INJUNCTION GRANTED
2,200,000 PAPERS BANNED CHARLIE CHAPLIN’S ACTION NEW YORK, June 6 i Charles Chaplin today obtained an 1 injunction against the distribution of 2,200,000 copies of Life magazine.! which contain a full-page picture of him as “The Dictator,” not yet authorised for publication. Judge Knox granted the injunction after the comedian brought a suit} for £20,000 against the publishers.! The judge ruled that 1,600,000 copies of the magazine already in the hands of newsagents might be sold, but the rest, printed but unshipped, must be scrapped. Chaplin’s case was that the photograph would interfere with the profits of the forthcoming film “The Dictator” by premature exploitation of the central character.
