„A payment made by Mayer“
Editorial content. „Mrs. Chaplin Free Agent.
Mildred Harris, wife of Charles Chaplin, who signed
a contract recently with Lewis B. Mayer, to star
in his pictures, was pried loose from her contract with
Universal by hard cash. First statements declared
that the latter contract was inequitable because Miss Harris
was under age when she signed it. Later it was
learned from Bennie Zeidman, Mayer‘s general manager,
that Carl Laemmle, President of Universal, released
Miss Harris from her contract in consideration of a payment
made by Mayer.
There is talk that Laemmle is in bad with his Board
of Directors as a result of this concession,
made without authority from the New York office.“
