& Personal Appearance At Chaplin Premiere

      HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 13. – The laugh highlight of Chaplin‘s

premiere  here last night was the address by Charlie

Chaplin himself, the substance of which was going Hollywood

rounds today. Chaplin described a round table

session between Charlie Skouras, Sid Grauman and

himself, punctuating the description with Greek

dialect for human interest. „It was me who held out for a five

dollar top premiere,“ said Chaplin. Skouras said

it couldn‘t be done. „If you insist, however,“ Skouras added,

„give the suckers a break and make a personal

appearance. Besides, you haven‘t been on the screen

for five years; they‘ve probably forgotten you. Your

picture isn‘t enough!“ Skouras also told Chaplin, „Quit

worrying about Manhattan, as the town is just

a village compared to Hollywood.“

      Paulette Goddard climaxed Chaplin‘s story by stepping

into the footlights and announcing: „It‘s all Greek to me.“
