" Itnn 1k vn raised In a theatrical at-
; mosphoro, ns his parents were plavcrs In

i "From Hags to Ittchcs.'
p As a jouth Sir. Chnplln was a mem

Voured tho provinces. Occasionally ho

tinguished himself partlculaily until ho
? created the rolo of Billy in "Sherlock
Holmes," with William Qilctto as tho
etar, In L'ngland
Like many artists, Charles Chaplin con
ceived his present characterization
through a combination of scores of other
types and Impersonations. He went Into
the English music halls and gave imita
tions of great stare, finding that his bur
lesnue wmk found the greater response.
From audollle ho started on his way to
fame In America when "Fred" Karno en
gaged him for the music hnll sketch "A
Night In an English Music Hall "
This sketch with Sir. Chaplin and a
large company was brought to tho Vic
toria Theatre by Oscar Hammerstcln In
1305. Later It was placed over the Keith
circuit. Sir. Chaplin was not "featured"
ln the company, but his acting attracted
ths attention of Slack Sennett, ono of
the pioneer motion picturo producers and
directors.
Sir. Sennett made his start as n come
dian and picturo director with the Bio
graph. Ono of his associates directing in
that firm was D. W. Griffith.
It didn't tako Sir. Sennett lone to seo
tho possibilities. In "Charlie" Chaplin,
who was a pantomlmlst of high order.
Mr, Chaplin went Wst to tho Kcystono
studios at Los Angeles and started to
nork. The combination of Scnnott as
director and Chaplin as comedian proved
a winning one.
As "Charlie's" fame grew so did his
salary. He soon earned by lilrrwlf more

credence to a good story on Charles
Chaplin at tho time he was negotiating
nlth another company. The other firm
offered him $1000 a week

"What Is the $23 for?" was asked.
