“CITY LIGHTS”
Charles Chaplin Film Delayed TO SPEAK, OR NOT . . . Film fame is ephemeral. Ana eclipse threatens even Charlie Chaplin, unless his latest film is quickly shown to the world and re-establishes his fame. The film is called “City Lights.” Chaplin, who makes his own films, has been years in its production. There have been certain domestic adventures in the Chaplin household which have delayed the completion of “City Lights.” There have been, moreover, certain abortive attempts to fit the picture with sound effects, writes an English reviewer. The problem of the talkers, indeed, became so urgent that at one time Chaplin was suborned into endeavouring to make everyone in his picture talk except himself. And still the picture is unfinished. Just recently some urgent talking 1 / been done by Chaplin’s New York agents. And “City Lights,” I now hear privately from Hollywood, will be completed within the next two months. Chaplin, also, it is said, will come to Europe early in June to attend the opening of his picture.
