Charlie and publicist Jim Tully, during production of “The Gold Rush”, 1924.
I believe autograph reads:
“To Garrett Graham the world’s greatest promoter from the King of Laughter and his Secy of War Jim Tully 1924”.
Jim Tully became one of the first reporters to cover Hollywood. As a free-lancer he was not constrained by the studios and wrote about Hollywood celebrities
He wrote a series of articles printed in “New Movie Magazine” aptly titled - The Unknown Charlie Chaplin. Charlie tried to have them stopped to no avail.
