CHARLIE CHAPLIN, who celebrated his 58th birthday on April 16, has had an unparalleled career of more than 30 years on the screen. He is seen here in a scene from his latest film "Monsieur Verdoux," which he wrote and produced, besides taking the title role. Described as a "comedy of murders," the picture—his first since "The Great Dictator"— is said to be a satire on the life of Henri Landru, the notorious "bluebeard" murderer. In this film, which has already caused controversy among the critics, the public will see Chaplin minus his traditional moustache, baggy trousers and wobbly cane.
