      HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 30. (AP) – The world of make-believe

paid homage today to Mrs. Hannah Chaplin, mother of two great comedians.

      Mrs. Chaplin was buried today in the city in which

her sons found fame, as she found it a score of years before

in England.

      Charles Chaplin, her eldest son, and a few intimate friends

attended the funeral. Sydney Chaplin is in Europe.

      Mrs. Chaplin taught her sons love of the theater, encouraged

their first efforts and applauded their first successes. When

the world war and Zeppelin raids on London had overpowered

her mind, her sons brought her to America.“

      Sydney is Charlie Chaplin‘s elder half-brother.
