In this feature the famous comedian has departed from his usual practice in that he has produced a dramatic story of the hardships and romance of the famous Klondyke “Gold Rush” and into the true to life story introduced his own inimitable comedy stunts. He is supported by a east of several thousand miners, railway workers, and dance hall habitues. Chaplin ns down and out prospector at one moment keyed up with great expectations, and the next with hopes dashed to the ground, rises to heights of dramatic feting and comedy never before reckoned as within the great artist’s scope. Altogether “The Gold Kush” ranks as one of the greatest screen masterpieces to date. Popular prices 1/- and l/(i, children (id and !)d. Saturday: “Shadows of the East.” ROYAL PICTURES.
