„That‘s the combo that spells profit“
Editorial content. „Currently, the Fifth Ave. Playhouse...
is presenting five of these riotously funny productions... – ,The
Vagabond,‘ ,The Adventurer,‘ ,The Immigrant,‘ ,The Cure,‘,
,The Count,‘ and ,Easy Street‘ –... under the label: ,The Charlie
Chaplin Festival‘... Present distributor is Guaranteed
Pictures Co., headed by Mort Sikawitt and Sam Goldstein...
The Festival is also on tap at the Little Theater,
Newark, and the Cinema, Detroit... and debuts shortly at the
Studio, Chicago, and Fine Arts, Boston... which means
that it will be played simultaneously in five top cities... because,
the way biz is going, there isn‘t a ghost of a chance
of its leaving the first three stands... before the Chi. and Beantown
runs get going... Three salient facts we‘d like to pass
along: (1) Festival is rolling ‘em in the aisles; (2) The Charlie
of 1916-17 is still potent box-office... and (3) Don‘t be
deceived, Mr. Exhib., if the stands mentioned smack of the
,arty,‘ for the Festival is just as okay... for the ,smellies‘
and the ,smooties‘... That‘s the combo that spells profit...“
