vC* i I FNE OF THE MOST NOTABLE FILMS IN YEARS "His is one of the most beautiful per¬ formances ever put on film." -TIME Magazine "Chaplin's performance is the best piece of playing I have ever seen." "The film is high among the great works of this century." -James Agee, The Nation 00 ^' w YY$ $ 0 $ mbo' "REMEMBER ALWAYS THAT ALL A SHOWMAN HAS TO DO TO PACK HIS THEA¬ TRE IS TO LET THE CUSTOMERS KNOW HE'S GOT A NEW CHAPLIN PICTURE FOR THEM TO LOOK AT." —Motion Picture Herald "It's wonderful. Appraised simply as a boxoffice attrac¬ tion, it promises to equal or exceed anything Charles Chaplin has ever turned out. Any exhibitor with a long memory knows what that means in cash revenue. As an artistic achievement, it is amazing." — Boxoffice "A boxoffice commodity of stature. Star-producer-direc- tor-writer Chaplin calls his picture a 'comedy of murder' and the phrase fits. Gener¬ ates audience laughter in vol¬ ume. Immensely amusing. The Chaplin craftsmanship is in evidence throughout the pic¬ ture." — Motion Picture Herald "Broad comedy—with deft touches of satire and with fundamental theatrical busi¬ ness that ranges from the mere lifting of an eyebrow to the fundamental pratfall. As it makes merry with basic comedy, so should it make merry in the monetary sense. — The Film Daily * * These important comments on the Chaplin performance and the great entertainment qualities of the film have been presented here in such a way that you can enlarge the quotations for a striking 40x60 lobby display in advance of your run.

"The Chaplin name still has a touch of boxoffice magic in it and his tongue-in-the-cheek interpretation of a character who combines a sentimental tenderness with an utterly ruthless pursuit of homicide is one of the top portrayals of his career." — Daily Variety Page Three
