& „Modern Times,“ written, directed and produced

by Charles Chaplin and released through United Artists. It took

five years between „City Lights“ and „Modern Times“

and that‘s too long by anybody‘s chronometer, Charlie. We‘re

expecting at least one a year, henceforth; otherwise

it will be too late for some of us. Have a heart!

      BUT MAY CUT IT

      Monosyllables are Used Tentatively

      in Sequences.

      HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Jan. 2. – The matter of Chaplin‘s

talking into the microphone has been settled. But

whether his voice will issue from the sound horns behind

the screen is something else. (...)

      By hint it is learned from Charlie‘s friend and business

manager, Alf Reeves, that at least three sound

sequences have been made. But they are only incidental

and could as well be left out, so far as the plot is

concerned. And moreover, Chaplin‘s initial utterances

for the sound track are wholly monosyllable.
