„I hope you will publish this letter in your magazine“

Editorial content. „In Defence of the Little Man

      with the Derby

      SINCE the Lita Gray-Charlie Chaplin marital affairs

have been aired in the newspapers frequently with very bad

taste, we have received hundreds and hundreds

of letters from our readers urging us to take a stand against

Charlie´s films being barred from the screen. And

it does seem as if the man should be disassociated from

the artist. It would be impossible to print excerpts

from all of the letters, but below is one which pretty well

reflects the others.

      Dear Editor:

      Why all this talk about denying to the motion picture

screen the Charlie Chaplin films merely because he and his wife

are having differences which are disgustingly reported

upon in some newspapers?“ (...)

      „I cannot see that a few groups of women here

and there have any need to make decisions for their entire

neighborhoods.“ (...)

      „He has given the world such hearty laughter.“ (...)

      „I hope you will publish this letter in your magazine.

                                          A constant reader

                                                                 M. F. R.

      New York City, New York.“
