Charlie Chaplin, in Swiss Hideaway,
Playing Part of Man Who Doesn't Care
By ROBERT MUSEL
United Press Correspondent
Corsier, Switzerland (U.R)
Charlie Chaplin said he didn't
want to talk to me and, after
thinking it over, I decided I
couldn't blame him. His present
and perhaps greatest role, is the
kind of real life part that is
strictly for audiences and not
for critics.
He is playing the part of the
man who doesn't care.
The audiences, his friends and
neighbors in this mountain area
above lovely Lake Leman, have
been completely enchanted by
the characterization. How happy
and gay -and satisfied is Charles,
they say, and how he delights
in taking a basket down the
slope to Vevy and shopping
among the peasants.
Sad Look Sometimes
But how sad he is sometimes,
said a more perceptive friend.
And how often he looks from
his white colonnaded Manoir
du Ban across to the snow-capped
peaks of the Haute Savoie
in France and far, far beyond
them perhaps to Hollywood and
the happy, rewarding years in
America.
Charlie was more deeply hurt
than his pride would ever per
mit him to admit when he re
linquished his status as an Am
erican resident. So, because
work is a soother and healer, he
has plunged furiously into a new
film which he is beginning to
feel may be in the tradition of
his greatest successes.
The taxi driver looked at me
with sudden respect when I an
nounced I wanted to go to Man
oir du Ban. But, when we got
there, at the doorway was a
white-coated butler saying ap
ologetically that Monsieur had
suddenly plunged into work.
Stiff Note Expresses Regret
I sent in a stiff note express
ing regret that I had once cried
so hard my mother was forced
to take me to the Bronx, N. Y.
premiere of "The Kid." Chap
lin's secretary, Mrs. Eileen Bur
ney, indicated Chaplin felt he
had been roughly handled by
the press recently in . a. story
about-having a tantrum because
brown tiles arrived for his
swimming pool instead of blue
ones.
I gathered too that the screen
play needed urgent attention
because the plot still lacked a
happy (or sad) ending. The story
thus far concerns a king in a

South American country who is
forced to abdicate by opposi
tion to his plans for raising the
standard of living. He is exiled
to Luasanne, "the city of kings,"
and there among other exiled
and abdicated royalty he falls
in love with a young woman.
It doesn't take too much
straining to see the parallel
Chaplin intends between his own
position and that of the king.
This is his present writing
quandary: Should the king at
tempt to return to his country,
giving up his love for duty? Or
should he stay in Lausanne and
become as devoted a husband
as he was a king.
Children's Toys Scattered
Around Chaplin's own house
were scattered the toys of his
five children by Oona O'Neill,
daughter of the late playwright,
Eugene O'Neill. Michael, ( 9,
goes to the local school; Geral
dine, 8, to a Catholic school in
Lausanne; Josephine, 5, to a
school in Montreux. Victoria, 4,
and Eugene, 2, stay home.
Chaplin is the subject of many
anecdotes among his admiring
neighbors. They tell of a Sunday
dinner party when his new but
ler brought in a dish of cabbage.
Charlie immediately assumed
the furtive demeanor of "the
tramp." As soon as the butler
disappeared, he dumped the
cabbage into a flower pot.
"I hate the stuff," he confid
ed, "but I don't want to hurt
his feelings."
Everybody laughed. But it
must have been a pretty faint
echo of the millions who used
to laugh in the long ago.
QUICK DESCENT
Lafayette, Ind. (U.R) Stan
Davenport didn't have a chance
to answer when Mrs. Cora M.
Hay, 79, solicited church dona
tions at his kitchen door. She
posed the question, stepped
through the doorway and fell
out of sight down a basement
stairway. She was treated at a
hospital and released.
New Era in Oregon
Tuberculosis Control
Portland (U.R) A new era
in tuberculosis control has dawn
ed in Oregon, according to Dr. J.
Arthur Myers, professor of medi
cine at University of Minnesota
Medical School.
Dr. Myers spoke yesterday to
about 500 delegates to the annual
convention of the Oregon Tuber
culosis and Health Association.
The state's accomplishment's
in tuberculosis control were
"phenomenal," the doctor said.
He said Oregon's tuberculosis
problem was limited "to those
Dersons now harboring tubercle
bacilli."
The new era demands refine
ment in tracking down tubercle
bacilli and keeping them "cor
alled," Dr. Myers said, he said it
would require more funds and
more workers than before.
POLICE PRAISED
Edmonton, Alta. (U.R) James
V. Tracy bore no grudge against
police when he was fined $100
for driving while impaired. He
told the court: "I appreciate the
fact that the police in Edmon
ton are doing a great job and
arrested me. I was in no condi
tion to drive and might have
caused trouble. I hope they will
keep up the good work."
DOmCET RETIRED
Venice, Italy (U.R) Baron,
the donkey who apeared with
Gina Lollobrigida in the movie
"Bread, Love and Dreams," wai
retired from motion pictures to
day to the comparative peace of
a pasture. The animal's han
dlers said since his rise to star
dom Baron has become "neu
rotic, bad-tempered and temperamental."
Portland (U.R) Reed col
lege has announced appointment
of Raymond R. Brown, Port
land, and William C. Schilthuis,
New York, to the board of trustees.
