Charlie Chaplin's move, the Gold Rush, was filmed in 1925. The Palisades at Sugar Bowl were used by extras from Sacramento to represent the Chilcoot Pass during the Klondike's gold rush in 1898. The whole set was built at Sugar Bowl. Due to Chaplin's flu and colds among the cast and crew the filming moved to Hollywood and another set. Almost all the footage from Sugar Bowl was replaced by Hollywood footage. To read more go to our August '11 Heirloom.
