Unknown Chaplin


"We recognize his battered but cherished derby, his jaunty bamboo stick, his absurd lack patch of a mustache, his monstrous shoes, and the desperate, defiant elegance of his shabby clothes.  It is Charlie, Charlie - as ever was.  Charlie - with the odds, as always,  against him. Charlie - God bless him!" - Alexander Woollcott, "Charlie - As Ever Was" (1931 Review of City Lights)
