"THE BIG BROADCAST OF 1936"

CHAPLIN'S NEW FILM

The London Premiere

1.

London, Jan, 20.

I am able to state that, after a

number of delays and disappoint-

ments, the dute of Charlie Chap- lin's new picture, "Modern Times,” has at last been definitely axec,

writes a correspondent.

A print is to leave New York on the Berengarla to-day, and the first pubilc showing will be at the Tivoll at 8.45 en the evening of February 11.

The picture has been long and eagerly awaited-Chaplin has made nothing since "City Lights," shown at the Dominion Theatre

four years ago-and there is sure

to be a heavy demand for seats. Special prices will be charged on

the first night-probably from 58.

or Is. 6d. up to £1 18.
