CHARLIE CHAPLIN
 DELUGED WITH
 SCENARIOS

Charles Chaplin is suffering from that is.
 Since he prepared to make addi- tional laugh dispensers for Associated First National he. has been deluged by scenarios from General Public, in fact he has been literally swamped by them. And now he earnestly begs his admirers and others who aspire to gain author fame to please desist from sending him their efforts.
 During the past four weeks there have been received at the Chaplin studio fourteen hundred and sixty four manuscripts ranging from one and a half to seventy-eight pages in length. They came from a fisher man in Astoria. Oregon; school teachers in Birmingham, Ala; in- mates of Sing Sing at Ossining, N. Y., and every other conceivable spot on the globe. The type of stories covers every imaginable subject. One little school tot would have Charlie play the role of a school teacher. A political shevik role in burlesque in the hope that it might allow those who advo- cate dynamite for walking sticks to see the errors of their ways.
 As Chaplin writes his own scenar- jos, and conceives all his own com edy situations, he does not wish to receive manuscripts from anyone, even skilled writers. According to the comedian he received no less than fifty scripts after Shoulder Arms" was released in which sol diers, trenches and guns played an important part.

CLYDE COOK CLAIMS
 HE WAS BORN IN
 "SAW MILL

"You see, I was born in a saw mill" explained Clyde Cook. the con- tortionist comedian, now engaged in making special comedies. He was talking to a Los Angeles reporter, who had been watching the funny man filming one of his pictures.
 "Born in a sawmill? That's odd" remarked the reporter.
 Nothing strange" Cook replied. "A great many people are born in the sawmills in Australia, where l come from-thousands of them."
 Then Jack Blystone, director. who has knocked about the world a bit. explained that in Australia a lumber camp is called a "sawmill' and that Cook meant he was born in a lumber camp.

PETITE VIOLA
 CREATES NEW DANCE

Petite Viola Dana, the popular Metro star. has invented a new dance that promises to eclipse many of the popular jazz steps in general favor. In her latest picture Home Stuff adapt ed to the screen from the story by Frank DaZey and Agnes Johnston she does what she designated as the 'tbarn-yard wiggle wobble."
