Charlie Chaplin Pullstring Flat Puppet

About the Item

A Charlie Chaplin hanging pullstring flat puppet. Pull the string and make him dance! The bowler hat and cane were Charlie Chaplin's trademarks and indispensable props to his famous Tramp guise. Chaplin recalled how the costume induced the character, so that 'by the time I walked on to the stage he was fully born'. The derby hat, the cane, the bow-tie and close-trimmed moustache indicated brave but ineffectual pretensions to the dignity of the 'petit bourgeoisie'.
