& Reginald Gardiner is much too charming to play
a disagreeable storm trooper – but when I tell
you he‘s been signed to play a sympathetic captain of the
goose-steppers in „The Dictators,“ Charlie Chaplin‘s
picture, you‘ll realize there‘s plenty of opportunity for his comedy.
Personally, I hope that this is the turn toward bigger
and better things for Reggie – for he hasn‘t been getting
the breaks he deserves. Speaking of „The Dictators,“
Charlie Chaplin and Paulette took to the high seas on their
yacht to brush up on their lines. Paulette already
knows her dialogue – and Charlie‘s going into retirement
to master his before facing the camera Tuesday.

& Charles Chaplin was reported continuing production plans
for his $1,500,000 picture, „The Dictator,“ in spite
of Europe‘s growing war conflagration. It was pointed out
that the picture faced probable bans in Germany and
other dictator-governed nations from the start. The picture
is scheduled to start the latter part of this week.
