CHARLIE CHAPLIN BASHFUL

No one in the film colony of Holly
wood was surprised at all when they
heard the news from Memphis, Tenn,
that Charlie Chaplin contemplated
abandoning his Liberty Bond Cam
palgn tour on account of stage fright.
The screen self of Charlie probably
appears before as many people as any
star in filmdom, but Charles stage
self gets weak kneed panic stricken
and speechless every time this bril-
liant comedian appears before an
audience.
There is no funnier person in the
world than Chaplin in the secluston OF
his own studio or before a few of his
friends, but before strangers he has
the shrinking violet looking like q full
bloom Kansas sunfiower for bashful-
ness. When he is with Doug Fair
banks before an audience he is more
at home, because he has som ebody he
knows to work with. but thrust him
out before crowd of people with no
friendly hand near by. and Charlie is
not himself, He fights it off as best
he can, but his fear of the public con-
quers.
If you want to see Charlie Chaplin
at his best you should catch him
