The Circus Scenes

& TO put it discreetly, Hollywood is not exactly surprised at the

Chaplin rift. According to Charlie, the immediate

cause of the quarrel was a noisy party, sponsored by Lita,

which kept his household awake until two o‘clock

in the morning, when Charlie called a halt. Lita says that

Charlie has been cruel to her and that she is willing

to prove it in court. Of course, she will ask a lot of money

to soothe her injured feelings and the custody of the

two children. Charlie objects strenuously to giving up the

babies, for which you can hardly blame him.

      Meanwhile, production on „The Circus“ has been

suspended. Charlie has circus enough at home,

what with lawyers and relatives trying to patch together

the fragments of his busted bliss.

between Charles Spencer Chaplin and his wife, Lita

Grey Chaplin, rumors from Nogales, Arizona, continue

to the effect that Chaplin has been conferring

with a ,prominent attorney‘ of Hermosillo, Mexico, regarding

the obtaining of a divorce under the Mexican laws.

On Mrs. Chaplin‘s side, reports claim a court action in January.

Both principals and attorneys persist in an attitude

of ,buck passing‘ and nothing definite could be obtained

up to going to press.“
