& PLAN SCIENTIFIC PICTURE PLANT IN
LOS ANGELES
San Diego, Cal., Aug. 26.
F. R. Edwards, a fellow of the Royal Geographic Society
of England, has been in consultation with the Chamber
of Commerce with a proposition to erect a motion picture plant
in which would be taken pictures of surgical operations,
botanical life and other things of a scientific nature, as well as
historical and geographical pictures for colleges and
universities. According to his plans a $75,000 plant would
be erected.
Charles Chaplin, Edna Purviance and Marie Doro have been
among the well-known stars who have been recent
guests at the U. S. Grant Hotel and Hotel del Coronado.
Miss Doro and her husband were down for a rest,
while Chaplin and party came here to film several scenes
in one of his new pictures.

„Brings a moiety of thought into his nonsense“
Editorial content. „AN APPROACHING PAGEANT
Beautiful Symbolic Masque to be Staged This Month in Wonderful
Natural Theater, Amid Dreamy Hills of Del Mar
BY HENRY CHRISTEEN WARNACK“ (...)
„Everybody is having his say about Charlie Chaplin and
I refuse to be left out of the reckoning. Mr. Chaplin is not
a slapstick comedian, however much he may resort to slapstick methods and plotless plays. If he is an acrobat on the
screen, he is a thinker when not performing. He has almost
a melancholy genius and is perhaps the most serious
humorist in America. He is terribly in earnest about fun, and when
he contrasts the ludicrous with the beautiful and brings
a moiety of thought into his nonsense he will give us a quality of comedy that only an inspired and faithful artist can hope
to produce.“
