Chaplin, Charlie. (1889–1977) & Kennedy, Merna. (1908–1944). Original Photograph in "The Circus". Charming original press photograph of the great entertainer in his 1928 film The Circus, shown with costar Merna Kennedy. Chaplin plays a tramp who wanders into a traveling circus and becomes an accidental star, opposite Kennedy as a mistreated rider (who eventually falls for the tightrope walker!) Original press caption and cropping notes on the verso, stamped with the date October 28, 1950. Two areas of in-painting, and some scratches, creases and one slight tear; overall in very good condition. 8 x 10 inches (20.2 x 25.8 cm).
