„I never discuss my personal affairs for publication“

Editorial content. „IF YOU WANT TO

      Get There

      You‘ll stop, look and listen to the most daring woman

      in Hollywood. Her name is Paulette Goddard

      BY KAY BRYAN

      SOME people say it is beauty that counts the most

in Hollywood. Some say it is dramatic talent. Some, sex appeal.

But there is a certain young lady who is all of a sudden

going places, and going places fast, who could, if she wanted to,

tell you a little secret of success which beats the rest all hollow.

      Referring to Paulette Goddard.“ (...)

      „The eventual outcome was that he put her into Modern

Times, where she was good, but nothing cataclysmic.

Meanwhile, she became – or did not become – Mrs. Charlie

Chaplin and for the past five years has been subjected

to the most anomalous, the most trying, the most (you would

think) heart-breaking situation in which a woman could

find herself. But has it got her down?

      Quite obviously, no. Instead, she seems to have turned

the mystery of her relationship with Charlie Chaplin

to her own advantage.“ (...)

      „There is no apology in her. There is little humility.

You ask her, as a reporter, about her status in the Chaplin

household and she picks you up and sets you down.

      ,I never discuss my personal affairs for publication,‘

she says.“ (...)

      „And before Miss Would-Be Louvette knew what

she was doing, she was out of the costume and

hunching in something else. And Miss Paulette Goddard was scrambling into the outfit and racing off to the office

of C. B. De Mille, producer of North West. Arriving in his

outer office, she told the secretary, demurely, ,Please

say that Louvette is here.“ (...)

      Three of five photos.

      Third. „Paulette and her reputed husband, Charles

Chaplin. Ask her about her status in the Chaplin menage and

you‘ll end up apologizing to her.“

      Fourth. „Biggest modern film gamble: Chaplin‘s

The Great Dictator.“

      Fifth. „Subjected in the most trying gossip re the Chaplin

situation for the past five years, Paulette deftly turned

the situation to her advantage. She gets another publicity gold

ring in The Great Dictator – a co-starring role with

Chaplin himself, first of his leading ladies to achieve that honor.“
