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 same Chaplin became the greatest, best known, and best loved comedian in the world. Any regular visitor to the cinema must have seen some of Charlie Chaplin's films.
