CHAPLIN SAYS THE
" ESSANAY IS BLUFFING
e Claims They Have Only Two
Unreleased Chaplin Pictures,
lie Ought to Know
I '' '
by the Photoplay Editor
tiharjes Chnplln In on hid way to Califor
nia to lMc charge of the preliminary work
matting: ready hi atudlos In Los Angelei.
Atr. Chaplin left Netf York Thursday
ott the Twentieth Century, concluding the
Broadway nojourn which brought him the
World's greatest nalary, the Mutual' con
tract for 670,000 n year.
"In departing, I want to emphatically
deny that the Usaanay Company In hold
ing a largo stock of unreleased dims of
tny productions with which to flood tho
market," said Mr. Chaplin. "There aro
to come from this company only two 2-recl
reteafieq, 'Carmen,' and another which has
had tho working tltlo of TsHce.'
"the circulated reports that a flood of
Chapllrt film was to bo turned loose on
the market have absolutely no foundation
in fact, and the spreading of BUch gossip
cart do no ono any good.
"I am gtad to bo on my way to Call-
fornfa. I'-6 had a bully tlmo In New York,
and I have enjoyed every minute of It,
hut now I feel like going back to work
, ntfaln.
"As I havo so often said, I nave rcit
that this Was to be my big year. I
know It Is going to he.
"t am pleased with tho terms of this
contract beyond tho somewhat Important
financial return. It means that my efforts
will get before all the people, that my
pictures will havo adequate distribution
through the Mutuat's wonderful machine
of OS exchanges.
"It fa tho expert estimate that not less
than 250.000 persons a day will see me
In tho films distributed by the Mutual.
This ought to bo art nnswer to some of
tha folks who mako snippy remarks about
my salary. If a Broadway star or an
artist of tho opera can get, say, from
one to two thousand dollars a night, as
Borne of them do, for an appearance at a
theatre, appearing before that small audl
ence at a theatre, why may not tho man
who can reach a quarter of a million a
night recolvo n commensurato salary7
JAnywnjc. each party to this contract Is
satisfied with tho bargain, and wo know
that It Is a fair one."
Gall Kane, who recently was nenrly
Xrozcn to death while filming "Her God,"
wl(l be seen In a new picture, "Tho Twin
Sister," on tho Equitable) program.
Tho nexti picture In which Francis X.
Bushman will appear Is "Tho Wall Be
tween." It will be released on the Metro
program.
Henry B. Walthall, co-star with Edna
llayo In the Essanny series, "The Strange
Caso of Mary Page," never signs hlB name
Without tho "B," Tho reason? Well,
there are 13 letters In "Henry Walthall"
And the additional "B." drives away tho
bad luck. Mr. Walthall isn't superstitious,
but ho doesn't bollevo in taking any
chances.
With the close of the engagement of
"Prohibition," tho Opera House has closed
for one week while repairs aro being made.
The reopening will bo under new manage
ment, which promises entirely new nnd
novel stylo of motlon-plcturo entertain
ments. March 20 is announced by tho
management an tho clato when the newer
policy will go Into elTect, and tho largest
film-producing firm In tho country, which
has recently signed up the highest priced
star In the world, will probably first show
their product' to I'hiladelphtans at this

Further consideration of the various
items of tho $86,800,000 municipal loan
will be taken up by members of Councils'
Finance Committee aba meeting scheduled
for tomorrow afternoon. According to.
Chairman Gaffney, a thorough understand'
lng of all the Items will be arrived at nnd
every effort will be made to remove the
snag Incident to the finding of a $210,000
Item to repay Senator Vare fbr work dona
prior to 1913 in League Island Park and
for the grading of Government avenue.
Tho Vare item appears In a provision
of $1,250,000 for tho Department of Pub
lic Works which Is so worded as to pro
vldo payment for work "heretofore done."
Chairman Gaffney In reply to criticism of
this Item will make the statement that
Senntor Vare will first have to prove the
Justness of his claim before any bill Is
Introduced In Councils to provldo pay
ment after tho passago of tho loan. The
Item, ho says, Is In no way defective.
Should Senator Varo fall to have (tho nec
essary legislation passed or fall to secure
a verdict In n court of law, tho money In

be closely scrutinized at tho meeting to
morrow Just what will bo dono with tho
trmislt Item has not been determined, but
Chairman Gaffney asserts thnt tho Item
in no way affects tho controversy ovor
plans and should bo Included together with
tho estimates of other departments with
out question.

HUNT BOYS WITH 'TUMMY ACHE'
Cops Try to Find Robbers Who Raided
Candy Cases in "Flvo and
Ten" Storo
Pollco of tho 26th nnd York streets sta
tion today are hunting for boys suffer
ing from "tummy ache" In tho firm belief
that search along this line will result In
tho rounding up of tho thieves who rnlded
tho candy nnd jewelry counters of the All
man Flvo-and-Ten-Ccnt Storo, 1601 Sus
quehanna avenue.
When A. I. Hpstcln, a clerk, opened the
storo this morning, ho quickly discovered
that all was not well with tho establish
ment. Tho floor was littered with candy
nnd many pounds of gum drops, peanut
brittle, molasses taffy nnd other varletlci
of mvoots were missing. Glass showcases
woro covered with tho daubs of sticky
fingers, giving ovldenco of a wholesalo
candy orgy. Flfteon dollnrs was miss
ing from a ensh register, and many
"sparklors" wero absent from their accus
tomed places In tho 10-ccnt jewelry case.
Tho looters gained ontranco to the
storo by crawling up a ratnspout In tho
rear nnd climbing through tho window
of a storeroom.
"It Is tho work of boys," snld Samuel
Altman, jiroprlotor. "It looks ns though
that, aftor they had eaten all the candy
they could hold, they had stuffed their
pockots with gum drops and other
sweets."
Acting Detectives 'Williams and Wch
ardson aro making tho rounds of homes
In search of "tummy ncho" sultorcrB. This
Is tho second tlmo that the Altman storo
has been robbed wltMn two years.
