Carmel, California, 1938
& CHATTER IN HOLLYWOOD: Reckon Scarlett
O‘Goddard is happy that she has been ordered to New Orleans,
where she will seek to improve her Southern accent
for „Gone With the Wind.“ Now she won‘t have to face Charlie
Chaplin when he returns from Pebble Beach for
he is sure to be surprised, to put it mildly, when he sees
how his one time bachelor home has been turned
into a veritable doll‘s house by Paulette and Sylvia Fairbanks.

& CHATTER IN HOLLYWOOD: Sylvia Fairbanks is far too
clever a woman to remain idle and when I asked
her if it were really true she was in complete charge
of redecorating Charlie Chaplin‘s house, she
said: „Well, isn‘t it about time someone did something with
that house?“ The Fairbanks home at the beach
is so charming and unusual, and if she has as much luck
with Charlie‘s place, I wouldn‘t be surprised to find
her flooded with offers from her Hollywood friends to „re-do“
their places. Another thing – if Sylvia were a movie
star I‘ll wager the fans would copy her fad of not wearing
a hat, even in the daytime.

& Chatter in Hollywood: Paulette Goddard is making another
trip to San Francisco to see Charlie Chaplin. The first
one was highly unsuccessful and he told her if she didn‘t wait
and make a picture with him that everything was over
between them. Paulette has waited for two years for Charlie to
write a screen play for her and she feels an opportunity
to make a picture with David Selznick is too important to be
overlooked. Her new contract is of five years duration.
She says she is not going to any more parties, the night clubs
will see her no no longer and that she is going
to seriously settle down and work hard to do justice
to the Scarlett role

& Charlie Chaplin Visits Salinas –
Then Disappears
Charlie Chaplin, he of the cane, big shoes and derby,
must like Salinas.
He was here Sunday, registered at the Hotel Cominos
and escaped hordes of autograph seekers who
make things non too quiet for a celebrity who is seeking
just that.
The famous film comedian toured the city during the
afternoon and evening and left with his destination
unannounced. He has been vacationing at Carmel and recently
sent $200 to the Salinas fund for the President Roosevelt
birthday observance program.

& Charlie Chaplin Has House
On Peninsula
Charlie Chaplin has taken the Monteagle home
at Pebble Beach for several weeks and with his servants
and friends he is enjoying a vacation there.
Driving a custom-built blue sedan, the famous actor
has caused a great deal of excitement throughout
the peninsula with his appearances. No definite announcement
of the guests in the party has been made.

„Completing the script on which he is working“
Editorial content. „Hot From Hollywood

„According to Catherine Hunter, Charlie Chaplin‘s efficient
publicity head, he will remain in San Francisco another
month completing the script on which he is working. Miss
Hunter says she is very sure he knew nothing about
Paulette Goddard‘s contract with David Selznick until he read
it in the newspapers – all of which, of course,
renews the rumor that Paulette and Charlie have reached
an understanding. Paulette goes to Florida and
Charlie remains here. Meanwhile she is being urged to work
hard to perfect herself for the role of Scarlett O‘Hara
and that certainly is enough to make any girl concentrate.“
Chaplin is working out the script of The Great Dictator
in the ‘Frisco area at Pebble Beach, Carmel.
It‘s Vivien Leigh, not Paulette Goddard, who will be
Scarlett O‘Hara in Gone With the Wind.
