Charlie Chaplin: FBI File for "White Slave Traffic Act" Investigation Lengthy carbon copy report prepared by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and submitted to the U.S. Attorney in Los Angeles, 42 pages, 8 x 10,5m November 9, 1943. The header notes: "Title: Charles Spencer Chaplin; Mary Louise Gribble, with aliases: Joan Barry, Joan Berry, Mary Louise Berry, Joan Barratt, Mary L. Barratt, Joanne Berry, JoAnne Berry—Victim. Character of Case: White Slave Traffic Act." The synopsis documents the history of Chaplin's affair with Berry, an aspiring actress, in part: "Charles Spencer Chaplin, Hollywood film comic, met Victim Joan Berry about June of 1941, placed her under contract 3 weeks later to Chaplin Studios and about the same time had sexual intercourse with her, instructed her in dramatics, with the assurance that she would be featured in a picture...in June, 1943, her mother, Gertrude E Berry, filed a civil suit against Chaplin, charging that he was the father of Joan's yet unborn child. On 10/2/43 Berry gave birth to a baby girl which she claims is the result of intercourse with Chaplin on about 12/23/42. Instant suit still pending and blood tests to be given the baby and Chaplin 4 months after birth of Berry's child." The document goes on to offer extensive background information on Chaplin and his association with Berry, as well as other figures connected to the case, and contains allegations of intoxication, drug use, homosexuality, stalking, and abortion. Other celebrities referenced in the report include J. Paul Getty, Oona O'Neill, Orson Welles, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Tyrone Power, Paulette Goddard, and Louise Brooks. In overall very good to fine condition, with old tape stains and repairs to the first and last pages. Charlie Chaplin was charged with violating the Mann Act, previously called the White-Slave Traffic Act of 1910, which made it a felony to engage in interstate or foreign commerce transport of 'any woman or girl for the purpose of prostitution or debauchery, or for any other immoral purpose.' Chaplin met Joan Barry, age 24, in 1941. After signing her to a $75-a-week contract for a film he was putting together, she became his mistress. By mid-1942, Chaplin let her contract expire. To send her home, Chaplin paid her train fare to New York which led to this investigation and, ultimately, his arrest. The highly publicized trial ended with Chaplin being acquitted of the Mann Act charges, though he was found to be the father of Barry's child in a separate paternity suit. This episode tarnished Chaplin's public image and contributed to his increasing difficulties with the U.S. government.

FORBERG (Friedrich-Karl). Manual of classical erotology (De figuris veneris). Latin text and literal translation by the Translator of the Dialogues of Luisa Sigea [Alcide Bonneau]. Paris, for Isidore Liseux and friends, 1882. 2 vols. in-8 fawn morocco, finely decorated smooth spines, gilt title and tomaison, "M.S. n°3" in gilt lettering on tail, fine framing of gilt fillets, garlands and fleurons on boards, gilt head, gilt inner framing, covers and spines preserved, in common edged slipcase (H. Capelle). A very rare first edition of only 100 copies on Hollande, not sold commercially. A very fine copy. With the prospectus for the 1932 reprint. "Forberg, the author of this manual, born in Menselwitz in 1770, died in 1848 in Hildburghausen, was a follower and collaborator of Fichte, with whom he published various large books of transcendental philosophy. He was also a highly learned humanist, and in 1807 was appointed librarian to the Duke of Saxe-Coburg. In 1824, to take his mind off his serious studies, he published Beccadelli's Hermaphroditus, nicknamed the Panormitan, a collection of epigrams of no great literary value, but which borrows from the commentary that Forberg has appended to it, and above all from the treatise "de figuris Veneris" which he followed. It is this latter work that is published, text and translation side by side, under the title Manuel d'érotologie classique. This work is No. 3 in the curious Musée secret du bibliophile printed by Liseux for himself and his friends. This manual is indeed the most complete and stunning erotic anthology imaginable by classification. Ch. Forberg, dividing his work into eight special chapters, seems to have drawn up a chessboard of known and practiced physical and antiphysical human pleasures, as well as prostitution, from the earliest times. It's impossible to move or jump out of this chessboard; everything is planned, everything is there, and the most exuberant imagination as depravity is made mate like a simple king. De Sade would have roared, but in vain, at seeing himself locked into Forberg's cold, erudite classification, where all manifestations of priapic fantasy are enclosed. [...]" (Gay III, 23.)
