Mildred Harris
If Miss Chaplin had no other claim to fame than being
Mrs. Charlie Chaplin, that alone would make her
of international interest. Mildred was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming,
and started her screen career as a child
in Thomas Ince‘s On the Firing Line in the old Kay-Bee
days. After that Miss Harris was with Ince
and Griffith ultimately reaching stardom at Universal.

& Another Chaplin Contract
That is a new contract for Mrs. Charles Chaplin,
nee Mildred Harris. The little girl who became
the wife of the world‘s greatest comedian is here shown
with Louis B. Mayer, looking over the papers
by which – when she signed her signature – she became
a Mayer star – with a bonus of $100,000. The
new Mayer star will be presented as Mildred Harris Chaplin.
This picture was taken shortly before the birth
of the short-lived little son.

„Pleaded that his private life be not invaded“
Editorial content. „Chaplin Enraged by ,Publicity‘
The film colony was given no end of excitement by the
stories about the attempted adoption by Mildred
Harris Chaplin of one of the triplets of a Los Angeles mother
who had been deserted by her husband before
their birth, leaving her penniless. All the papers carried
stories about the fair Mildred‘s and the funny
Charlie‘s desire to adopt the boy, although Charlie
appeared more or less as ,support.‘ Finally,
after columns had been printed, a letter signed ,Charlie Chaplin‘
appeared in one of the local papers denouncing the
stories as ,disgusting‘ press agentry on the part of someone
in the Mildred Harris Chaplin company. In the letter
he said there was never any intention to adopt the baby, and
pleaded that his private life be not invaded. Of course,
there was no statement forthcoming from the Louis B. Mayer
studio, where Mrs. Chaplin works.“
