      DIVORCE SETTLEMENT

      Arranged Last Friday – Formal Court Motion –

      Wife Retains Children

Los Angeles, Aug. 16.

      The Chaplin divorce case was settled here last Friday

at a conference between attorneys for both sides.

Lita Grey Chaplin got $850,000 in cash for herself, with the

two sons given into her custody.

      It is said final papers will be signed in San Francisco

or Delmonte Monday.

      It is understood the trial will proceed next Monday with

a possibility that the complaint will be modified

or withdrawn and a decree asked as a formal matter

by attorneys for the most recent Mrs. Chaplin.

      The home of the couple will be appraised, the value

to be deducted from the cash settlement as Mrs. Chaplin wants

to live there.

      Pressure

      Chaplin sanctioned the settlement before leaving

Chicago last week. It is said the pressure of leaders of the

film industry brought this about on the grounds that

if he allowed the case to go on trial picture people might

repudiate him.

      Despite the settlement Chaplin is reported on his way

here from Monterrey to prepare and fight the case

in court. This statement comes from Gavin McNabb, one

of his attorneys, who had the case on the verge

of settlement several times, when differences came up

with Robert McMurray, uncle and attorney for

Mrs. Chaplin.“
