„The Price of a Good Time

      „Supersensitive to the tragic,“ a critic said

at first sight of Miss Mildred Harris. In little Linnie‘s

horror-stricken eyes we read a pure young girl‘s first awful

terror before the undraped, grisly skeleton of Life

& „For Husbands Only“ As tantalizing as a Wink!

& Mildred Harris

      The heroine of „K“ is indeed fortunate. Seven of her

eighteen years have been under the masterly tutelage

of Tom Ince and D. W. Griffith. Since last summer Mildred

Harris has been the especial protégé of Lois Weber.

With a winning and unspoiled personality at seventeen, big

things are prophesied for the little girl from Cheyenne.

& Mildred Harris, „The Doctor and The Woman,“ „The Confession

of a Woman,“ unidentified theatre, Chicago

      Putting the Punch in „K.“ The producers who made over

Mary Roberts Rinehart‘s popular novel, „K,“ were

congratulating themselves that they had quite some punchy

little title in „The Doctor and the Woman.“ But a Chicago

loop theatre went ‘em one better. They booked  „The Doctor and

the Woman,“ but they weren‘t satisfied with the title.

So they got out the red tickets and hung up a classy sign

to this effect: „The Confession of a Woman.“ And

the lurid lights on the posters wink maliciously at the passerby:

„You don‘t know the half of it; you don‘t know the half of it.“

„The girl bride“

Editorial content. „Charlie Chaplin Married;

      Bride a Movie Star of 17“

      Photo. „Mildred Harris Chaplin

      Wedded in Los Angeles Oct. 23 – Official Carelessly

      Reveals Secret.

      ,When I wanted to marry I didn‘t have the money.

Now that I have the money, I don‘t care to marry.‘

      These were once Charles Spencer Chaplin‘s sentiments,

but since he made that remark the same Mr. Chaplin,

who is Charlie Chaplin, Charlie of the films, the little fellow

who has made millions laugh at his queer shoes and

ridiculous mustache, and, incidentally, has made millions

of dollars for himself, has been inducted into the ranks

of the benedicts by charming Miss Mildred I. Harris, another

screen star, of Los Angeles.

      The wooing – under a bunch of ,Coopers‘ instead

of a moon – was all kept very secret, and his most intimate

friends were as surprised as any one else when  the

news was made public recently that Charlie and Mildred had

slipped quietly away to the house of R. S. Sparks, head

of the Los Angeles County License Bureau, and had been

married by the Rev. James L. Meyers.

      This all happened as far back as Oct. 23, but they

successfully kept the news to themselves until recently Mr. Sparks

let the cat out of the bag when he laughingly remarked

that Charlie would have to work overtime now that he had

a wife to support. When questioned further Mr. Sparks confirmed

the story of the marriage and added:

      ,Mr. Chaplin did not want any excitement made over

the marriage. He told me that unless it could be kept very quiet

he would go to some other county seat for a license.

It would never have done to let Charlie Chaplin go to any

other place than Los Angeles, so I did my best to keep

things as quiet as possible.‘

      The girl bride, for Miss Harris is only seventeen years

old, has the ability to throw an appealing charm into

her picture work, and will be remembered by movie fans for

this quality in The Bride of the South, in which she

appeared.

      Charles Chaplin was born in London in 1890, and his

first appearance on the stage was with his parents

when he was eight years old in From Rags to Riches, which

must have been an omen of good luck, for the last part

of the title of that first play has certainly come true with him.“
