Charlie Chaplin: Genius of the Silent Screen

(3) YA This clearly written biography traces Chaplin's life from his destitute childhood in London, through the success of his American-made movies The Gold Rush and Modern Times, to his eventual exile in Europe. The descriptions of the entertainer's motion pictures and characterization is particularly insightful. The text is illustrated with black-and-white photos and film stills, and a filmography is included. Bib., ind.
