& Charlie Chaplin will officially open Harry Crocker‘s motion

picture museum next Friday night. The ceremony will

be brief as Harry is determined to have the opening simple

and without the usual fuss and feathers of dedications.

Harry has some of the most interesting relics of the motion

picture industry in his collection. All of the stars and

producers have been unusually generous in wishing to promote

this institution which will of course, be helpful to pictures

and to Hollywood. The motion picture museum is located at

Sunset boulevard near Gower, almost directly across

from the Warner Brothers‘ studio. The invitations to this

professional preview read from eight to midnight.

& Oddly enough, Merna Kennedy was introduced to Chaplin

by Lita, who recommended her for the lead in „The

Circus.“ That, of course, was pre-war, before suits and

counter-suits had turned Chaplin‘s hair grey, and

no pun meant.
