SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1925 CINEMA A \TTRA CTIC SHOTGUN COMEDY ONE OF BRIGHT SPOTS IN ‘GOLD AUSH, AMERICA Unusually Terrifying Muzzle Made Charlie Chaplin; Comedian Holds Interest, Funny by Life History of There is nothing particu! amusing about a double-bar shotgun in Itself, yet this weapen plays an important part in the droll- ery of Charlie Chaplin's drama, “The Gold Rush,” America theater. The efforts of Charlie, in the role of the Lone Prospector, to he 2 | away from the muzzle when Black Larsen, played by Tom Murray, and Big Jim McKay, portrayed t ck Swain, are engaged in deadly com bat, is regarded by many as one of the funniest scenes of the picture. The shotgun again plays an im- portant part when the Lone Pros. pector and McKay are stormbound | in a cabin and the latter, maddened by hunger, seeks to slay his com- panion. It has been said that to combine comedy and pathos in a film produc- tion and not destroy the of the audience requires great artist. One of the most touching scenes is where Chaplin prepares what to a ja him is a banquet, but really is a pitiful attempt at an els rate din- ner, to entertain Georgia, the dan hall girl, and her friends. His guests fail to arrive and it gradually dawns on him that they do not intend to come and that he is the victim of a ghastly joke. So much has been said of the gen- ius of Chaplin and his early disccv- ery, that it may not comes amiss to relate, as from one who has been close.to him, something concerning his discovery. As a matter of absolute fact, Ch Me Chaplin’ was discovered by children of all the world. He not broke when he entered motion pictures—a young man ‘just over twenty years old.» Instead, he had several thousand dollars, a consid erable sum for a young actor. Be sides, he had been well known in| England and America as a juvenile | omedian for several years. It i well to bear in mind that he was recognized by shrewd theatrical men at that early age. Another fact, not generally known —Chaplin was the biggest man on the comedy lot from the time he made his first comedy. Mack Swain the giant comedian, called the “fun- niest villain’ for his portrayal of Big Jim McKay in “The Gold Rush,” wag one of the first men to appear with Chaplin in that seemingly. long- har- | the ago period. From no less authority than Swain comes the statement that rile Chaplin, from the very first divined and went beyond what xpected of him. Within a short ume from his entry into pictures, directory complained to the power that-be that Chaplin wanted his ow way and would not “take direction.” It was great talent trying to assert iself, to climb out of the embryo into je uniform of the greatest actor in | the world. He was conscious of ability in his soul, the great talent ever is, m Charlie's greatest problem in his early picture days was his struggle with the comedy makers to allew him to portray his parts and ideas ashe felt them, He fought to rear the baggy trousers and the battered hat, He wanted from the first to ingtall ideas, humor characterization into his work. When, after much effort, he was allowed to do this he was | dren fc him i him. They 2 crowned And within eighte world-fa on a year, soon greeted was mill!

Instead, he goes about stat- ing his own deviltry quite frankly, and finds that his scheming brain can create as devastating effects as a machine gun. “I am nothing {f not states this Hector Kindon, rubbing his hands together gleefully.
