for an hour and I got rid of him only
after breaking into tears and begging
for mercy.
"The next morning two of them
were awaiting for me just outside
the house and I managed to outrun
them and escape. Two others came
here to the office that day and talk

attempted to use rubber hose on me
to make me confess.

bothered me before, tried to work on
my sense of pride. He showed me
how frightful my old car was. He con
WINGED me that I was placing the
lives of the members of my family
in jeopardy every time the engine
turned over. He showed me where I
was losing vast amount of money
by running the car. And he made me
ashamed to be seen in it in the day
time. Since that time I have run the
car only at night, and even then with
the dim lights on.
"I grew accustomed to the sales
men. They would jump out at me
like these bootblacks that hurl them
selves at you as you pass on the street.

behind my chair in the living room.
He pounced on me as soon as I sat

me outside my front door. There
were so many cars lined up there that
my home looked like the Country Club.
I dashed back in the house and Slam

and there were two more statesmen
there. They had slipped in through

to believe Will Rogers, there is but one genius
in all Hollywood. His name. of course, is
Charles Spencer Chaplin.
Certainly there is no man or woman in all
Hollywood who can arouse the enthusiasm
and shoot up the blood pressure of the whole
world as can our Charlie In this respect he
has but one rival "a rodent called Mickey.
Where Lupe and Johnnie staged their latest
fracas or Carlo dined may be of tremendous
interest to you and me and our cousins in
Oshkosh but when Chaplin decides to make
new picture it becomes matter for inter
national discussion - and inCidentally a
new picture is scheduled to be released from
the Chaplin lot this fall But Chaplin pictures
have been postponed before = and may be
again.
When will the Chaplin picture be fin
ished?" cabled an impatient gentleman from
Spain when the news that Chaplin was
working got about.

Every stray piece of news that seeps
through the studio walls is seized upon and
devoured by the world. When misinformed
columist sprayed forth the news that this
time Chaplin would talk, the studio was
bombarded with messages from France,
protests from Japan, reproaches from Eng
land and letter from gentleman in Joplin,
Missouri who wrote, by Cod Charlie you
talk and I'll go out there myself and knock
Jour damn block off,
Charlie no talk
His determination to remain silent In pic

colorful, haphazard production methods of the
past. however For some reason Charlie seems
to have become alarmingly civilized in his
methods. Strange new things are happening
on that four acre lot. For instance, for the
first time in his eighteen years of independent
producing. Charlie is working from script.
A complete synopsis, written out.
Relegated to a fantastic past are those
long. weary weeks during which two or three
hundred extras patiently sat about day after
day waiting for Mr.. Chaplin to get in the
mood for work. while expenses mounted and
mounted. No more are heard the strains of
soul stirring music issuing from the Chaplin

The Chaplin staff they have
been with him for many years
to normal Hollywood studio. One morning
Mr.. Chaplin may arrive at the studio at ten
and be seized with mood that sends him off
to his dressing room alone or fills him with a
desire to cut film till four in the afternoon
while the entire studio sits and waits
At four, he may emerge from his hiding.
Things suddenly take on the aspect of a
tornado in full bloom and proceed at whirl-
wind pace till two in the morning. The next
day shooting may begin at ten and cease at
noon. or just never begin at all. 1t all depends
on the Chaplin moods. Or what he inlagines is
business at hand.
Certainly his business is all encompassing.
A Chaplin picture by no means consists of
just that bit of high class pantomiming we see
on the screen. A Chaplin picture is Chaplins
picture complete from head to toe = make
no mistake about that. A Chaplin picture
means story conceived and perfected in the
Chaplin mind down to the last detail, sets
drawn by Chaplin. costumes designed by
Chaplin, direction by Chaplin, camera work
under Chaplins supervision and the music
which accompanies the picture composed and
synchronized by Chaplin.
Whence comes the idea for Chaplin pic
