Just to show that there‘s plenty of life in the old boy yet,
Charlie Chaplin goes in for a little game of leap-frog
with Harry D‘Arrast, the director. This picture was taken while
Charlie was convalescing from his recent illness
at Coronado Beach.

& Almost Funny
Sam Goldwyn, they say, left Henry‘s, where he had
been lunching, and hailed a taxicab, directing the
driver to take him to the United Artists studio. „Where is that?“
inquired the driver. „What!“ fumed Goldwyn. „The
United Artists studio, on Santa Monica Boulevard.“ „Oh, yeah,“
said the taxi man, „I getcha. It‘s the one just this side
of Educational Comedies.“

& Comiques Are Concerned
Comedians of the first rank are worrying more about
talking pictures than anybody. Charlie Chaplin has
virtually decided against having any vocal efforts in his
feature, „City Lights.“ And now we learn that
Harold Lloyd is somewhat doubtful about the expediency
of speaking lines.
Both these fun makers have a highly developed
art in their comedy, and it would perhaps be
a great mistake to turn away from this familiar medium into
channels doubtful and unknown. Still they
are both in a quandary at times, we understand.

U. A. Consolidated Plan
Comedian to Put Pictures on Open Market
if Deal Goes Through (...)
Hollywood – Providing United Artists Consolidated
is organized, Charles Chaplin will withdraw from
the United Artists group and place his pictures on the
open market. His attitude towards the proposed
organization is identical with his views on the Warner-United
Artists merger deal which has recently been dropped.
Under the plan units producing for United Artists will
be merged into a single producing organization.
Hitherto, each unit has constituted a separate company
and United Artists has functioned as a distributing
company.
Chaplin has three more pictures to make under his
present United Artists contract. It is expected that
he will consider any change in organization an automatic
cancellation of his distributing agreement.

„Chaplin notwithstanding...“
Editorial content. „In The News
Monday: From Hollywood: Charles Spencer, who rounds
his name out with Chaplin, continues to stand ground.
If United Artists Consolidated becomes a fact, Charlie will not
be party to the move. That‘s his story and stick to it
he will. The rest of the yarn, also quite interesting, is that U. A. Consolidated will be formed, Chaplin notwithstanding...“
