There is a good reason for this. Several producers have been subjected to law suits on charges of plaziarism, being accused of stealing ideas that had been submitted te them in all good faith. Charlie Chaplin was thus victimized by an author, who claimed that he had suggested the theme for “Shoulder Arms,” and who presented evidence (in the form of a rejeclion slip) to prove that his manuseript had been received and considered at she Chaplin studio. Those who know Chaplin realize that he probably never vagd the story in question. for he i not'one to so- licit or entertain ideas from outside sources.
