& JASPER JOINS CHARLIE CHAPLIN
John Jasper, who was business manager for
David Horsley studios, took a month‘s vacation, then signed
with Charlie Chaplin to be manager of the Lone Star
Studio. Jasper succeeds H. P. Caulfield, who has departed
for the east to look after his own interests. Jasper
is a man of pretty wide knowledges in the picture game and
can be relied upon to do his part in managing a studio.
And incidentally it might be stated that the studio is now sending
out a press sheet, which is an unprecedented occurrence,
which we hop will be continued.

& ONE of the most highly qualified
scenic artists of France has been commissioned
to design the settings for the production
on which Charlie Chaplin is now working. The picture
depicts bohemian life of the Latin Quarter
of Paris and is expected to afford food for memories
to those of his admirers who have seen true
Bohemia in the world‘s great capitals. One of the most
striking settings is the replica of an actual
corner of the Montmartre district of Paris, with its old
turretted buildings rubbing shoulders with
insignificant little dwellings, the whole intersected
by arched and vaulted passages and
by courtyards paved with flagstone and cobble.

& WHO CAN TELL?
Charlie Chaplin pulled a nifty the other day. Got pinched
by real cops, and here he been trying to avoid public
appearance. God pity the court room floor when the trial comes
off. Every poor fan will try to be on hand to glimpse
the comic.

„An immigrant, bound for the land of liberty“
Editorial content. „Rolfe Has German Fleet Films.
Next Chaplin Farce ,The Immigrant‘ (...)
„Charlie Chaplin‘s next picture will be called The Immigrant.
After weeks of work the film has been completed
at the Lone Star studio, near Los Angeles. Many of the scenes
in The Immigrant were taken in the steerage of an
ocean liner. Charlie plays the role of an immigrant, bound
for the land of liberty. Arriving in America without
funds, he discovers that money is not picked up on the street,
as he supposed, and he begins the game of bluff
to beat the high cost of living.“
