Rumors which have emanated from different sources, however, have persisted to such an extent that a/ denial from Chaplin is forthcoming. | That Chaplin will direct Mary Plck-‘ ford in a production, a photoplay of the London slums, will never ma- terialize. ' Charlie wants it known' that he is back in comedy, and will continue to portray his famous char- acter of old, that which brought him fame and fortune. He is his own di- rector, and will always produce com- edles for the masses. While a Chap- lin unit for producing dramatic pho- toplays may be organized under his supervision, Charlie will never desert | comedies to direct others, nor will he | appear in Shakespearean roles, as has | been so foolishly reported in the| press. 1 He is not cngaged to Estelle Tay- | for, s has been rumored, nor-is he | engaged to any of the fair sex, fa- mmous or otherwise.
