Charlie & Edna in his 1915 Essanay film “WORK”
CITY LIGHTS - 1931
The tramp agrees to get into the ring - splitting the $50.00 if they go easy on each other. Did not work out that way as this guy takes off and a bigger meaner boxer is put into the ring - winner take all.
Charlie Chaplin 1918
Group photograph taken in Los Angeles, Top row- Mr and Mrs Syd Chaplin, Bottom row - Miss Ina Claire’s manager, Miss Ina Claire (actress), Charlie Chaplin, and Mrs Claire. I believe this is at the Chaplin Studio.

Feel free to look through my tumblr archives, there are hundreds of photos of Charlie and “the tramp”
“Cane In The Grating” seen on “Unknown Chaplin
“David later confessed that he was absolutely sick with excitement, realizing that we were seeing a film which Chaplin had shot and cut, and of which he had made a graded print – absolutely complete and perfect, in its own way – and which had lain on the shelf unknown to anyone outside Chaplin’s immediate circle for fifty years. It was pure cinema – no subtitles were needed, no sound effects could have improved it. The sequence was the essence of Chaplin’s art. For he, more than anyone else in pictures, could take the smallest object, the least promising prop., and turn it into a fabulously funny sequence”.

**The gentleman seated in the window is Harry Crocker a Chaplin associate but known to the viewing public as Rex the Tightrope Walker in “The Circus”
Charlie & May Reeves in the French Riviera (she was his on and off again companion during his time in Europe in 1931/32) - he left in February 1931 for the London premiere of “City Lights”, he came back home to California 18 months later
. Not quite sure what is going on in the top photo, between the guy with his hands on Charlie’s neck and the group of gentlemen sitting on the roof of the building to the right.
