      New York, Oct. 16. – Charlie Chaplin arrived at the

climax of a remarkable career here Monday night

when he displayed his latest movie, The Great Dictator,

before glamorous audiences in two theatres – the

Astor and the Capitol – and revealed for the first time all of what

he has been up to behind locked studio gates for the

last two years.“ (...)

      „If The Great Dictator helps shape a part of history beyond

the world of the theater, then at least half a dozen

sober-minded people who saw it tonight will not be startled.“
