NEWS FROM ABROAD.
Francesca Bertini, the famous Ital
ian screen actress, was married at
Naples on Monday to Paul Cartier, a
wealthy man living in Switzerland.
She has abandoned her profession as
an actress after making a fortune
estimated at 25,000,000 lire. Neopoli
tans say that they remember when
she was a laundress' assistant.
Germany has again beaten her film
"crowd" record. Only 4,000 supers

and some of them read Kipling, Tol

The west coast must 'be a rather dull
place these days with Doug and Mary,
Theda Eara, Charlie Chaplin and
Jack Dempsey all parading up and
down old Broadway. Chaplin is on
his way to Europe. He expects to
sail soon for England. He will visit
London, Paris Madrid and Turkey, rest
ing several months before returning to
these United States to start his next
picture. Charlie, by the way, says
his next picture will be filled with
pathos, not comedy, something on the
lines of "Pagliacci."
Mr. Chaplin's big .alary or his hard
work must worry him, for he has ac
cumulated a crop of gray hairs worthy
of any statesman or retired banker.
His smile, however, is" far from a wor
