& Breathless World Awaits
Story of Chaplin „Rift“
„Absurd! Ridiculous! Unthinkable! Not a word of truth
in it – not a word!“
With emphasis, ire and considerable strong language,
Charlie Chaplin‘s official spokesman and press
agent, Katherine Hunter, today spiked rumors that the famed
comedian‘s romance with devastating Paulette
Goddard was suffering from that peculiar Hollywood malady
– a „rift.“
Because Chaplin went away for a week-end on
his yacht while Paulette travelled to Palm Springs for a little
sunshine, gossipy tongues began to wag.
Even though confronted by the fact that Chaplin‘s two
sons were with his inamorata in Palm Springs,
the tongues wagged on. The aloof mimic was sufficiently
disturbed to say things to his spokesman, who
demanded of the tongue-waggers:
„It would hardly seem likely that the children would be
with Miss Goddard if there was a rift, would it?
Mr. Chaplin has been working night and day on his
forthcoming production, and merely went away
for a few days of solitary rest.“

& NO RIFT AT ALL
WITH CHAPLIN
Paulette Goddard Shows Up Inaccuracies
of Hollywood Correspondents.
By MOLLIE MERRICK.
HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 8. – Paulette Goddard and Charles
Chaplin, dining with friends, loudly derided the story
of Hollywood correspondents that they have had a disagreement
and are no longer interested in each other.
Paulette Goddard said: „What really happened was that
Charlie, eager to finish some cutting and final editing
of his picture, wanted the weekend to himself. So Beth Newman
and I went off to the desert. Beth Newman took her
baby and I took Charlie‘s boys.“
(Beth Newman, by the way, is the wife of Albert
Newman, music director of Twentieth Century-Fox pictures.)
(...) Spokesman-Review, Spokane, Wash., Nov. 9, 1935.
Al Newman is musical director of the United Artists studio.
„Something unusual in the way of musical accompaniment“
Editorial content. „Release Date Nearing
For Chaplin Film
Strange sounds emanating from the secret recesses of the
Charlie Chaplin studios seem to signify the fact that
Modern Times is just about completed . . . Originally scheduled
for a world premiere in New York on October 11, the
date has been set back . . . But what is a month or two in the
life of a picture that has taken more than 18 months
to produce, comes more than four years after Charlie‘s last
one . . . You all remember City Lights and the fact that
it was three years before the cameras. . . .
Chaplin promises something unusual in the way of musical accompaniment . . . and practically every bit of it of his
own creation . . .“
„There have been more guesses about the details
of Modern Times than about any other picture
ever made. . . Columns of space have been devoted
to conjectures . . . Not one of them, the Chaplin
studios assure us, is altogether correct . . . .“
Modern Times world premiere will be in New York
Feb. 5, 1936 at the Rivoli Theatre.
Rivoli Theatre, Broadway at 49th Street, New York.
