Chaplin
and His Impersonators
(1916-1922)
|
Contents: The Count (1916), Heaven Will Protect a Woiking Goil (1916) and Don’t Be Foolish (1922).
Of course, The Count (1916) features Charles Chaplin, but the attraction of this collection will be its inclusion of the Vogue comedy Heaven Will Protect a Woiking Goil (1916) featuring Priscilla Dean and Paddy McGuire, and Don’t Be Foolish (1922) directed and starring Billy West, with Frank Hayes and Tom Murray.
