Charles way Of working is peculiar.
Grouped about him arc several mon Of

cX-pugIlist. poet, his brother sid
Chaplin, his manager, John Jasper, 4
reporter. writer OF vaudeville
comedies and the Englshman already
mentioned. who was recently the editor
Of a famous London newspaper. All
these men contribute ideas TO Charlie,

Crawitz is a man OF about fifty, lean,
gaunt and stopped. His eyes resemble
those Of a frightened deer chased by =
pack Of hounds. Whatever hair was
left on his head is iron gray. His little
goatee, which in his younger days was
blond, is now of gark ashen pallor.
Miriam looks like sixty-fve, although
she is only forty-eight. Deep dark
rings cncircle Miriam's eyes. No won

world war broke out.
Morris had built up good merchant
tailoring business and was MAKING
money. lie was the pride Of his par

country.

4 FIRST met Charlie Chaplin quite
unexpectedly at Rob Wagner's
house, in Los Angeles. Rob Wag-
uer, as you probably know, writes
about the movies for the Satevepost.
Mine was a casual evening visit As
! walked up the garden walk toward
the Wagner house ! glanced through
the drawing room window and saw
Rob sitting before the fireplace. Oppo-
site him was a vague little figure deep
i'm an armchair. l knocked and Rob
came TO the door. When l was inside
the figure in the armchair rose and
Rob said "Charlie,' and was introduc-
ing us.
lie is little, dark haired, boyish
looking man, with a quiet, decidedly
English voice. Very easy and inter

trace of nervous timidity would creep

later, when ! met him in the daylight,
] saw that his hair is threaded with
gray. But his face is as smooth and
bcslthIy ruddy as a schoolboy's.
lie is, l believe, the most widely
known man in the world. They know
him almost as well in Japan and Para
quay and Spain as VIC do here. Because
Of that he has attained an almost
legendary significance in the eyes Of
millions Of people; they give him
something akin to the homage given
90 Bcrnhardt and Shakespeare and
John L. Sullivan. These millions could
never have that feeling for a Senator,
