& Traffic on the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street in New

York City on August 13, 1925, Topical Press Agency

& WISH I could only think of something real

clever to say before the continuity gets too close to the

fade-out. This week is my chance to shine

what with William A. Johnston riding the rattlers out

Chicago and St. Louis way. (...)

      First National held a week‘s busy sessions and hasn‘t

made an „Official Statement“ yet. Which is the way

it goes. Some fellows say as how they captured „The Kid,“ but

First National won‘t even admit they ever

met the youngster.

„Query: Does First National get The Kid?“

Editorial content. „Snapshots

      Around the Clock with W. A. Johnston

      Ever see an editorial note-book? Page after page

      of random jottings of names. Each name

      a reminder. Well – here are the names and the thoughts

      they bring to mind, just as the pages of this

      week‘s note-book are turned:

      Charles Chaplin. J. D. Williams and writer walking

up Fifth avenue. Meet Charles Spencer Chaplin

and Edward Knoblock – both playwrights. Mr. Knoblock

an Anglicized American (in speech). Mr. Chaplin,

an Americanized Englishman (in appearance). Both in film

business? Yes, at least Mr. Knobloch now is.

      Handshaking all around. Mr. Knoblock introduced

subject of weather. ,Frightfully warm day,‘ etc.

Messrs. Williams and Chaplin concentrated on subject.

All four finally and solemnly agreed it was

a ,frightfully warm day,‘ etc. ,So, Long!‘ etc., etc.

      Cited as only instance of film men meeting

and not talking film.

      Query: Does First National get The Kid? Weather

signs would indicate it.“
