CHARLIE CHAPLIN TO RETIRE.
FORTUNE OF £OOO,OOO PLUS ROYALTIES. Has Charlie Chaplin succeeded in shaking himself free from his contract to produce eight five-reel laugh-ter-makers, of which so far he has completed only five? It is reported that his famous studio has been leased for twelve months, at a rental of £IOOO per month, to Mr and Mrs Carter de I-faven. prominent in American stage and film circles. The separation from his wife, and the limelight that boats upon divorce proceedings in America are said to have shattered Charlie’s highly strung nervous system, and he is credited with the wish to retire from filmproduction. At any rate, he has acquired, on his own admission, a modest competence of £600,000, plus whatever royalties and rentals may bqpome due to him, and less the £40,000 alimony which the Court has granted to Mrs Chaplin, on condition that she does not use Chaplin’s name professionally.
