But there was no car waiting to

Charlie Chaplin Hopes To Be
AReoI Racquet Star

HOLLYWOOD. Sept. 29.-What
a gallery this tennis match should
draw! Charlie Chaplin and Gill
bert Roland are planning to play
as doubles partners in the motion
picture tournament to be held
soon on the Ambassador courts.
Charlie has suddenly become so
excited over tennis that studio
attaches are worried for fear he
will postpone the start Of his
picture.
The comedian is giving a big
party at the Trocadero Cafe to
intoduce the visiting players at
the Pacific Southwest tournament
to hts Hollywood friends. The
gray-haired king Of pantomime
has been to watch these matches
every day.
And here's an amusing story
about that. Charlie forgot and
made a trip to the oculist the
other day before attending the
tournament. He arrived with his
eyes so affected by belladonns
that the men on the court looked
only like ghosts flying through
the air.
1T reminds me of the time the
King of England invited me to
an aviation meet" the comedian
laughingly told friends. II had
an attack Of lumbago and couldn't
look into the sky"
But Charlie will have no bella
donna in his eyes when he and
Fred Perry, England's ace, meet
George Lott and Gilbert Roland
on the comedians private court.
