WHO CARES ABOUT THAT RUBBISH?

(...) THE Motion Picture Museum which opened so

hopefully several months ago has closed, Los Angeles Evening Express, Jan. 5, 1929

& Charlie Chaplin is another who believes in starting the new

year industriously. Charlie has given orders which

shatter the Chapin studio‘s recent weeks of color and proposes

to go through scenes for his „City Lights“ on the lavish

sets which have been up and waiting for action for some weeks.

      Chaplin is making this picture on a broader

expanse of studio area than he ever used before, having

shoved his fences way over through the back yard

of the $250,000 Syd Chaplin mansion at the corner of Labrea

and Sunset blvds.

      Charlie‘s move necessitated cutting down scores of fine

orange trees, which had been a pictorial background

for the studio and residence for many years. Although many

persons did not know it, these orange trees augmented

the annual Chaplin income by many a century note. He shipped

the oranges under his contract as a fruit raiser with one

of the co-operative California associations.

& Chaplin Surrounded (...)

      Charles Chaplin after many delays has started „City

Lights.“ Previously he had done some work alone,

but now he is surrounded by Virginia Cherrill, leading woman;

Henry Clive, Henry Bergman and Harry Crocker.

& 350 OF 35,000 (...)

      Charles Chaplin has exposed 35,000 feet of film

on „City Lights.“

      This, it is believed, will clean up one sequence which

on the screen will run 350 feet.

Mask, Charlie Chaplin in City Lights.“ (...)
