      HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 3. – Douglas Fairbanks seems to be

a much better business an than Charlie Chaplin, and

      Some time ago, it seems, Fairbanks endorsed

a certain brand of cigarettes, and sold the manufacturer the

right to advertise his endorsement for the sum of

$10,000. Later, Chaplin submitted to the blindfold test for

another cigarette manufacturer, but only received

$5,000 for his permission to allow the result of the test

to be advertised.
