„Not in“
Editorial content. „Bliss Is Myth
MILDRED HARRIS CHAPLIN lays bare her efforts
to reconcile film comedian. She suspects another woman
of weening his love.“
Title in a box, Mildred Harris Chaplin picture.
„By Universal Service.
LOS ANGELES, March 18. – ,I don‘t want to hold a man
that doesn‘t want to be held.‘
Mildred Harris Chaplin, whose matrimonial break with
Charlie Chaplin was revealed last night, used these
words as she told in detail the ups and downs of married life
with the famous film comedian.
Mrs. Chaplin made it plain that as far as she was
concerned, nuptial bliss is a myth.
Proceeds to Legal Battle
She laid bare her efforts to bring about a reconciliation
after Charlie‘s departure from their home at 670 South
Oxford street. And realizing this was impossible she told how
she had sought the aid of her attorney and of the
subsequent plans for legal action. Now that the secret is out,
Mrs. Chaplin asserts she will proceed with her plans
of battle. The opening of the legal tilt will depend largely on the
speed in which a picture on which Mrs. Chaplin is now
working, is completed for the screen.
While Mrs. Chaplin was telling her story, reporters were
busy hunting Charlie Chaplin, but inquiries at his
usual haunts brought forth the fact that Chaplin was ,not in.‘
Charlie Keeps Silent
At his studio it was declared he was out ,on location.‘ Arthur
Wright, Chaplin‘s attorney, refused to comment on the
case, other than to assert that he had been instructed by his
client to remain silent.
,I did all in my power to make Charlie happy,‘ said Mrs.
Chaplin. ,But it didn‘t matter. He wanted to go and
went. The next thing I knew he appeared at the house
unexpectedly with demands that I divorce him
or he would divorce me. I still could not understand and said
so. Then he told me he would give me $25,000 to go
to Nevada and obtain a decree.
,Of course, like any other woman, whose life has been
blameless and who is facing the loss of her husband,
I suspected there was another woman. Only time will prove
if this is true.‘“
