“THE DICTATOR”
CHARLES CHAPLIN TO TALK NEW CHARACTER CONCEIVED Charles Chaplin has commenced actual production on his first all-talk-ing picture for United Artists, tentatively titled “The Dictator.” In this film, which has been conceived and written by Chaplin himself, the comedian will play not only his old, but also a new character, one which will be seen and heard for the first time. Preliminary work has commenced at the Chaplin studios. Additional sound equipment is being installed, the stages are being enlarged and studio personnel increased to accommodate the crowds to be used in many mass scenes. Negotiations are under way to lease considerable acreage in San Fernando, or some other suitable locale, for exteriors.
