Since the serious trend world conditions have taken, he has been besieged with requests to re-issue “Shoulder Arms,” which many a soldier in the World War often said gave him courage to go on lighting. Charlie s answer was not “Shoulder Arms” but “The Great Dictator.” People complain these days about their movie fare, rebelling against stories of futility, heartache, disappointment, frustration. Charlie is remedying all this in ‘‘The Great Dictator,” and anyone who sees the noted comedian's latest comedy will be certain to leave the theatre refreshed by the memory oi an evening of hilarious fun such as only the genius of Chaplin can produce.
