COLUMBIA-"The Gold Rush"

Charlie Chaplin's long heralded
dramatic comedy of the Alaskan gold
rush days, THE Gold Rush. which
some critics have hailed as his real
screen masterpiece, is announced by
Loew's Columbia Theater this week
beginning this afternoon.
1t was written and directed by
Charlie himself. who also enacts the
classic of love, tears and laughter that
offers Chaplin one of the richest fun
making opportunities of his career and
frequently lapses into gripping drama
tear-compelling pathos and sparkling
romance.
Georgia Hale is the leading woman
of the cast, which also includes Mack
Swain, Tom Murray and other finished
fun-makers.
Chaplain is pictured as lonely
tenderfoot in battered derby, bamboo
cane and baggy trousers who worships
in silence the divinity who rules over
the mining camp dance hall almost
unaware of his existence. He makes
bid for fortune with the rest and by
a prank of Fate he is swept into a
series Of dramatic adventures that
bring him, almost against his will
into possession of a fortune that
means nothing without the girl he
adores.
A mere outline of the story itself
however, is utterly inadequate to con
vey it's fine points.
Director Brusilof of the Columbia
Orchestra has arranged a musical EN-
Enlistment for the picture.

she encountered her first opportunity
to make bid for stellar fame.
When Mildred Davis, the present

of adding feminine charm to the LLOYD

H. B. Warner's Career

HENRY BYRON WARNER, star of
Max MARGINS melodrama "Si-
lence, is the son of Charles Warner,
who was one of the most distin-
gulshed figures on the English stage
during the seventies and eighties.
He was destined for the stage from
the cradle and was given his first
opportunity in his fathers company
while still a small boy. During his
public school preparation for oxford
he was drilled during all the yaca-
ton period by the elder Warner. and
when he finally left the university
he was coached for more than a year
in number of -Shakespearean roles
III which he never appeared in public.
His first appearance on the stage
as young man was as Il member OF
his fathers company. Within a few
months he was playing ARMS TO his
fathers D'Artagnan in The Three
MusketeerS. Within another year
he was looked upon as one of the most
promising juveniles in the English
theater and became associated with
Arthur Boucher. He was surely
mounting TO position of great i'm
portance on the London stage when
George c. Tyler engaged him to

MARGIN the Playwright

IF, on a certain Summer night about
IL years ago. a certain young man
had not shot Stanford White on the
Madison Square roof garden, there is
just the possibility that Max MARGIN.
the author of Silence" now being
played by H. B. Warner, might at the
present moment be either a round
shouldered copy reader or an editor on
a New York newspaper.
On that Summer night he happened
to be the star reporter on the now
defunct New York Press, and he was
sent out of the office on the run the
moment news of the tragedy came
over the wire. From the moment that
he dropped down to the street in the
elevator until Thaw was consigned to
the Matteawan Asylum after his two
historic trials this particular case was
Mr.. MARGINS sole assignment. 1t led
him into a new style Of living and it
produced in him more than any other
one thing that discomfort which is the
wellspring of ambition.
And SO it came to pass that MARGIN
took to the writing of short stories.
He cannot remember the exact details
of his first, but he does recall that it
he had once covered. A week later
MARGIN got a check for $500 and a
curt note which requested him to
please sign the Enclosed receipt" So
he wrote another story and got an
other check and then third and still
another 5000. Finally the editor sent
for him and put him under contract
to write a dozen stories at $3.50 apiece.
He got leave of absence from the
paper, lit out for Nantucket Island
and never came back-that is, to the
paper.
He finished the IL stories he had
contracted for in less than three
months and found himself developing
really amazing faculty. His yarns
were largely adventurous, with some
thing happening every so words or so.
and they made an instantaneous hit
with the editors Of the more popular
