Young, Nerve Specialist Called as He Breaks | Under Worry. NEW YORK, January Worry, the baker in whose oven many human ailments are browned, has hit Charles Spencer Chaplin with the custard pie of “nerves.” The funny man of the movies was | tucked into bed today and told to stay there and quit worrying. A nerve specialist gave the orders and | the world was told of them by Nathan Burkan, Chaplin’s attorney. It was also hinted that work on “The Circus,” Chaplin's latest film, might be stopped. That information was gleaned from Chaplin’s personal representative, Arthur Kelly. The United Artists Corporation already has spent $300,000 on the film, Kelly vouchsafed. Exhausted, Says Attorney. Announcement of Chaplin’s indis- position was given reporters who gathered at the offices, of United Artists' Corporation this morning. Chaplin was scheduled to give a sec- ond levee for newspaper men, at which he was to apswer questions about the divorce suit brought by his wife, Mrs. Lita Gray Chaplin Instead of the comedian the re- porters met Burkan, representing Chaplin in his $500,000 suit against the Picturial Review for damages al- leged to have been sustained through articles and advertisements. “Mr. Chaplin {s worn out and ex- hausted,” Burkan said. “He can’t See any one today.” Burkan did not disclose the name of the specialist who, he said, had ordered Chaplin to bed. Kelly said Chaplin was a great artist and, like all great artists, could not work when upset. Both agreed that Chap- lin had been “talking too mirch” and that the third version of his life would be made public only in answer to the other two—that by his wife in legal documents and that by Jim Tully, hebo author, In magazine articles. Collapses Under Ordeal. Chaplin, Burkan said, was stricken suddenly this morning. During the night the comedian had attended the performance of a revue. Chaplin col- lapsed, Burkan said, nd for a few minutes it seemed as if the thread which held him to life_might snap.” Then he recuperated. The nerve spe- cialist was summoned, Burkan said, and ordered Chaplin to bed. He is at Burkan's Fifth avenue home. “Chaplin,” Burkan said, “is of a melancholy temperament. Recent love - affairs have played havoc with his nerves. It seemed that this morning he felt all the impact of the blow that i)adlfalh'n on him, and he succumbed o i “He is of the type that commits!
