3m 27s
On February 5, 1919, Hollywood veterans Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, D. W. Griffith, and Mary Pickford officially founded the distribution company United Artists Corporation. Presented here is rare footage shot the next day at Chaplin Studios, where the group restaged the contract signing, and later at Griffith’s studio, where they posed for the press. A WOMAN OF PARIS would be Chaplin’s first film distributed by United Artists.
