[edit] Disambiguation

I think that a "Gold Rush" disambiguation page should be created, as I suspect that many users of the Wikipedia search "Gold Rush" looking for the "Klondike Gold Rush." Anybody else agree? (Yes, I know that there is a link for the Klondike Gold Rush page at the bottom of the article.)--66.188.221.60 03:10, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

There is one already: Gold rush (disambiguation). You can find it if you type in just "gold rush" instead of "the gold rush". Perhaps you have a point, though - I'll add it to this article. Esn 17:38, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Film projection speed

An unregistered editor, rather than deleting or changing disputed content, simply put a strikethrough through it. This violates WP:MOS. Looking at the paragraph, which is uncited, I chose to remove it completely and place it here pending citation and correction (if the struckthrough material was incorrect). 23skidoo 13:24, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Since the film was originally shot at 18 frames per second, the sound version, shown at 24 frames per second, is both shorter and faster than the original silent screenings. This has the side effect of making Chaplin's slapstick routines appear more frantic than before, a fact that had probably influenced Chaplin's decision to shoot Modern Times at silent speed. By the mid-1920s, projection speeds had unofficially standardized far closer to 24 frames per second than the somewhat slower speeds common in the late-1910s. Chaplin and his crew knew that and shot appropriately. It is true that Chaplin chose to shoot some scenes for Modern Times slower than 24 fps, so that those scenes would appear to move faster when projected at 24 fps. But those kinds of variable speed shooting choices were a common fact of virtually all Chaplin films.

Using data from the United States Treasury, the stated $4,250,001 pulled in by "The Gold Rush" would be worth about $48,000,000 in 2006 dollars. Please confirm and add as necessary.
