Charlie Chaplin is a great comic for his native land Britain, but even more so for the world. On the

stage he often wore tiny moustaches, huge pants and tailcoats that were perhaps more

characteristic of

Europeans and may be not much of the British. Since more than half of the roles Chaplin

played were

in silent films, people throughout the world had no difficulty understanding his films. With

movies, Chaplin created a nonsense language that sounded like no known nationality and was

accepted

and appreciated by people all over the world. For most of his lifetime he did not stay in

his mother

country; he traveled throughout the world to appear on stage for people of different

nationalities.
