Chaplin, Charlie. (1889-1977) . Original Photograph. An unusual and visually striking original 1927 doubleweight photograph of the great comedian. This image was later reproduced in the Chicago Tribune, under the headline "Movie Comedian Says He'll File Cross Bill: Charlie Chaplin and his Jap valet about to board Twentieth Century in Chicago on his way to see New York lawyer." 7.5 x 9.75 inches. Edges slightly chipped, stamps and notations on verso, else fine.
On January 11, 1927, Charlie Chaplin’s $16 million estate was frozen by court receivers after his second wife, Lita Grey Chaplin, sued for divorce. Lita was a 16-year-old hopeful actress when the 35-year-old Chaplin married her in 1924. The bitter and prolonged divorce ended a three-year marriage with a $1 million settlement.
