Trade paper critics and other film folk were gathered around the festive board, prior to viewing the latest picture with Mildred Harris Chaplin starred.
The fair Mildred naturally was present.

“Vote?” gushed the fair one vacantly, a tiny frown indicating deep—er——mental effort. “Vote? What on?”
And the orchestra softly played “Asleep in the Deep.”
