& FILM GOSSIP OF THE MONTH

(...) Lady Milbanke, Charlie Chaplin, the Prince of Wales and

the Duchess of Sutherland. Rumor has it that Wales

rather resented being placed next to Chaplin. Which might account

for his decidedly pained expression. Chaplin, however,

seemed perfectly at ease. The occasion was a hospital benefit.

– IT looked pretty much as if the Prince of Wales was

snubbing Charlie Chaplin at the ice carnival for benefit of a London

Hospital. Charlie sat next to Wales. On Charlie‘s right

was Lady Milbanke. On the Prince‘s left was the Duchess

of Sutherland. It is said that the Prince was annoyed

at being placed next to Chaplin and that he spent most of the

evening talking to the Duchess on his left. So Charlie,

not to be put out, spent most of the evening talking to Lady

Milbanke. Of course, the Prince‘s preoccupied manner

may have been caused by his memories of the Countess

Rosemary Ednam. She was killed in an airplane

accident the summer before last and is commemorated by the

hospital ward for which the benefit was held. In the

picture one can‘t help noticing the Prince‘s pained expression.

Chaplin, on the other hand, appears not at all

embarrassed by Wales‘ supposed snubbing. Any way it was

a triumph for Charlie to sit next to Wales. Remember,

Chaplin is the son of poor London parents.

& A report was published here that Charlie Chaplin and Paulette

Goddard were going to Mexico to be married this week.

Charlie‘s staff at the studio say they haven‘t been informed,

and don‘t believe it. When some one inquired

Miss Goddard, she laughed, a wise and tinkling laugh.

Michigan, Oct. 17, 1932

„Without embarrassing complications“

Editorial content. „Say Chaplin to Wed Soon

      By Mollie Merrick.

      HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Oct. 18. – They say Charles Spencer

Chaplin will have one of those Mexican marriages pretty

soon. Paulette Goddard is supposed to have the trousseau

all ready.

      Our best Mexican divorce lawyer, who also does a bit

of light legal work for the gangland boys hereabouts,

has taken a one-time swell hostelry near Santa Barbara and

rehabilitated it. Ladies may go there, rest, get the best

of service and obtain that old airmail decree from Mexico

without embarrassing complications.“

     Paulette Goddard is Chaplin‘s leading woman

      in Modern Times.
