Charlie Chooses Blonde.

      Charlie Chaplin‘s new leading woman is a blonde, and her

name is Virginia Cherrill. She will be seen

in „City Lights,“ his new picture, now under way.

      This completes a cycle for Charlie. In

Georgia Hale, who appeared in „The Gold Rush,“ he chose

a brunette, and in Merna Kennedy, his lead in „The

Circus,“ an auburn-haired girl. Skipping Lita Grey, who never

was actually seen in one of his comedies, though

she played a considerable part in his personal life, this makes

a one-two-three rotation, as regards the types he has

selected.

      Miss Cherrill resembles, though very slightly. Edna

Purviance, who was Chaplin‘s lead in so many

pictures. She is a Chicago girl, twenty years of age, and

a friend of Sue Carol. She was introduced to Chaplin

at the Hollywood boxing stadium.

      Lita Grey can be seen in The Kid.

      Just what does it take to be Charlie Chaplin‘s leading lady?

and dance the first seven dances with Clara Bow.“ (...)
