      „BY NORBERT LUSK

      NEW YORK, April 9. – William Le Baron will join

the Hollywood colony late this month as vice-president

in charge of production at the F.B.O. studio.“ (...)

      „A great deal of gratification is expressed over the election

of Joseph M. Schenck as president of United Artists,

although it has occasioned no surprise as his elevation to this

post was a foregone conclusion with the passing

of Hiram Abrams.

      CHARLES PERFORMS

      Charles Chaplin was the surprise of the A.M.P.A. dinner

last Saturday night, on which occasion, by the way,

the noticeably small number of stars present was commented

upon. This was due, of course, to last month‘s exodus.

Chaplin not only was present, but he offered a solo pantomime

number on the stage, which, needless to say, was the

artistic hit of the evening and was an oasis in a desert of long

speeches. On Wednesday he appeared in court

to defend a plagiarism suit brought to Leo Loeb, who

alleged that Chaplin incorporated some of his

ideas in Shoulder Arms.“
