About the year 1890, a small, dark-haired child named Charlie Chaplin was often seen waiting outside the back entrance of London theaters. He looked thin and hungry. He was hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance, and above all, he knew how to make people laugh. But he couldn‘t get work and therefore wandered about the city streets. Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who had no parents.

But twenty years later this name Chaplin became the greatest, best known, and best loved actor in the world. Nearly all visitors to the cinema must have seen some of Charlie Chaplin‘s films. People everywhere have sat and laughed at them until tears ran down their faces. Even people who don‘t understand English can enjoy Chaplin‘s films because they are almost silent. It isn‘t what he says that makes us laugh. His comedy doesn‘t depend upon words or languages. It depends upon little actions, which mean the same thing to people all over the world. Acting out, without words, of common human situations plays an important part in the dances and plays of many countries. It‘s a kind of world language.
