„The whole thing was a hoax“

Editorial content. „Had ‘Em Page Charlie Chaplin.

      Louisville. – An unusual publicity affair for

Charles Chaplin was handled in Louisville, Saturday,

November 11, when Chaplin was paged through

all of the hotel lobbies, cabarets, etc. Manager Percy L. Smith,

of the Louisville Mutual office, gave out information

to the press that Chaplin was expected in Louisville, he having

an affair of the heart with a Kentucky belle, and the

newspapers fell for the publicity in great shape. While the whole

thing was a hoax it drew a great deal of attention to the

performer, not only through the hotels and cabarets, but through

the thousands who were reached through the press

which carried the articles.“
