Chaplin In California,
j Dan, who was once a music hall
! singer, composer and writer and
knew Charlie Chaplin when he
: played in the Lambeth alleys as
i a schoolboy, was full of re m in is-,
I cences. i
"We never saw much of Mrs.
i Chaplin, but heard a lot about her
from Charlie," he said. "He thought -I
no one ever lived like his mother. .
Believed she was the cleverest ,
! player in the world, the greatest
i lady and an ideal. When he he-'
came Charlie Chaplin and not the j
little boy of Lambeth alleys it was !
still the same. His mother's ser- j
lious Illness when she was a young
woman troubled him deeply. As
soon ns he was famous and with ;
money such as he never dreamed I
i of In Lambeth, he sent for her.;
