Publicity suit shows Chaplin’s star marketing flair
In London a Westminster County Court settlement between Chaplin and former secretary Miss May Shepherd revealed how Chaplin’s European tour for City Lights was a calculated publicity drive. She testified the actor staged visits to his old school and the Old Bailey, while Premier Ramsay MacDonald was invited to a dinner Chaplin left London for Berlin before. The judge admonished courtroom procedure as Chaplin urged peace with the Prime Minister after the case. Alistar Mac Donald, Ramsay MacDonald’s son, attended as an interested spectator.

Unhappy Stage Year in 1931 on Broadway
In 1931 Broadway offered few hits with only about twenty shows totaling a slim season. Electra and The Barretts of Wimble Street led. Mourning Becomes Electra drew acclaim and a Midlands touring push. Private Lives and Running at Vienna stood out, while Five Star Final spotlighted sensational journalism. Music shows were scarce with The Band Wagon and The Cat and The Fiddle by Max Gordon, George White's Scandals, The Laugh Parade, and Of Thee I Sing closing the year with satire.
