& U. A. POOL IS SEEN AS

      CERTAIN ON WEST COAST

      Deal Without Chaplin

      to be Made With Warners Under Plan (...)

      Los Angeles – Joseph M. Schenck and other members

of United Artists will go through with plans for

United Artists Consolidated, an affiliation with Warners,

without Charles Chaplin, it is understood.

      Chaplin‘s stand made Sunday at a meeting at the Fairbanks

estate is final, and he has wired his attorney, Nathan

Burkan, to remain in New York as he will not participate in any

future conference on the prepared consolidation.

      Chaplin has stated he will consider his present United

Artists contract cancelled if the deal goes through,

in which event he is ready to place his films on the open market.

Editorial content. „Newspapers Play Up Chaplin

      Opposition to Warner Deal“ (...)

      „Emphasis on Charles Chaplin‘s value as copy is being

placed by newspapers throughout the country in reporting the

comedian‘s opposition to the proposed pooling of United

Artists units and affiliation with Warner. Recently a long interview

on Chaplin‘s distaste of talkers was featured by United

Press members.“
