No matter what the Navy

Los ANGELES, CAL, Jan. BIZ
A school girls dream Of romance
and happiness with the most
famous clown in the world, Charlie
Chaplin, was seemingly at an end
today when it was learned that
attorneys representing Lita Grey
Chaplin, his bride of two months
after a colorless romance, were
trying to effect financial agree
ment between the film star and
his girl-wife.
Edwin McMufray, well known
San Francisco lawyer. and Uncle
of Mrs. Chaplin, now in Los An
geles, was quoted today as admit
ting that financial negotiations
were in progress between Chaplin
and his bride. but denied that the
negotiations were the forerunners
of separation or divorce. AT
the same time all efforts to reach
the comedian or Mrs. Chaplin
proved futile.
Nothing to Say.
McMurray said Mrs. Chaplin had
nothing to say and Chaplin was Sc.
cluded but just where his servants
would not disclose.
Speculation was also rife today
with the report Of the financial
negotiations.
Just what would be their effect
on the situation of a baby expected
to be born to Mrs: Chaplin, who
made the announcement a few
weeks ago that she would become a
mother, was subject for conjec-
