& Charlie Chaplin returned to Los Angeles on Wednesday,
October 24, from his three weeks‘ trip to the Hawaiian
Islands. His sojourn in Honolulu was limited to only five das,
as the rest of the time was consumed by the round trip
voyage. Arriving here Chaplin lost no time in reaching the site
of his new studio at Sunset boulevard and La Brea street.
With his brother and personal representative, Sid Chaplin, and
Manager Jasper, he thoroughly inspected the property
and went over every detail of the plans for the proposed structure.
Later he left for a three week‘s rest in the mountains.

„Charlie Chaplin Organizes Company
John Jasper Appointed General Manager – Cast of Company
Decided – Chaplin Takes Vacation Trip to Honolulu.
WITH the appointment of John Jasper as general manager,
the organization of the Charlie Chaplin Producing
Company was effected this week, and one more studio was
added to Los Angeles. Simultaneously, Chaplin slipped
quietly away to spend a well-earned vacation of three weeks,
his destination being Honolulu.
During the star‘s sojourn his personal and company
business will be guided by his brother, Sydney
Chaplin, and Mr. Jasper. They will shortly take over extended
acreage in the Hollywood section, where the world-
famous comedies will be made. Ground for the new studio
will be broken early next week. In appointments, it is
said, it will be second to none in the industry.
Prior to his departure, Mr. Chaplin sanctioned the
engagement of a number of the members of his
late Lone Star Company, to support him in his efforts, next
year, for the First National Exhibitors‘ Circuit.
Edna Purviance, whose charm and talent has been
prominent in Chaplin comedies for a long period,
will continue as leading woman. Eric Campbell, the giant
,heavy‘ man, who has provoked many moments
of mirth for followers of the screen, will be identified with the
new organization, as will also Henry Bergman,
another of Chaplin‘s robust discoveries. Scenic artist E. T. Mazy
has been re-engaged, as have also Roland Totheroh,
chief camera man, and Carlyle R. Robinson, director of publicity.
Work on the first of a series of eight subjects, which
Chaplin has contracted to make for the First National Exhibitors‘
Circuit, through the efforts of T. L. Tally, vice-president
of the organization, will begin about the middle of November,
the initial one being released some time in December.
The figure to be paid for these is 1,000,000.
Although Chaplin‘s trip to Honolulu is generally regarded
as one of recreation, the star has another motive,
that being the prospect of the Hawaiian city for the making
of a picture. If conditions there appeal to him
it is probable that an early Chaplin comedy will have this
picturesque and famous resort as a background.“
