Lita Grey appearing in her only scene from 'The Gold Rush'

Lita Grey appearing in her only scene shot in the Chaplin Studios for The Gold Rush before her sudden pregnancy and marriage to Chaplin. The daily continuity report for Saturday, 22nd March 1924 describes the scene the following way:
Scene 14: Close-up. Dissolve. C. asleep in kitchen on couch. Lita standing over him with cake–awakens him–he sits up–she sits down beside him–smiles–takes berry–gives it to him–he turns forward–eats it–smiles–she takes another berry–starts to give it to him. She says: Close you eyes and open your mouth. He does so and she throws whole cake in his face and laughs. C. takes cake off–face all smeared with cream–Fade out and fade into close-up of cabin with C. asleep in cot–blanket over body but not on head–snow on neck and face–snow drops down from roof five times–he wakes up then sits up–and looks around room–brushes snow off–gets up–comes forward left of camera. O. K.
