& The Gossipel Truth

      CHARLIE CHAPLIN tells this much about his new flicker –

it is practically all written; it will have an industrial

background, a yarn about man and machinery; and it will

be the first Chaplin picture to deliberately try to

deliver a message.

„Big factory sets“

Editorial content. „,A CHAPLIN THIS YEAR‘

      ,CHARLIE CHAPLIN is definitely set for a film this year,‘

says Motion Picture Daily, which relates that it will be all silent.

The picture as contemplated will deal with industrial

conditions and will present ,big factory sets.‘ Naively enough

the Hollywood story says that Mr. Chaplin has ,the whole

film on paper because overhead will not permit improvising.‘

      The day has to come in the art of screen when

even the great Chaplin cannot shoot it ,off the cuff.‘ Many the

odd million the motion picture might have saved itself

in years gone by recognizing the merits of preparation and

the advisability of drawing plans before building.

      Mr. Chaplin‘s technique has been in the making now just

twenty-one years. He became famous in Keystone‘s

one-reelers at a reel a week and tremendous mass circulation.

He became a genius in two reels for Lone-Star Mutual

and he became wealthy in a handful of releases through First

National. But all that was rather a long time ago, as time

goes in the screen world. He is still the great Chaplin, but it will

be necessary to refresh the memories of the oldsters

and to tell the youngsters about him all over again.“
