Katie Melua's song "Mary Pickford"


Katie Melua has a lovely song about “Mary Pickford”:http://www.amazon.com/Pictures-Katie-Melua/dp/B0020H46KQ%3FSubscriptionId%3D1GGP2X6SNBRNARDHET82%26tag%3Dcharliechap0e-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB0020H46KQ eating roses, Douglas Fairbanks wearing a mustache “and musta had much cash” and Charlie Chaplin being invited, “when these artists became united”.

The clip has touching footages of D. Fairbanks M. Pickford and Charlie Chaplin playing around when they created United Artists. Those were the days…

Beware before listening, you might find yourself whistling the tune all day…

Brazil - Projeto Sorria (Project Smile)


!http://www.charliechaplin.com/images/photos/0000/1541/sorria_thumb.jpg?1251967933!

A social/cultural project to increase the access to Chaplin’s work to every social class of Brazilian school children.

A group of Chaplin enthusiasts has decided to take Charlie to school. The response has been overwhelmingly positive and it is lovely to hear that Chaplin films still delight children of all nationalities.

The organisers have prepared a video of one of the first Sao Paolo school visits in the hope of gaining sponsorship to buy projectors and other materials.
