If you believe that
everything that could be
written about Charlie Chaplin has been written - then
prepare to
be
shocked!
Within these pages are to be found accounts of ALL the dates and venues
for
Chaplin's thousands of stage appearances in the UK US America and
Canada
before he went into films. These begin early in 1899 and continue until
the
end of 1913, almost without a break. To compile such a list, totalling
some
estimated seven hundred dates, was a mammoth task but, one hundred
years
after they were made, they are now FINALLY on record, along with the
corresponding venue, play, sketch, or act in which Chaplin was
appearing.
You will find the detail truly staggering.
The book will also provide
many unknown facts about the
lives
of two
other show business legends, namely Fred Karno and Stan
Laurel,
whilst destroying many myths, mistakes, lies and legends, in the
accounts
written by Chaplin himself.
If you don't know Chaplin before 1914 -
you don't know Chaplin at all.
