& Charlie Chaplin is constitutionally unhappy.

The wistfulness and pathos which have

endeared him to his screen public are not qualities that are

assumed for a motion picture rôle. They are

an expression of Charlie‘s own self. His intimate friends

will tell you that, even when he appears

to be happy, it is a happiness that has more than a touch

of sadness about it.

Editorial content. „Saturday Night

      Where do the stars go after they have drawn

      their Pay Checks? Evenings in Hollywood are a problem 

      sometimes“ (...)

      „A sign, ,Guests in Make-Up Welcome,‘ assures a movie

clientèle at all times, but on Saturday noon a special

movie luncheon, referred to as the Dress Strut, brings out

all the new sport clothes and samples of what the

well-dressed man will wear. The room is so crowded with

people there to stare and be stared at that Charlie

Chaplin, arriving late one Saturday noon, found it impossible

to make the way to his reserved table in a far corner,

and so got down on his hands and knees and crawled under

the tables until he reached his seat!“ (...)

      „Every Friday night the Hollywood Legion Stadium

is packed with ardent devotees of the manly art

of boxing. Conway Tearle, Richard Dix, Harrison Ford,

Creighton Hale, always have ringside seats when

they are in town, and Viola Dana and Shirley Mason are

heard but not seen – if they know in advance when

the flashlight is going to be taken! After Chaplin‘s fistic

encounter with Mr. Julien, the oil magnate, he was

given a tremendous ovation when he entered the Stadium.“ (...)
