& Home Wrecked by Antics of Chaplin

      Charlie Chaplin appeared in the role of a home breaker

in Judge Graham‘s court yesterday when Mrs. Beckie

Hoffman, 947A Webster street, declared that her husband,

Samuel Hoffman, had left her because he was jealous

of the movie comedian. Mrs. Hoffman, of course, never met

Chaplin. She went so often to see him on the screen

that finally her husband, who owns a furniture store at 2180

Mission street, left her, she testified. Judge Graham

continued the case for two weeks in order to hear what

Hoffman has to say.

& Husband Madly Jealous of Chaplin Films,

      She Says, Asking Divorce

      San Francisco, Feb. 26. – Beckie Hoffman told Judge

Graham today she wanted a divorce from Sam

Hoffman, a furniture dealer, because he is insanely jealous

of Charlie Chaplin.

      „I like to go to the movies,“ Mrs. Hoffman

declared, „but when my husband hears

me laugh at Chaplin he becomes insanely jealous.“

      Judge Graham took the case under advisement.

(...) Washington Post, Washington, D. C., Feb. 27, 1916

„Mrs. Hoffman admired Chaplin on the screen“

Editorial content. „San Francisco, March 1.

      Charlie Chaplin is the unconscious cause of a divorce

suit in progress here between the Samuel Hoffmans.

Mrs. Hoffman admired Chaplin on the screen. Her husband

forbade her frequenting any theatre showing a Chaplin

film. She refused and the divorce suit followed.“
