The Great Dictator Clippings 310/369

George Tucker, Telegraph, Harrisburg, Pa., May 9, 1941.

Her Baby Is Her Career

      Dorothy Comingore, young star of Citizen Kane, is more

concerned about the welfare of her three-month-old

baby, Judith Melinda, than about her film career, despite

an avalanche of movie offers. The new Hollywood

acting sensation was first spotted by Charlie Chaplin in a U.C.L.A.

play. He offered her the job of scrub woman in his

Great Dictator, and wen Dorothy refused Chaplin stuck to his

original idea of giving the role to Paulette Goddard.

But when Orson Welles heard of Miss Comingore‘s turn-down

of the great Chaplin, he was impressed to the extent

of hiring her for his picture.

„He is a rabid baseball fan“

baseball fan.“
