Editorial content. „Chaplin Thru with Hit and Miss Sked,

      Has Script – Even Location

                                                Hollywood, Sept. 17.

      Two significant factors in connection with the production

of Charles Chaplin‘s new picture indicate that the

comedian intends to stick to a schedule instead of the hit

and miss method he used previously. In the past,

he has never worked on schedule, prefering instead to obey

his moods. In the case of this film, he has for the first

time prepared a camera schedule and shooting script which

he claims he will follow. Second factor is the selection

of San Pedro, Cal., as a location. In the past, he has done

all work in sets because of his hatred to work where

the public can see him in action. Because of this new method

Chaplin should complete the location stuff in record

time.

      Set construction for the picture starts today (Monday)

with Danny Hall, his art director in charge. Plans

are to complete the first two sets in three weeks with

production scheduled to start at that time.

      So far, Carter De Haven, Henry Bergman and Paulette

Goddard are the only players set for the cast.

De Haven and Bergman have been working on the story.

Latter has been in Chaplin‘s employ for 12 years.

De Haven also will act as assistant director on the picture.

      Catherine Hunter is handling publicity on the

picture. She started to work last week on preparatory blurbs.

Alf Reeves, also with Chaplin since he started

for himself, will handle the production management.

      If present plans of the comedian are adhered

to, the picture will be completed before the first of the year,

a record in working time for a Chaplin film.“
