On thestage he often wore tiny moustaches, huge pants and tailcoats that were perhaps more characteristic ofEuropeans and may be not much of the British. Since more than half of the roles Chaplin played werein silent films, people throughout the world had no difficulty understanding his films.

For most of his lifetime he did not stay in his mothercountry; he traveled throughout the world to appear on stage for people of different nationalities.
