Dance Suite Vs. Chaplin
Charles De Haven, dancer and writer, filed suit Monday
-
(31)in N. Y. federal court against Charles Chaplin
and United Artists Corp. seeking an injunction, accounting
of profits and damages charging that „The Great
Dictator“ infringes on a dance routine he created. The dance,
written in 1920 in conjunction with Fred Nice, who
has assigned his rights, is called „Mulligan and Mulligan,
from the West in Follies of 1776.“ De Haven and
Nice were a standard act in the 20s.
The part claimed to be stolen is called „Comedy Balloon
Dance,“ and it is alleged that Chaplin‘s routine
with a balloon uses the poses, gestures and mimicries
of plaintiff‘s dance.

defendants yesterday in an infringement suit filed

of 1776. De Haven states that he has performed this dance
in theatres throughout the country, and seeks
an injunction and damages.“
