With violinist Jascha Heifetz on the set of THE KID, 1920

Dagmar Godowsky (daughter of Leopold) is second from left next to Heifetz in bow tie. Syd Chaplin is at far right.¹

Around this time, Heifetz was a guest at Chaplin's house. "Everyone was clamorous to have Heifetz play violin. He picked up Chaplin's violin and started to play and he was astounded, as were the rest of the company, to find nothing but insane discordance issue from the strings.
Chaplin smiled, took his fiddle from Heifetz's hands and played a bit of Bach with his left hand. All the strings were on backward.
'You see,' said Chaplin, 'I am being made inside out and upside-down. When I turn my back on you in the screen you are looking at something as expressive as a face. I am back foremost.'"²

¹Shortly after this visit, Heifetz, accompanied by Godowsky, flew to San Diego for a recital on an airplane from Syd Chaplin's airfield. The pilot was Syd's business partner, Emery Rogers. It was Heifetz's first flight. See photo here.
