& Chaplin Will Use Sound Effects Only

      in New Film (...)

      Charlie Chaplin will use sound and effects on the next

picture he is to make, „City Lights.“ It will not be a

talker, but sound and effect devices of various forms are

to be used to emphasize action.

      Chaplin is experimenting on the value of sound and

effect before he decides as to what contrivances

he will use. If he uses the same one as United Artists, the

production of the sound and effect scenes will take

place at the United Artists‘ studios instead of a this own

studio on Sunset boulevard. He is still working

on the story and contemplates beginning shooting

about July 1.

      Those so far scheduled for the cast in support are Myrna

Kennedy, Henry Bergman and Harry Crocker, Jr. All appeared

in „The Circus.“ 

(...) Variety, May 30, 1928.

      Virginia Cherrill will be the leading woman in City Lights,

      not Merna Kennedy.


„A song by Irving Berlin is being considered“

      Charlie Chaplin will begin production on City Lights

within two weeks. Merna Kennedy and Harry Crocker

are in the cast. This is an original story, written, acted and

directed by Mr. Chaplin. A movietone of a song

by Irving Berlin is being considered by Mr. Chaplin.“
