„I died happy – the talkies never got me“
Editorial content. „Youth‘s Painting Becomes
Talk of Town
The lobby of the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood boasts
probably the most-talked-of oil painting that has been
shown in Los Angeles for a decade. It represents the assembling
of Napoleon and his staff (in the foreground) after his
victory at Austerlitz, with divisions of the army in the background.
The picture is the work of a sixteen-year-old genius,
Charles de Ravenne, who put in three years painting it.“ (...)
„Joe Schenck is Napoleon.“ (...)
„Charlie Chaplin is represented as a wounded monk
lying on the ground to the left of General Murat. His right mitt
clutches a bottle of tonsil shellac, and his bleary eyes
are gazing in dizzy abandon at Marion Davies, who, as a french
vivandiere, is tenderly bending over him in an endeavor
to pour some eau de vie from a flask into his parched throat.
The monk, however, is about to take the leap into the
dark, his latest words being, ,I died happy – the talkies never
got me.‘
BECK HOLDS I. O. U.‘S
Dick Beck is crawling along the ground, back of Marion
Davies, disguised as a German spy, his hand clutching
a sheaf of I. O. U.‘s of Napoleon‘s body guard, who had put
in one glorious night at the Blossom Room.“ (...) „The
painting is a knockout – don‘t miss it.
Ed O‘Malley.“
