& NOT silent one night: After all Charlie Chaplin

has said against talkies, and after his recent

promise to build his own studio and make only silent pictures,

he stood in the lobby of the Chinese on the opening

night of Hell‘s Angels and declared for the benefit of all and

sundry that this picture had absolutely

converted him to sound!
