Autograph Hunters Dominate Stage Door Scene in New York
A stage doorkeeper notes that stars ignore love sick fans while autograph seekers swarm Broadway doors.

Chaplin once signed a guest book at Ralph Barton's home, then quipped a playful note. The collection includes Diamond Jack, Alstine Demarest, Kitty Rhodes, Boone the hypnotist, and Dr. Leopold’s magic eye salve.
