actually get going until he‘s been on a picture six

months. Other day they did a scene with Paulette, who carried

a basket of washing on her head. She asked extras

what they thought of it. They said: „Good.“ Charlie said: „Lousy.“

Chaplin‘s Hinkle

Editorial content. „Starr Pens Chaplin Article

      The American Hebrew is going in for a philosophic type

of motion picture coverage. Its editors say that the

readers‘ reaction (which takes in many members of the clergy

of many denomination) to Martin Starr‘s 10,000-word

article on Warner‘s Sons of Liberty induced them to ask for

a similar philosophically-patriotic treatment on

Charlie Chaplin. The result is Starr‘s article, ,Chaplin‘s Hinkle,‘

which breaks in the issue of Oct. 27. It deals

in great measure with Chaplin‘s present production

before his cameras.“
