father's petition CHAPLIN DOES NOT WANT BOYS TO FOLLOW IN FATHER'S FOOTSTEPS divorced wife's ideas
— By Telegraph — Copyright).
Rec. Aug. 28, 5.5 p.m. Los Angeles, Aug. 27. Charlie Chaplin appeared in the Supreme Court to-day and asked that his divorced wife, Lita Grey Chaplin be restrained from presenting his sons, Charles and Sydney, aged seven and six years, in moving pictures. It developed that she eontracted for both to appear in a series of films receiving 35,000 dollars, of which the boys would receive 20,000 dollars. "I believe the children should be permitted to grow up normally. I see no reason why they should be compelled to choose their profession at this young age. I think they will suffer from undue publicity, but I will consent if they want to enter pictures when they are older," said Chaplin. It is revealed that 200,000 dollars were settled on the children at the time of the divorce, and under an agreement with Mrs Grey, they would not be "hired out or employed" without the written consent of both parents.
