MR. CHAPLIN'S GRAND TOUR
(Received 23rd March, 2 p.m.) PARIS, 22nd March. ■Mr. Charles Chaplin's amazing tour of the capitals of Europe culminated in a boisterous reception at the Gara de Lyons on his arrival from Venice. A policeman had to rescue the comedian from • clamouring thousands and carry him bodily from the platform. The1 police had literally to fight off the admirers, and Chaplin was thrown- bodily; into a waiting motor-car, which 'scattered the crowds. Charlie looked pal« and worried. Crowds lined the route, shouting "Vive Chaplin." , The "Morning Post's" correspondent says that Mr. Chaplin is lunching with M. Briand to-morrow, when he will be decorated with the.Cross,of the Legion of Honour. On Wednesday h» will be the guest of the Duke of Westminister at a boar hunt.
