Sunday, March 22nd: Charlie, Paulette, and Alta are the guests of the Sultan of Johore.
I could find no details about this visit. It was mentioned only in passing in a Singapore newspaper. There are a number of photos in the Chaplin Archive that are labeled "Johore"* and in some of them Paulette and her mother are wearing different outfits, so they could have had more than one visit with Sultan Ibrahim, including during their return to Singapore in April.
This was the gang's last day in Singapore. Tomorrow they they head to Java.
Stay tuned for more in Day By Day: 1936
*Johore (or Johor) is a state in southern Malaysia linked to Singapore by causeway.
