LUCRATIVE FILM OFFER FOR CHARLIE CHAPLIN’S APPEARANCE IN TALKIES
Charlie Chaplin has been offered £200,000 for six weeks’ work making a circus story talkie. If he accepts he will appear in a new role, minus the world-famous boots, hat and cane. Recently Chaplin declared he would never appear in a talking picture as he considered such films were ruining motion picture art. His declaration created wide interest in the moving picture world, and caused a storm of controversy to rage round the talkies.
