„I‘ll do a Chaplin for you“

Editorial content. „IN Manhandled, in which Gloria Swanson

is appearing at the Million Dollar theater, the little star

is adding new laurels to her screen interpretations by showing

party in a New York sculptor‘s studio Miss Swanson

does an impersonation of Charlie Chaplin that has been

the talk of the town.

about quite by accident. One day after a scene

in Manhandled Miss Swanson was clowning on the sidelines

and somebody handed her a derby hat.

so much like the redoubtable comedian that it was agreed

in the studio parlance.“ (...)
