l can't, that's all, he confessed.
The truth Of this is shown in his
bashfulness and Uneasiness during
an interview.
When l talked with him he was
without his little mustache, but wore
his costume and the big shoes. He
has worn the same shoes in all Of his
pictures and has a real affection for
them.

A cut on the bridge of his nose was

saTy to take several stitches and I

the scene, too. 1t makes one of those
serious little touches, you know"
And then, as the interview drew
near the end he said, with a signifi-
cant smile:
You know, there are hundreds of
people who knew me when I didn't
have a nickel-or who gave me my
start in life. The other day man
claimed he was the first person to
give me a glass Of champagne.

lowed my own desires I would have
done serious parts.
And now, having reached the pin
nacIe of success in comedy, he has
determined to appear in. a strong
dramatic role.

with one big, serious picture" he
stated. 81 like Hall Gaines story,

the gamUt of human emotion. If

Charlie Chaplin directs his own
pictures and does not use manu-
script. All the little effects that look
so spontaneous on the screen have
been carefully thought out and re-
hearsed again and again. He some
times works for days on a scene only
to sicken Of it and throw it out of the
picture.

Charlie is only 26 years old. He is
not married and lives at the Los An
geIes Athletic club, where he has a
magnificent library Of his own. After
a hard day at the studio he likes to
read or play the cello. He is an &C
cOmplished musician.
The baTrenness of his dressing
room at the studio cOntrasted with
the dressing quarters of less eminent
players is striking. He has no pic
lures or press clippings of himself in
the room and there is not a single
piece Of unnecessary furniture. But
what little he has is the most sump-
tUOus that money can buy.

SCHOOL UNFURLS
SEAL SALE FLAG.
Susquehanna Open Air Pupils
Given Banner For Selling
Most Red Gross Stamps

A large handsome silk flag, of
Pennsylvania, was presented to the
Susquehanna open air school, Fifth
and Seneca streets, yesterday after
noon by the Red Cross Christmas
seal committee. The flag was won
by the pupils of the school last win
ter in the campaign to sell Red Cross
Christmas seals. The Susquehanna
school sold 10, 100 seals and turned in
total amount collected of S101.
There were only forty three pupils
working which makes an average
sold by each pupil of 235 seals.
This is a record sale, and the COM
mittee is expecting the school not to
fall down on their job thissyear. Be-
cause of the increase of tuberculosis,
among the peoples of Europe, caused
by the privations of the war, there
will be more seals sold this winter
than at any other time.
The flag was presented by d. d.
Hammelbaugh, secretary of the
School Board and chairman of the
Red Cross Christmas seal commit
tee. Miss Marian c. Williams, the
teacher, accepted it in behalf of the
school. Short talks were also made
by Mrs. William Henderson, presi-
dent of the Civic Club, and John Nc
Candless, secretary of the Associated
Aid Societies. The flag was given to
the school at this time so that they
will have it when they move into
their new building next Monday.

assistant at the Susquehanna school

Another feature that came soon
