Hollywood, June 18 (AP). – Maurice Moscovitch, 68,
stage and screen character actor, died today
in a hospital. An operation was performed last Thursday.
Born in Odessa, Russia, Nov. 23, 1871,
Moscovitch made his stage debut there in 1885 in Yiddish
drama. He then toured Russia, Germany, Romania
and Austria, and made his first appearance in the United
States in New York in 1893.
In 1919, after 34 years of success on the Yiddish
stage, he made his English-speaking debut at Manchester,
England, as Shylock in the „Merchant of Venice.“
He continued in English parts, touring South Africa and
Australia, with frequent plays in London, until
1930, when he made his second debut here as Shylock.
Since 1936, he had devoted himself to the
movies. He appeared in „Winterset,“ „Lancer Spy,“ „Suez,“

Hollywood, June 18.
Charles Chaplin resumed production on his dictator
picture as result of Italy‘s entry into the European war.
Until Mussolini shifted to the Hitler side of the fence, Chaplin
held back the film rather than cause the United States
any diplomatic embarrassment.
Picture, dealing with Hitler and Mussolini, will probably
resume its original title, The Dictators. It is
stated for United Artists release in about two months.“
The Great Dictator world premiere is in New York Oct. 15, 1940
at the Capitol and Astor Theatres.
Capitol Theatre, 1645 Broadway (at 51st Street), New York.
Astor Theatre, 1531 Broadway (at 45th Street), New York.
