„Dumbbell–Eh?“

      Charlie Chaplin‘s ex-wife beats bad luck, gossip and publicity

(...) Photo, Photoplay, Feb. 1930

& To the Editor of The New York Times:

      Will you permit me the courtesy of your columns to suggest

to the New York women that they follow the action taken

by the Miami women in making a special plea for the Charlie

Chaplin pictures at this time? Theirs was a protest

against the silly agitation on the part of women in other sections

of the country against the production of his pictures

during the divorce trial. But I would add to this protest an

appreciation of a great artist and what he has done

to provide clean, wholesome and most delightful amusement

for the American people. There is no one, man or

woman, in the movie world who has done more to lift the

pictures to a high plane, or who deserves to a greater

extent  the loyal sympathy and support of our people than Mr.

Chaplin, now suffering so keenly from the unbalanced

actions of a willful girl

                                                               ALICE CARPENTER,

                                                  New York, Jan. 14, 1927.

Voters asked theaters not to show Chaplin

pictures pending the settlement of the divorce case against him.

&  Seattle Board to Act

      Seattle – Major Bertha K. Landes will ask the Seattle

Censor Board to decide whether Chaplin films should be banned

from the city.

„If Chaplin‘s films are barred“

Editorial content. „Want Chaplin Films Shown

      Miami Beach – In an effort to counteract what is termed

the ,silly attitude´ which women‘s clubs have taken

towards Charles Chaplin, the Miami Beach Woman‘s Club

has petitioned local exhibitors to show all pictures

that feature the comedian. Mrs. Clayton Sedgwick Cooper,

head of the Club, said that „the patrons of picture

theatres will be the loser if Chaplin‘s films are barred.“
