„It will have a tongue-in-cheek note“
Editorial content. „Coincidental
Charles Chaplin‘s The Great Dictator, in which the
characters have been so obviously modeled after Europe‘s Axis
buddies, will not beer the usual ,Characters in this film
are purely fictional. Any similarity between them and persons
living or dead is purely coincidental.‘ – Instead it will
have a tongue-in-cheek note that any resemblance between
the two characters Chaplin plays, the Dictator and the
Jewish barber, is coincidental.“

at the Capitol and Astor Theatres.
