„Chaplin‘s meeting with Henry Ford at the latter‘s big main plant“

Editorial content. „Chaplin Gets Big Welcome

      in Detroit

      CHARLES CHAPLIN, en route from New York to the Coast,

made a series of personal appearances in Detroit, October 6, as a

guest of the Detroit Board of Commerce.

      Accompanied by Hiram Abrams, president of the United

Artists; Arthur W. Kelly and others, he was met at the

train by a big reception committee, headed by Harvey Campbell,

secretary of the Board. Others on the committee were

John H. Kunsky, Phil Gleichmann, Judge Albert Murphy,

Howard Pierce and H. W. Traver.

      An outstanding event of the day was Chaplin‘s meeting

with Henry Ford at the latter‘s big main plant. The cameras went

into action and ,shot‘ Charlie, with Henry and Edsel Ford

on either side of him.

      The star-producer also visited the Cadillac and General

Motors plants, and spoke at half a dozen public schools.

In all he made about twenty-five talks during the day, including

one at the city hall, where he was welcomed by Acting

Mayor Lodge and the Coty Council; a session of 500 children

who gave a pageant at the Child Health Association, and

the audience of a boxing match in the evening.

      The chief formal event was a banquet at the Board

of Commerce with Harold H. Emmons, the president, as

toastmaster.“
