Featured sweet thin bamboo cane

Him with a small boy is "The Kid".

A flower, which is why I thought it was City Lights. He buys a flower from a blind girl, and falls in love with her.

 

The Kid, Charlie with Jackie Coogan (who played uncle Fester in the Addams family in later life)

 

thanks Aj, i like the sound of both, so will make a charlie shaped hole in my day (at sometime) i think i'm gonna love (and thats always happens with someone i think i'm gonna like)

got the nitwits today so i'll probably be pushed

angel right ?...............



look closer...................they are venus fly traps

this is him really.....

 

Very sweet. (For now.)

So I noticed. Fascinating plants. Do you feed it bits of boiled egg, or do you find insects for it?

 

yeah i'm not sure, but always wanted one myself, i seriously hate flies (make my skin crawl) but can't bring myself to kill them (only if a natural reactionary slap )

 

The venus flytrap will do that for you. You just have to look the other way while it does.

 

i think i've been let off this week as they are late

 

i gave him a really nice little ammonite fossil (loves things like that), and his mum said he wouldn't let anyway even look at it, just held onto it all day. the only time they got to see it was when it fell out of his hand when he was asleep

 

That or similar. I think this might be earlier. Maybe the original Little Tramp movie?

 

Awww.

 

I was going to do an image search on this for you, to try to identify the film. When I downloaded the image I found that the title of the film is in the subject line of the image. Says it's from Chaplin's film "Modern Times."

I'll still do an image search to see if I can verify that.

Although so far, I'm seeing websites that say it is from "City Lights."

 

Now that I've investigated, I think that it is from "City Lights." I was trying to find a more authoritative site, and just did. This is from a German film festival article.

I think whoever wrote the title of the image that @charlie cheswick has, was confused. Chaplin's Little Tramp character used that same cane in several pictures. So you got it, @Any Jewelry -- The flower is a great clue.

By the way, "City Lights" is a silent film, as many of his were. He was amazing.

 

Thanks for the info Fig, haven't fancied watching anything recently but definitely will do. like i said before things that i think i'll like i usually very much do

 

He certainly was.

 

He was a Vaudeville actor/comic first and then did films; he was the family breadwinner from the age of five or so, and rough doesn't cover it early on. He also wrote at least one song, because Michael Jackson covered it later. It's called "Smile" and it's a classic.
