Charlie Chaplin. Will Rogers’ short news dispatch, which is read daily by millions in scores of newspapers, was recently concerned with Charles Chaplin. Rogers said: “Was down last night with Charlie Chaplin, listening to our friend Will Durant, the philosopher, talk on world economics. He is the greatest economist in the world. Every nation has lost its export trade. Yet, stop and think of it, Charlin manufactures the only article in the world that hasn’t depreciated. The world is his market the same as before the depression, but he has never let the supply equal the demand. While the world’s big industrialists were greedy Charlie never went in for mass production. Seems odd that a comedian can do what the governments are not smart enough to do.” * Chaplin is now hard at work on his latest film “The Masses,” which will be released through United Artists.
Unseen Faces, There are quite a number of people who earn money on the screen, bit whose faces you never see. They are the owners of well-modulated voices, shapely hands, trim apkles, and legs. The owner of a pair of really snappy ankles may earn 15 dollars; a good off-screen speaking voice is worth from 75 to 100 dollars a day, while a pair of graceful hands will sometimes bring a cheque for 20 dollars. Randolph Scott Wins Lead. After testing many Hollywood leading actors for the principal male role in “So Red the Rose,” Paramount has given the part to Randolph Scott, definitely establishing the fact that the popular actor is out of the “western class of films, in which he has been featured for the past two years. Scott joins the cast headed by Margaret %ullavan and Pauline Lord.
