Charles Chaplin, Lita Grey Chaplin, Feb. 1925,

Discovering Chaplin

& Charlie Chaplin is stirring up as much merriment

with his marital affairs as he ever did with his comedies.

Since rumors of differences between him and his

girl-bride, formerly Lita Grey, the quips have flown thick and

fast. At a film affair in the East a song was announced

entitled My Lita Grey Home in the West. When Baby Betty,

aged five, appeared on the stage at the Wampas

ball as a Wampas baby star, some one asked, „Who‘s

that baby?“ „I dunno,“ came the reply from

another. „Probably Charlie Chaplin‘s next wife.“

& Whatever storms may have ruffled the matrimonial

seas of Charlie Chaplin and his child-bride hitherto,

at present all seems to be serene and peaceful in that direction,

not to say actually sunny and delightful. While

it is true that Mrs. Chaplin‘s mother, grandmother and

other relations have left the Chaplin mansion

in Beverly Hills and moved to a house provided for them

on Whitley Heights, Hollywood, Mrs. Chaplin herself

has not left her husband‘s roof, and indeed seems for the first

time since her marriage to be assuming her rightful

place as its mistress. She and Charlie have given several

dinner parties to intimate friends, and guests who

were present declare that Charlie was kindness and gentleness

itself to the sixteen-year-old wife who is soon to

become the mother of his child.

„The stork was expected at their home in the summer“

Editorial content. „Chaplin‘s Youthful Bride

      The whirlwind romance of Charles Chaplin and Lita Grey,

his youthful leading lady whom the comedian married

last fall after a sudden elopement to Mexico, naturally was

of great interest to Hollywood; partly, no doubt,

because of the failure of his earlier marriage with another

girl, Mildred Harris, who wed the comedian while

still in her teens, and their subsequent separation after the

birth, and death, of their child.

      Perhaps it was because of this that rumors were

circulated soon after the elopement, that the present romance

was breaking, and that the pair had separated. But

these rumors were firmly denied by Mrs. Chaplin when

reporters finally broke down the wall of seclusion

the Chaplins built up after their return to Hollywood. At the

same time Mrs. Chaplin said that the stork was

expected at their home in the summer.

      The pictures of Mrs. Chaplin on this page were taken

recently. The one above shows her with her mother,

who managed carefully her brief career as a motion-picture

actress.“
