WHAT MADE CHARLIE RUN?
Continued from preceding page

for the character he has created
and who identify Charlie" with
the artist who gave him birth.
It is always a shock, however,
when one meets Chaplin for the
first time. One is not prepared for
the grim features, the tight mouth,
the unsmiling face, the cold man.
ner. Very little physical resem-
blance indeed to the engaging
little tramp with the funny walk.

FRIENDS argue that Chaplin has
changed - that there was once
some resemblance to the warm
Charlie" of the screen. For a brief
period Chaplin seemed modest.
His fame puzzled him. Il can't
understand it. l am only a nickel
comedian trying to make people
laugh. And they act as though /
were king"
His modesty was of short dura-
ton. In l94l he refused the New
York Film Critics Award for his
performance in The Great Dicta-
tor" because it was not all-inclu-
sive: he wanted credit for the best
picture of the year as well.
He accepts royal treatment to-
day as if it were his due. Madame
Schiaparelli, in her recently pub
lished autobiography, Shocking
Life" describes a party held in his
honor by the Baron de Rede in
Paris. Chaplin, says Schiaparelli,
arrived and held court.
Every woman present was in
troduced and allowed a minute or
two of his transcendent presence,
then recalled. Another chosen one
would take her place. watched
with wonder"
Euxope's Learning
IT WAS too much for "Schiap" -
herself no member of the prole-
tariat. Il kept wishing that like
conjuror he would produce
bowler hat and a walking stick and
become his real self again -. For
the whole performance /. not only
belittled him, but even made him
open to ridicule." )"
Europe is beginning to discover
what many people in this country
have known for some time: that
Chaplin is not as amiable, as mod
est, as warm as the little fellow on
the screen. And that is the tragedy.
No man living has given so much
pleasure to 50 many millions. But,
by the same token, no artist in his
lifetime has been so much appre-
ciated or so highly rewarded -
and is so ungrateful.
1.-The is being excessively blamed,
he has also been excessively
praised. Both praise and blame
have gone to his head.
The real symbol of Chaplin's
downfall lies in his reputation of
Evening star., 1954-12-12

Of only $lOO. 600. The story is that
Mayer taxed Chaplin with his lack
of generosity. and the two came to
fisticuffs over the matter in a Los
Angeles hotel lobby - with Chap-
lin getting the worst Of it.
His second marriage = he was
IS and Lita Grey was is - had an
even more distasteful finish. In the
divorce proceedings, Lita Grey
charged Chaplin with saying that
he only married her to escape a
charge of statutory rape. Chaplin
fought for the custody of their two
sons, and lost. More criticism. and
a tightening of the lines around
Chaplin's mouth.
Paulette Goddard, Chaplin's
third wife, was not much older
than the Others, but more sophis-
ticated certainly. Why both she
and Chaplin chose to deny their
marriage - it is on the books and
so is their divorce must remain
a mystery. The ensuing and un-
necessary scandal cost Miss God
dard the coveted role Of Scarlett
OHara in Gone With the Wind"
Doubtless Chaplin was testing the
right of the great artist to defy
convention - and doing it this
time the safe way. But why did
Miss Goddard go along?
The Jean Barry Case
HE Joan Barry case was worst
of all, and here the Communist
press came to Chaplin's rescue.
The whole thing. according to the
Daily Worker, was a reactionary
frame-up of a great liberal. Miss
Barry's story a sordid one -
was not successfully denied, how
ever. She named Chaplin as the
father of her child born after
the affair was over and won the
case. It was all most humiliating
to Chaplin. who was then 54 and
engaged to be married to 18-year-
old Coma ONeill. daughter of
the famed American playwright,
Eugene O'Neill.
Oona stuck with Chaplin
through all Of the scandal. and
insisted on marrying him before
the case was decided.
Marriage DO Ooma
Is THEIR marriage a happy one?
1t has lasted IL years and Oona
has borne Chaplin FIVE children.
Recently there were rumors that
she was angered by his Commu-
mist affiliations. chafing in exile
and planning to return to the
United States with the children.
She dispelled these rumors her
self. however. by announcing in
London that she had switched
from u. S. to British citizenship.
A person who met the Chaplins
in London describes their marital
situation as apparently less than
idyllic. Chaplin was delayed in the
lobby of their hotel, talking to

Intern Is Believed
Victim Of Curiosity
By the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. "A
colleague of a young intern
found dead in an operating room
at the Jefferson Hospital said
today he believed the intern was
a victim of medical curiosity.
DR.. John Landrum Bobo, jr.,
%, Bishopville, S. c., was found
dead in third floor operating
room by Mrs. Jean Evland, head
nurse. She called DR.. B. Marcial
Martinez, who pronounced him
dead.
DR.. Joseph Belgrade, chief
resident physician, expressed the
opinion that DR.. Bobo may have
been sampling an anesthetic
mixture to learn first-hand what
a patient experienced.
"All doctors are curious as to
the effects of certain cases." DR..
Belgrade said, adding, "and it
may be that he turned on this
gas and held the mask to his
face to sample it.
He may have gotten more
than he intended. It is a fast
acting gas and is capable of
causing death due to heart fail

DR.. Belgrade said several cir
cumstances point to accidental
death. For one thing, the chief
resident said, DR.. Bobo was hold
ing the face mask in his hand
when he was found. Tanks of
both .cyclopropane and oxygen
were turned on. If anyone were
bent on self-destruction he would
strap the mask on his face so
that he would continue to inhale
the gas even after he became un-
conscious. DR.. Belgrade said.

Marshall: HE would sell out
his, grandmother for personal
advantage" He went on to say
other things in that same vein.
Mr.. President. what do you
think Of that appraisal Of Gen.
Marshall?
The President: Ladies and
gentlemen, there are some
things that cause me to be al
most emotional.
Now. I believe that there
are many of you here who
knew Gen. Marshall well your

way he did it. I happen to be
