STATE THEATRE
“THE GOLD RUSH.” Charlie Chaplin has reissued one of his greatest successes, “The Gold Rush,” with music and descriptive narrative, and the result of this venture, which will be seen at the State Theatre tonight, is to demonstrate to younger filmgoers that the great comedian was indeed great. From the moment when Charlie appears on a' mountain trail closely followed by a bear to that when he topples from the deck of a homeward bound steamer and is mistaken for a stowaway, the film has drama and humour; that blend of the sharply comic and the slightly wistful which has elevated Chaplin to the company of the world’s great clowns. Despite the lapse in time, “The Gold Rush” does not date much; set amidst the snows,‘it shows little of the passage of time save in the taste in heroines and that Chaplin's own narrative helps out the story. The supporting programme is extremely interesting. The usual matinee will be held on Saturday afternoon.
