_“Brilliancy”--and Stars_
_It happened at the luncheon table at the Astor Hotel, New York._
_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._
_For a moment, strange to say, film talk had stopped, and politics and
the coming Presidential election was the topic of conversation._
_Said Jimmie Young urbanely and smiling addressing Mildred:_
“_Are you going to vote?_”
_“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.”_
