the swimming pool at the end of a long walkway. (...) Summit Drive,

Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, 1920s, Discovering Chaplin

& The Chaplin dining room. Just such a richly elegant

but simple room as may be found in many

well appointed American homes. Charlie‘s favorite lamb stew

and plain puddings do not seem out of place

in these surroundings.

& Charlie‘s sanctum sanctorum. The placing of his slippers

on a certain spot to catch the famous feet

as he swings out of bed is an interesting sidelight

on the little comedian.

& IS Charlie Chaplin nursing some secret sorrow?

Does he regret the fiery and beautiful Pola?

„What Charlie needs is a wife“

Editorial content. „Studio News and Gossip East and West

      By Cal York

      Written from the inside of the Hollywood and New

      York Studios. If you read it here it‘ so“ (...)

      „Charlie Chaplin is one of the most absentminded

birds in this world, and it takes him longer to get

around to do things than anybody else that was ever heard of.

The latest thing he‘s neglected to do is buy furniture

for his elegant new mansion in Beverly Hills.

      The house is there in all its grandeur, occupying the adjoining

hill to Pickfair. It‘s a wonderful house, that cost a small

fortune, and it has an organ in it, and a lot of expensive fixtures.

But as for furniture – well, so far, Charlie just simply

hasn‘t gotten around to do it. There is a bed in his bedroom,

but after that Charlie‘s courage or energy or something

failed him miserably and he left it go at that.

      Possibly what Charlie needs is a wife to help him

select it.“
