In the beginning, all Chaplin knew was that the setting
for his next movie would be the 1898 gold rush, so he began construction
on a set recreating the "frozen north" on his studio
backlot. The set would take months to complete and required 239,577
feet of lumber, 200 tons of plaster, 22,750 feet of chicken wire,
22,000 feet of burlap, 100 barrels of flour and 285 tons of salt
which served as "snow."
