Charlie Chaplin was a famous comedian. He was born in 1889. He was often seen waiting outside the back entrances of London theater. He hoped to get work in show business. He could sing and dance. He knew how to make people laugh. But he couldn’t get work and therefore wandered about the city streets.
Twenty years later, Chaplin has become the greatest, best-known, and best-loved comedian in the world. Any regular visitor to the cinema must have seen some of his movies. People everywhere have sat and laughed at them until the tears ran down their faces. Even people who don’t understand English can enjoy his movies, because these movies are mostly silent. It isn’t what he says that makes us laugh. His comedy doesn’t depend upon words or language. It depends upon action, which is a kind of the world language.
Chaplin lived most of his life in America and died in Switzerland on Christmas Day 1977, at the age of eighty-eight. People in the world were very sad to hear that Chaplin died.
