Chaplin Ties Up

      „Life“ Distribution

      NEW YOK (UP) – Film Comedian Charles Chaplin

today won a federal court injunction restraining Life Magazine

from distributing its next issue.

      The injunction was issued shortly after Chaplin filed

a million dollar damage suit against the magazine

for printing a picture of Chaplin in his forthcoming film,

„The Dictator.“

      Judge Knox held that the magazine publishers

cannot release an additional 1,700,000 copies now in their

possession.

      The picture that Life published shows Chaplin wearing

a military cap with a double „X“ insignia – „The Dictator of the

Double-Cross.“

& Charlie Chaplin‘s no fool. Instead of pressing his suit for

a $1,000,000 against Life magazine, he‘s given them

a four-page layout of „The Dictator“ which you‘ll see around

the first of September.
