New York had the contract to ap
pear in pictures at the Keystone
studios, Los Angeles. That was
in 1914, before Hollywood was the
big movie center.
"When got the contract" Charlie
tells us, II Immediately began to
attend every picture show where
Keystone comedies were being
shown.

Normand leaping about on the edges

Charlie hadn't heard Of the "dou-
ble"-the stars standby-so he gath
cred that Kessel and Baumann had
mistaken his stage falls for unusual
acrobatic ability.
Very gently, in his first chat with
Mack Sennett, he brought In the sub
ject of these high and hair-raising
stunts. Mack explained that dou-
BILE always did these scenes. Charlie
said "Ohl seew But he hadn't the
remotest idea, even then, what a
double was.
So when Mack Sennett generously
said, "Oh, no, you won't have to do
those,' Charlie lied bravely but
ventured, "Well, I'll try"
So then began long career Of
two-reelers, of which we can re-
call one, TITLES Punctured Ro-
nance"
In 1917 he startled the world by
getting q million-dollar contract to
produce eight pictures for the First
National Exhibitors. Among these
everybody will remember "a Dogs
Life" "Shoulder Arms" 1.-THE Kid"
and PAY Day."
He later built his own studio in
which he directed and produced "a
Woman of Paris" which brought
forth two great stars. Edna Purvi-
ance and Adolph Menjou. but In
which he did not appear in person.
"The Gold Rush." 'The Circus"
and "City Lights" have been made
on this lot and are considered by
many, his greatest characterizations.

Charlie. "By all means, go into the

that imagination into giving a good
portrayal of the part you have to

highly interesting as well as a lu-
crative field of endeavor, which may
be why l am prejudiced.
"But," said Charlie in parting:
Success In the movies demands

With anxious fingers she opened
her bag and found a little mirror.

looked back at her. There was not
a wrinkle to be seen in the soft con-
tours of her white face. She was
glad she was still young. She
hadn't felt old.

In his initial attempt to enter the
studio he was already In possession
of contract, but the gateman didn't
recognize him. This, in conjunction
with q well-nursed fear Of leaping
from tall buildings and bridges to
terrifying depths below, nearly re-
suited In Charles doing an about
face and returning to vaudeville.
However, Mack Sennett caught
him in time and he got in.
For which the whole wide world,
we think, is duly thankful.
Charlie was born Of theatrical
parents. His father, Charles Chap
lin, was a famous protean actor of
Continental Europe. His mother
played In many of the Gilbert and
Sullivan productions under the
stage name of Lily Harley.
1t was natural that with such a
start in life and an early boyhood
spent in the atmosphere of the stage
that Charlie should, at seven, have
the part of ''Billy, the page boy"
in William Gillette's sherlock
Holmes"
He later toured Europe with a
juvenile troupe, and when twenty
years old, arrived In America with
an act that Immediately obtained
vaudeville bookings on practically
every circuit in the country. Many
will probably remember the ''drunk'

Hail." ..-
While the act was playing to up
roariously enthusiastic audiences at
the Nixon theater in Philadelphia, a
telegram came from Kessel and Bau-
man, asking him to come to New
York for an audience regarding his
appearance In Keystone comedies.

Wall Street was little dazed

It got its bearings pretty we'll

the market made a good showing,

Stocks act as though they are

a bull tip on securities by pre-
dieting a sharp and rapid re-
covery after the dollar is
stabilized.
Smart people are going over
the bond list again, with special
attention to high grades that have
fallen sharply.
Second grade bonds also are
coming into greater favor on the
