& The program, as far as Lichtman will divulge it follows:

      Chaplin will appear in his first comedy in four

years. It is a story based on mass production in an immense

factory and will trace its effect on „a mere individual

who is a small cog among a million wheels.“ „The Great

Factory“ may be its title.

„The retirement of Mr. Schenck“

Editorial content. „SCHENCK, ZANUCK LEAVE

      UNITED ARTISTS FOR FOX

      Entire Producing Personnel and Assets of 20th

      Century Join Fox; Schenck Becomes Chairman, Zanuck

      a Vice-President

      Joseph M. Schenck, for ten years president of United

Artists Corporation, resigned abruptly on Monday

to become chairman of the board of Fox Film Corporation.“ (...)

      „UA Principals Explain

      Some of the producing members of United Artists

offered the industry an explanation of the move, the basis of which

had been kept secret the past several months. A joint

statement issued by Mary Pickford, Charles Chaplin and Samuel

Goldwyn read:

      ,Mr. Joseph M. Schenck has been negotiating with the

United Artists Corporation for several months for the

release of his future pictures, but failed to come to satisfactory

terms. He has, therefore, apparently made arrangements

elsewhere.‘

      The retirement of Mr. Schenck from the United Artists scene

was considered in most quarters to be one of the most

important company changes in the industry. He held one-six of the company stock with partners having similar interest, including

Miss Pickford, Mr. Chaplin, Mr. Goldwyn, Douglas Fairbanks and

Art Cinema.“ (...)

      „Samuel Goldwyn also has been mentioned as a possible

successor, although indications from Hollywood

Tuesday were that at a meeting of Mr. Goldwyn, Miss Pickford

and Mr. Chaplin it was decided not to name a producer

for the post. This report, if true, adds strength to the possibility

Mr. Lichtman will be named.“ (...)
