CHAPLIN DIVORCE
COSTS COMEDIAN
TWO MILLION Ms
Marital Freedom Comes
High For Leading Man
of Film World.
BY DAN CAMPBELL
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 23.-Charlie
Chaplin s latest bill for divorce will
cost the famous comedian more
than 100000 it was estimated
here today.
The last item in list of costs
which resulted from the interlocu-
tory decree of divorce obtained by
Lita Grey Chaplin yesterday will
be fixed at a hearing today on re-
ceivers' fees.
In comparison to the settlement
made upon Mildred Harris, which
did not total more than $150,000,
his latest divorce appears as stag
gering sum.
Itemized the 'bill for divorce
is as follows: Property settlement
$625,000; children trust fund
100000; receivers fees $4,000;
temporary alimony approximately
$4,000; Mrs. Chaplin bill during
separation $4,000; court costs
$4,000; interest on deferred pro-
perty settlement, $1,000; and
Sl,OOO month for maintenance OF
the children until the trust fund is
established. No estimate can be
made of the loss which resulted from
hating production ON 'The Cir
Gus" Chaplin's latest picture.
Mrs. Chaplin, it is understood
will receive $4,000 at once with
the rest of the settlement to be paid
over three year period. Two pay
ments of 100000 each will be made
with a final payment of $4,000. In.

III January of this year and recently
an action for divorce was filed by
the husband. A dismissal, however,
followed, the trouble apparently
being patched up but about week
ago the husband again filed suit
for divorce. Yesterday Mrs. Brown
filed an action seeking separate
maintenance.
The husband in his complaint
charged the defendant with being
cruel. He said that she had treated
linn like a child and hurled insin-
uating remarks against the members
of his family. He further charged
that she at one time told him the
p"nitentiarv was the only thing that
kept her from getting a gun and

serve the law.
The cabaret and night club men,
meeting yesterday picked three of
their number to confer within a day
or two with f. c. Yellowley, Federal

any suggestions or advice he may
have that will aid them in enforce
ment.
A banquet. TO obtain funds for an
other test case before the Supreme

felt that the courts action in retuS-
ing to review paddock case carried
up from Chicago left the exact status
still unsettled.

Court refused a writ of certiorari was
an appeal from Chicago padlockings
which were made on observation

taken whenever it is indicated that
action is necessary.
