In reckoning up these charges you must not only take into There are with most consideration the initial cost of the set. sets working in this humid climate, low insulation breakdowns which are difficult and expensive to repair. There are renewals of valves. With the usual set there is an aerial and lead-in- to erect and maintain. The current consumption on an A.C. set, too, is not negligible: if you have a battery set the charges for battery replacements are often higher.

Charlie Chaplin at Work on New Colour Used For

Bridge Dress. "Hush Hush" Picture

SCRIPT LOCKED UP The mystery of Charlie Chaplin's picture, now in the making, is still being carefully preserved.

There is more in this than the eccentricity of a Garbo, or the desife to arouse popular curiosity, In the past Chaplin's pictures have taken anything from 18 months to two years to make, and by the time they were finished some of the ideas had long since been stolen by other producers and used on the

screen.

This time Chaplin is taking no risks (says the Daily Telegraph.) The script the first he has ever used, the other stories having been shot bit by bit, or, as the trade says, "off the cuff”-in locked up in the company's vault ench night, and even the title has kept a secret. The only official information is that on the studio's schedule:-

Production N. 5.

Cast: Charlie Chaplin, Paulette Goddard,

Director: Charlie Chaplin. Original screen play, by Charlie Chaplin.

Producer: Charlie Chaplin.

Certain other facts, however, are already known. Though other pros ducers have doubted the possibility i of Chaplin alone preserving silence
