& SPRING IS HERE

      ON CHAPLIN LOT

      Charlie‘s Gray Hairs Turn Black Again – But Only

      Under Dye‘s Magic

      First signs of spring were noticed in Hollywood when Charlie Chaplin, comedian, appeared in his customary haunts,

minus the gray hairs which have characterized him now for

some time.

      The famous Chaplin curls are black again.

      But there is a catch in it. Charlie‘s

friends say it is just for his picture, „The Circus,“ and that the gray

hairs will be back again as soon as the dye wears off.

      They say Charlie tried using mascara on his hair to blacken

it, but that the strenuous work in „The Circus“ made the

mascara run down on his face, and that he finally resorted

to dye.
