Gannett papers now serve state capitals as far apart as Hartford and Honolulu. Last year was the company's biggest ever for acquisitions: 17 dailies for a total of $130 million, mostly in Gannett stock. This year the group has already paid $14 million for the Nashville, Tenn., Banner (circ. 97,800), and next month plans to take over the El Paso Times (59,348) for an estimated $20 million.

Here the Tramp criss-crosses paths with the beautiful girl and the eccentric millionaire. She thinks that Chaplin must be wealthy as well as kind--after all, she's heard him getting out of a limousine. Smitten by love, he can't bring himself to explain that...
