Things are not going well between George and his wife. She's becoming a little too skilled at defacing his pictures.
Things between George and his dog, on the other hand, are just as swell as always.
Working from home, George taps away furiously on his typewriter. He's giving away personal checks like they grow on trees.
The checks are to fund his new film, Tears of Love, directed by, produced by, and starring: George Valentin. It's a jungle-adventure-romance type of movie, silent of course.
He writes a gazillion more checks.
Tears of Love is set to premiere on October 25. Unfortunately, that's also the release date of Peppy Miller's new film, Beauty Spot, a talkie (shout out to George, who invented Peppy's beauty spot).
The papers quote George's sentiment that talkies are "not serious" and promote Peppy as the new "sound of love."
