„A man-about-town“

Editorial content. „Charlie Goes Under

      the Big Top“

      Four photos. „Charlie Chaplin planned to go to the Paris

boulevards for the locale of his next picture. It was

to be called The Boulevardier. He thought a lot could happen

to a man out walking in Paris...

      ...but he changed the Chaplin mind and took Mr. Barnum‘s

famous tanbark for his stage. He must have decided

that even more could happen to a man in a circus. At any

rate, knowing Charlie, we feel confident that The

Circus is well named.

      In a way, Charlie used his first idea, for the protagonist

of this new story is a man-about-town. He becomes

mixed up with pink lemonade, peanuts, popcorn and other

circus accoutrements because of a girl. And the girl

in the case is Merna Kennedy“
