Discovering Chaplin
„Blocked out a lengthy feature article“
Editorial content. „Last year, when Charlie Chaplin
was in Europe, a magazine of large national circulation
got hot for a 50,000 word chapter story by Charlie
on observations while on his trip around the world. The
periodical sent a representative from New York
to Paris to close a deal with Chaplin. This was done,
with Carlyle Robinson, the comedian‘s press
agent, handling the details and obtaining a high per word
rate for Charlie. But soon after Chaplin returned
to Hollywood, Robinson was dropped from the payroll.
His claim that Charlie had promised him a cut
on the magazine article (still unwritten), was turned down.
So the press agent who had been with the comedian
for the greater part of 15 years is said to have blocked out
a lengthy feature article, Charlie Chaplin As I Knew
Him. The idea, it is understood, has already been accepted
for syndication in both England and the United States,
and a British publisher will bring it out later in book form.“
