Charlie Chaplin is a great comic for his native land Britain, but even
more so for the world. On the
stage he often wore tiny moustaches, huge pants and tailcoats that
were perhaps more characteristic of
Europeans and may be not much of the British. Since more than half of
the roles Chaplin played were
in silent films, people throughout the world had no difficulty
understanding his films. With sound
movies, Chaplin created a nonsense language that sounded like no known
nationality and was accepted
and appreciated by people all over the world. For most of his lifetime
he did not stay in his mother
country; he traveled throughout the world to appear on stage for
people of different nationalities.
