Exhausted, Says Attorney.

Announcement of Chaplin's indis-
position was given reporters who
gathered at the Offices of United
Artists Corporation this morning.
Chaplin was scheduled to give a Sec
ond levee for newspaper men, at
which he was to answer questions
about the divorce suit brought by
his wife, Mrs. Lita Gray Chaplin.
Instead of the comedian the re-
porters met Burkan, representing
Chaplin in his 100000 suit against
the Picturial Review for damages al
legged to have been sustained through
articles and advertisements.
Mr. Chaplin is worn out and ex-
hausted," Burkan said. "He can't
see any one today"
Burkan did not disclose the name
of the specialist who, he said, had
ordered Chaplin to bed. Kelly said
Chaplin was a great artist and, like
all great artists, could not work
when upset. Both agreed that Chap
lin had been talking too much" and
that the third version of his life
would be made public only in answer
TO the other two-that by his wife
in legal documents and that by Jim
Tully, hobo author, in magazine
articles.
COllapses Under Ordeal
Chaplin, Burkan said, was stricken
suddenly this morning. During the
night the comedian had attended the
performance of a revue. Chaplin col

Then he recuperated. The nerve spe-
cialist was summoned, Burkan said
and ordered Chaplin to bed He is at
BurkanS Fifth avenue home.
Chaplin" Burkan said, 'is of a

affairs have played havoc with his
nerves. 1t seemed that this morning
he felt all the impact of the blow that
had fallen on him, and he succumbed
to it.
