„His first visit in 10 years“
Editorial content. „Two-Reelers Mulled By Chaplin
Has Two Features in Mind, but Does Not Contemplate
Appearance in Either One
Charles Chaplin would like to make two-reel slapstick
comedies. At a press conference Sunday, the comedian-producer
said he had no definite plans along those lines but that
he had been giving the idea some consideration.
The younger generation, Chaplin admitted, doesn‘t know
him and two-reelers might be a way of re-introducing
himself to the younger people and, at the same time, help
to stimulate interest in short subjects.
Chaplin slipped quietly into New York Saturday
for his first visit in 10 years in connection with tonight‘s world
premiere of The Great Dictator and held an informal
interview with the press Sunday afternoon at the Waldorf.
Chaplin said he had two other features in mind, one
of which was Regency and the other was The White Russian.
It is not likely that he will appear in either, but he would
be the producer.“
The Great Dictator world premiere is in New York Oct. 15, 1940
at the Capitol and Astor Theatres.
Capitol Theatre, 1645 Broadway (at 51st Street), New York.
Astor Theatre, 1531 Broadway (at 45th Street), New York.
