We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

ABOUT THE STORY T he Alaska of the days of the Klondike gold rush; the lone prospector; miners big and little and old and young; dance halls and dance hall girls and hang- erson; mining camp types of all sorts; assayers; ships’ officers and crews; incoming and outgoing passengers; newspaper correspondents and photographers—this is the locale and these the people pictured in Charlie Chaplin’s greatest of all comedies, “The Gold Rush.’’ Though a new note in comedy dramatics is sounded —in which the tragedies and heart breaks of man’s eternal struggle for happiness are made uproariously funny—there is, in addition, the Charlie Chaplin of old; the Chaplin of the little derby, the trick cane, the baggy trousers, the little mustache, sloppy shoes and waddling walk.
