„Out of a clear sky the name came to him“
Editorial content. „,City Lights,‘ Title of
Chaplin‘s New Comedy
By LOUELLA O. PARSONS
Motion Picture Editor Universal Service.
LOS ANGELES, May 18. – You would never suspect
a small thing like a title would keep half of Hollywood
guessing. Charlie Chaplin just couldn‘t find a name that
conveyed the idea of his next comedy and he had
all his friends offering suggestions. Joseph Schenck came
through with one. Sam Goldwyn offered something
else and even Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks offered
to christen the unnamed child before they sailed for
Europe. But all offers were rejected.
Charlie has his own ideas. Out of a clear sky the name
came to him and he was as much overjoyed as if
an unknown relative had suddenly died and left him a fortune.
He is calling his next comedy City Lights. It is a story
by Chaplin and it is promised to the fans for November.“
