& German Chaplin Ban Yarn Is „Premature“

& NAZIS BAN

      CHAPLIN PIC

                                                         Berlin, March 10.

      German opinion has been suspicious of „Modern Times“

from the start. A Frankfurt newspaper describes

the N. Y. premiere in these words: „Charlie plays the part

of a Communist leader. The public was not at all

enthusiastic. On the contrary, never was Chaplin so heavily

attacked. The picture was more or less hissed off.“

      By order of Dr. Goebbels, minister of Enlightenment

and Propaganda, the  admirers of Charlie Chaplin

in Germany will be barred from seeing „Modern Times.“

Much rumor about it has led to an official of the

Propaganda Ministry stating that, although the film has not

yet been submitted to the German censor, there

is no doubt that it will be banned.

      Nazi objection to „Modern Times“ is based more on the

convictions, firmly held by the authorities, that Chaplin

is a Jew than on the film‘s supposed „Marxistic“ tendencies.

In the first month of the Nazi regime, Chaplin‘s name

appeared on a list of „prominent non-Aryans.“

„Contrary to the spirit of the New Germany“

Editorial content. „Modern Times Is

      Banned in Germany

      Berlin, Feb. 17. – Modern Times will not be shown

in Germany, it was revealed today, because of a ban by the

Nazi Government. The Ministry of Propaganda

declared the film was ,contrary to the spirit of the New

Germany of Chancellor Adolf Hitler.‘

      Queried yesterday on whether United Artists would

seek an appeal from the Nazi government ban on Modern Times, Arthur W. Kelly, executive vice-president, last night stated

the company would not.

      ,It‘s up to Mr. Chaplin to do whatever he wants to about it,‘

Kelly asserted.“

      Modern Times world premiere is in New York Feb. 5, 1936

      at the Rivoli Theatre.
