      „Charlie Chaplin to Begin

      The suspense is still on, among the flapper actresses,

as to who will be Charlie Chaplin‘s new leading woman.

Edna Purviance is not definitely settled on, by any means,

especially as she may want to start a new starring

picture before Charlie Chaplin finishes his next comedy.

In the meantime many tests are being taken and

many young hearts are fluttering. It has been whispered

that Charlie is going to choose a brunette.

      But brunette or no brunette, Chaplin is going to start

shooting next Monday, according to announcement

from his studio yesterday, though the only member of his

supporting cast so far chosen is Mack Swain. Chaplin

and Swain will make some of their scenes at the beginning

of the week whether a leading lady has then been

settled on or not. But the new leading lady is bound to have

been chosen by the middle of the week.

      The new comedy is a burlesque on the gold rush

days in Alaska, and offers many opportunities

to the comical Charlie for laughs when he drives the dog

teams and does the snowshoes. Just where the

snow scenes will be taken isn‘t certain, though it is likely

that a location trip to Canada will be taken.

      The Chaplin vehicle will be a five or six-reeler, and will

take some six months in the filming, it is announced.“
