| "The Big Three" in Charlie's new Rolls Royce. Mary puts on a brave face. |
After several months traveling in Europe, Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks were back in California. "Although all sizes and varieties of machines were drawn up for the purpose of taking Douglas and Mary back to Hollywood," the
Los Angeles Times reported, "Charlie Chaplin, fairly oozing pride in a new blue roadster, literally pushed them into it. Mary, plainly hesitant at risking her life to Charlie's driving, kept remonstrating, 'But Charlie, are you sure you can drive?' The famous comedian, frowning at her lack of faith, merely shoved in the clutch and they were off. At a late hour last night no casualties had been reported, so it is assumed that Charlie can drive."
