Proposed Charlie Chaplin sculpture

Here's a pic of the Charlie Chaplin 'tramp' sculpture model in situ in the upstairs hall at the Cinema Museum.

I love it's ghost-like quality.

The Cinema Museum is in the Lambeth Old Workhouse, where Charlie, his half brother Syd and his mother went for a period when they were destitute. That's where the Cinema Museum is located today.

Lydia's party at the Cinema Museum and the Tramp Monument proposal

Twas Lyd's big birthday bash last night. Matt did my hair for me in Victory rolls. We ate jam tarts and enjoyed a superb austerity bash.

The Cinema Museum is proposing a Kennington monument to Charlie Chaplin's 'Tramp'. We partied in the big hall with the mock up for the tramp monument. It was made of cardboard. Huge. Looks gorgeous.

We all would be a fool not to allow this lovely monument to exist. Come on everyone, support the Cinema Museum's excellent proposal!
