VANITY FAIR gathering in New York--two views

This assembly took place sometime in December 1920. Chaplin had been in New York since the summer cutting The Kid and waiting for his divorce from his first wife, Mildred Harris, to become final.

"Charlie On The Ocean"--newsreel footage from 1921

Mary & Douglas can be seen with Charlie around the :30 mark. Chaplin's traveling companion, playwright Edward Knoblock (or "Eddie" as Charlie called him), is the man standing with him on the deck while he waves to the crowds.

Charlie the fisherman

A couple more photos of Charlie with tuna he caught off Catalina Island. I believe that's his friend, Edward Knoblock posing with his own fish in the top photo and holding the other fin in the bottom photo.
