Carl Wilmore, Boston Post, Boston, Massachusetts, April 25, 1920.
One of the rare pictures in which Mildred and Charlie
posed together. The picture was made at Catalina Island –
owned by Wrigley, the gum man. The occasion

& Her days of convalescence were spent in this Hollywood
home: this real home, to which she came as a bride.
You remember the Chaplins were married October 23, 1918.

The nursery was all in blue and white, with delicate

shades. A specially constructed white enamel bed,
positively entrancing, and canopied gayly was
awaiting the newcomer.
,Just before the baby came,‘ says Mrs. Chaplin, ,Charlie
