      LITA GREY, REPORT SAYS

      Mexican License Issued in October; Girl‘s Grandfather

      Admits Actor is on Way to Guaymas

      Circumstantial reports that Charles Spencer Chaplin‘s

susceptible heart had again yielded to a captor, and

that he is on his way to Guaymas, Son., to wed his leading

woman, Lita Grey, were given confirmation by the

statement last night of Miss Grey‘s grandfather that he had

seen Chaplin board a Southern Pacific train at 5 p. m.

      ,He often came to see her,‘ the mother said. ,I guess

Lita would be glad to be engaged to Mr. Chaplin.

She would feel herself a lucky girl – and so would any

other girl.‘

      W. E. Curry, Miss Grey‘s grandfather, was reticent

on the point last night. He said Chaplin was going

to Guaymas for film work and that Miss Grey and the rest

of the Chaplin company were there for film work.

      ,Are they engaged?‘

      ,It wouldn‘t be fair either to my granddaughter

or to Mr. Chaplin to answer  that question,‘

Curry replied. ,But I‘ll take my Bible oath they are not married.

She has been out with Mr. Chaplin a lot.‘“ (...)
