      Secret Is Out

      Advantages of Doing Own Work

      Los Angeles, Nov. 7. (...) Barber Shop to Charlie Chaplin is as

familiar as J. P. Morgan‘s private office is to a book agent.

      Charlie cuts his own hair.

      He says so himself. He just can‘t manage to sit still long

enough for the professional tonsorial ministrations.

      The secret came out the other night over at the Cocoanut

Grove.

      Charlie joined a group of friends at a table, his curley

ringlets severely mowed and massacred.

      ,What happened?‘ the group asked.

      Charlie run a nervous slim hand over what remained

of his shock of iron-grey hair and flashed one of those furtive half

shy smiles of his.

      ,Cut it a little too close this morning,‘ he said. ,You know

I always trim my own hair.‘

      Everyone laughed. Charlie blushed.

      ,No really, I do cut my own,‘ he protested. ,Been doing

it for years. I just can‘t stand a barber shop.‘

      ,Not that I have anything against barbers. But I am too

nervous to sit so long. I hate to have a barber fussing

around me. Upsets me completely and spoils the whole day.

      ,And then, you know, they always talk. Sometimes

they breathe into your nostrils. If they only didn‘t talk at you

so much it might be better. But you know the insidious

thing about garlic. Even your best friend can tell when you have

eaten it.‘“
