      HOLLYWOOD, June 8. – Some three months having

been used in preparation, Charlie Chaplin has started work on

„City Lights.“ his next picture.

      The comedian has thrown a certain amount

of mystery around the film, declining to discuss its theme

and other such important details.

      The known facts about „City Lights“ are few. It is to follow

an original idea of Chaplin‘s, the comedian will direct

as well as play the title role and it is to be ready for release

in November.

      Should it be ready for the screen on the announced

date, „City Lights“ will form some kind of a speed record for

recent Chaplin productions.
