& Charles Chaplin

      Back in the land of sunshine where „real estate mothers

specialize in subdividing great fortunes,“ he seems

happy as ever. At the Ambassador Saturday afternoon,

with his three musketeers, D‘Arrast, Crocker and

Bell, he bowed cordially and talked animatedly. After all –

what‘s a mere million between husband and wife.

Some fellows I know would give two millions to get rid of theirs.

Their names will appear in the next issue.

„What truly wonderful people these motion picture folks are“

Editorial content. „Over Once

      (With a flock of apologies to O. O. McIntyre)

      A Day in Hollywood“ (...)

      „UPON departing from the Schenck mansion and

lackadaisically sauntering up the boulevard,

whom should I run into but – bless his heart – Charles Spencer

greyer and his bank roll a bit shot to hell – but the same

old Charlie – ah, yes – the same old Charlie.

We discussed things hither and you and then to ,brunchen‘

with the world‘s greatest comedian – where

he and I were the cynosure of all eyes – distressingly

embarrassing.

      CHARLIE and I were in the midst of a most engaging

Ronald Coleman, Lon Chaney, Marion Davies, Harold Lloyd,

Pauline Garon, Teddy Sampson, Wallace Beery and

others, whose names I cannot call to memory at present,

but for which I hope they forgive me. I forgave them

the interruption inasmuch as the warm manner in which they

expressed themselves at seeing me – and Charlie,

made me realize, more than ever what truly wonderful people

these motion picture folks are.“ (...)
