& CHAPLIN, STORY SOLD,
PLANS FOR NEW FILM
His book, „A Comedian Sees the World,“ which brought
him a reputed 450,000 for 50,000 words, having
been delivered to the Woman‘s Home Companion, national
monthly, in which it will appear serially starting with
the August issue, Charles Chaplin, film star, is occupied
at his home with preparation for his next film.
It is expected that the new Chaplin feature will be made
in the comedian‘s studios here and will be in type
of his former successes, „City Lights.“ At present it is thought
that the new picture will be set against a big town
background with factory atmosphere. In it Chaplin will be seen
in his familiar waif character and it is to be filmed
with synchronized sound effects and music.
While no cast has been selected, Paulette Goddard,
actress whose name for some time has been
linked with Chaplin, is said to be seriously considered
for the feminine lead. According to current plans
the new film will be completed for this year.

& Chaplin Plans New Film
Mary Pickford is expected back any day to begin
preparations for her next two stories – „Aiice
in Wonderland“ and „Peter Pan.“ Anyway, that‘s what
the report is.
And Charlie Chaplin is going back to work. His next picture –
a silent with sound only – will have a big town background
with factory atmosphere. Paulette Goddard, whose name for some
time has been linked romantically with Chaplin‘s, is said
to be seriously considered for the feminine lead.
Chaplin has one of those single-track concentrations. Ever
since his return from his visit to the Orient and Europe
he has been working on his book, „A Comedian Sees the World.“
He finished it last week, every last word of the 50,000
dictated to a stenographer and edited by himself, and delivered
it to a woman‘s publication which paid him $1 a word for
it. The story will start serially in the August edition.

& WOMAN‘S SCOOP
Familiar to the newspaper is the often heralded „scoop.“
Less frequent, less common is the scoop in the field
of magazines, periodicals. To the popular „Woman‘s Home
Companion“ has recently gone a definite scoop, two
years in the making, fostered by quick thinking and rapid
action. To a woman goes credit for the beat. When
Charles Chaplin finished „City Lights,“ two years ago, Miss
Gertrude B. Lane, editor-in-chief, was bathed in the
light of a great inspiration. She cabled Chaplin in London,
dispatched managing editor Willa Roberts to conclude
negotiations. The result: in the current issue (August 18) begins
the great comedian‘s 40,000 word autobiography,
to run in five installments. One of Chaplin‘s terms was that
the piece be published as he wrote it. Glad to comply
was Editor Lane, knowing well the value of her scoop. . . .
