Persistent Rumors Denied
IF Charlie Chaplin were to busy him

IF Charlie Chaplin were to busy him
self denying the many rumors pub
lished. concerning him, he would have
little time left for producing COM
edies. Rumors which have emanated
from different sources, however. have
persisted to such an extent that a
denial from Chaplin is forthcoming
: That Chaplin will direct Mary Pick
ford in a production, a photoplay of
the London slums, will never ma
terialize. Charlie wants it known
that he is back in comedy, and will
continue to portray his famous char
acter of old, that which brought him
fame and fortune. He is his own di-
rector, and will always produce COM
edies for the masses. While Chap
lin unit for producing dramatic pho
toplays may be organized under his
supervision. Charlie will never desert
comedies to direct others, nor will he
appear in Shak espearean roles, as has
been so foolishly reported in the
press.
He is not engaged to Estelle Tay
Ior, as has been rumoTed, nor is he
engaged to any of the fair sex, Ia
nous or otherwise.
