Triple Trouble was a silent film released in 1918. It starred Charlie Chaplin, Edna Purviance & Leo White. This film was not an official Chaplin film, even thought it has many Chaplin directed scenes. The film was produced & edited by Essanay Films, with Leo White as director for new scenes. The actual film was created from left over film stock Essanay Films had in their collection. Since Chaplin did not own the copyright during his time with Essanay, he had no control over its release. It was made up from left over scenes from Police & from an unfinished Chaplin film called Life. Leo White filled in the rest. Silent Film.

The Bond was a propaganda film created by Charlie Chaplin at his own expense for the Liberty Load Committee for theatrical release to help sell US Liberty Bonds during World War I Made in 1918 with Edna Purviance, Albert Austin & Sydney Chaplin, the film has a distinctive visual motif set in a simple plain black set with starkly lit simple props & arrangememts. The story is a series of sketches humourously illustrating various bonds like the bond of friendship & marriage & most importantly the Liberty Bond to kao the Kaiser which Charlie does literally. There was also a British version with Uncle Sam replaced by John Bull & promotes War Bonds.

Charles Chaplin was a British artist, engraver & printmaker. You teach me a little about engraving & I will teach you a little about art was the remarkable offer made by Robert Austin to his new student, Charles Chaplin. Austin, an eminent engraver himself, had become Chaplins tutor at the Royal College of Art in September 1947. Chaplin, a mature student, was a printers commercial engraver; he was also an amateur artist whose prints had already received some recognition & had been hung at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions. He had, however, had little formal education or art training. Austins encouragement was a major influence on Chaplins subsequent career as an artist. The years before the Second World War cover Chaplins birth into a large working-class family, his early love of drawing, the accident which left him with only one eye & his apprenticeship in a large printing works. After the war, he enrolled as a Saturday student at the Royal College of Art and, thereafter, his style developed significantly. Posters Of Charles Chaplin
