„Publicity Problems“

Editorial content. „Publicity Problems Worry Cella Lloyd.

      By John Held, Jr.

      What‘s Gone On Before:

      Cella Lloyd, winner of a bathing-girl contest, has

successfully invaded Hollywood. She took along Pa and Ma

Lloyd – but Pa was shipped home. He couldn‘t

acclimate himself to the celluloid world. Cella hasn‘t actually

appeared in a superspecial yet, but she is the talk

of Hollywood. How to continue to be – ah, that‘s the problem.

Now read on!“ (...)

      „Scene III

      Cella contemplates herself engaged to Charlie

Chaplin, but that‘s out, now that the comedian is the much

publicized father of two sons. Cella calls up Valentino,

but Rudy refuses to come to the ‘phone.“ (...)

      „Scene IV

      There‘s nothing left for Cella to do. So she sues

her mother – and breaks on the front pages. Ma Lloyd

doesn‘t quite understand. Who does? The ways

of publicity are indeed strange.“ (...) 

      Cartoon. Chaplin & sons (they look like Laurel & Hardy).
