This video shows Charlie lighting fireworks off the balcony of Marion Davies’ beach home in Santa Monica, CA, July 4th, 1928. Also in the clip are William Randolph Hearst & Harold Lloyd who can be seen walking towards the camera at the end of the video. The music is Charlie’s own composition, “Sing A Song."
Ha, I remember reading in the "My Father, Charlie Chaplin" book that Chaplin would worry about his two boys handling firecrackers and fireworks and spent time telling them how they could lose a hand or eye. If memory serves, the boys found them anyway!
