Meets Charlie Chaplin and Company in Hawaii
By H. H. Van Loan“ (...)
I had meant to tell the honest truth about the most popular
stars, as far as Honolulu was concerned, but just as I
started to write this story who breezes in but the incomparable
Charlie Chaplin. He blew in on the Matsonia with a lot
of funny clothes, Edna Purviance and Rob Wagner, the artist,
who has been contributing screen stuff in the Saturday
Evening Post for the past few months.
Charlie was nestled up in a big chair near the entrance
to the dining-room, practically unknown and unobserved
by the other guests in the lobby. To my question as to what inspired
him to come so far, in view of the fact there was a German
raider somewhere in the Pacific, he replied: „I just dropped in for
coal and a game of golf. It‘s som-me town, isn‘t it?“ (...)
And the next moment I saw my prophecy realized when two
young girls who happened to be passing remarked, both
at the same time: „There is Charlie Chaplin!“ (...) Before Charlie
Chaplin had been in town an hour everybody knew
he was there, and he proved conclusively to me who was
the most popular star in Honolulu, and his timely arrival
saved him from ranking second in popularity among the fans.

„The care this city gives the Waikiki beach“
Editorial content. „Charley Chaplin has given his opinion of the
care this city gives the Waikiki beach. The opinion
is general. The beach is in the same class with Kalakaua
avenue of some years ago. The community did not
really get to work for improvement until most every prominent
citizen of the globe had traveled over it and wondered
why a town that calls itself alive should allow such a condition
to prevail more than a week.“
