sequences, the entire picture will be synchronized. The

picture will be started at the Chaplin studio

in about ten days and be released around January 1.

Charlie Chaplin‘s next picture, „City Lights,“ which

will be fully synchronized including sequences in dialogue, starts production this week.

„He will depend wholly upon pantomime“

Editorial content. „CHAPLIN‘S NEXT WITH

      SOUND AND DIALOGUE

      Charlie Chaplin‘s City Lights will be fully synchronized

and there will be sequences in dialogue. Mr. Chaplin

will not permit his tramp character to talk; he will depend wholly

upon pantomime.

      City Lights goes into production within a week. Mr. Chaplin

took six months to write his story, and dialogue

employed in the talking sequences will be written by him also.

      Chaplin hopes to finish camera work in eight weeks.

      The supporting cast has not been finally selected.

Cameramen will be headed by Rollie Totheroh with Eddie Gheller

and Mark Marlatt assisting. Chaplin was assisted in

preparation of his story by Harry Crocker, Henry Clive, Henry

Bergman and Carlyle Robinson.“
