A PLETHORA OF IMITATIONS
In the early 30’s the rage was imitating Charlie Chaplin’s ‘Little Tramp.’ Stanley Laurel was given his start as an actor after winning such a contest. The most prestigious contest was held annually at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Chaplin, in hope of putting an end to the contests, entered the contest in his film costume. He came in 4th. We are often so used to seeing imitations we fail to recognize the real thing. Dwayne Northrop, Calvary Baptist Church, Salinas, CA
