& In Los Angeles, during the visit there
of the Russian ballet, Nijinsky and Charlie Chaplin
met. It was a much happier occasion.
„They immediately became good friends,“ recalls
Madame Nijinsky. „On Chaplin‘s invitation we went
to visit the studio. He was making ,Easy Street‘ at that time,
and we were all photographed in the set.“
Nijinsky „always thought Chaplin was the genius of the
cinema, a wonderful mimic,“ and Chaplin never missed
a performance of the ballet, and „tried hard to get it to stay
on another week.“

„The first night when we heard that Charlie Chaplin was
in the audience all our company was excited,“ says
Madame Nijinsky. „We all admired him. He came back stage
in the interval and was taken to Nijinsky‘s dressing
room. He then went on the stage and was introduced to the
troupe. They all applauded, and Chaplin returned
the compliment by walking up and down in his own special
way and doing a few tricks.“

„The glass breaking and cutting his face“
Editorial content. „RIALTO.
Vengeful.
NOT ALWAYS SO FUNNY.
,Property‘ Lamp Post Plays Chaplin
Nasty Trick.
By Grace Kingsley.
Charlie Chaplin, world-famed comedian, was rather
badly injured in an accident at his studio yesterday.
He was working in a picture called Easy Street, when a comedy
lamp-post, without waiting for its cue, after the manner
of comic furniture in Charlie‘s pictures, abruptly and without
apparent reason fell over on Chaplin, the glass breaking
and cutting his face, and the body of the post, which was of iron,
catching its victim off his guard and crushing him. Chaplin
was at once removed to his rooms at the Athletic Club, where,
it is said, he will have to remain for at least a week.“
