PEOPLE“ (...)
„WE predicted some time ago that the treatment of pictures
by suggestion – with thorough concentration
upon achieving natural effects in incident, detail and
interpretation would soon be engaging imaginative
directors. We made this statement after witnessing Chaplin‘s
A Woman of Paris. The German director, Ernst
Lubitsch, is the first to profit by simple, direct methods
with The Marriage Circle.
We are assuming that he has seen the Chaplin picture
– because it has so many comparable points.“ (...)
„A perfectly rounded story – one that kept the New York
Strand audiences constantly alert, drinking in its
capricious moods and shadings. The screen becomes
a true medium of light comedy here.“
