      GENIUS OF CHAPLIN FLAMES ANEW IN TELLING
      SATIRICAL THRUST AT DICTATORS: STAR IN SUPERB

      DEMONSTRATION OF HIS VARIED TALENTS.

      The genius of Charles Chaplin Flamed anew on the screen

of Broadway‘s Astor and Capitol theaters last night in a

picture which runs the histrionic scale from broadest slapstick

to deftest satire, from brilliant pantomime to articulate

dramatics, from sensitive romance to profound emotionalism.

      Written, directed, played and produced by Chaplin,

The Great Dictator, gives a dual world premiere before two

smart audiences, is a superb example of his varied

talents when they are concentrated upon the providing of

sheer entertainment.“ (...)

      at the Capitol and Astor Theatres.

      Capitol Theatre, 1645 Broadway (at 51st Street), New York.
