CONTENTS

CHARLIE CHAPLIN'S OWN STORY

colophon

CHAPTER I

In which I relate my experiences up to the age of five; and describe the occasion of my first public appearance on any stage.

CHAPTER II

In which I make my first public appearance on the stage and my first success; and meet the red-faced man.

CHAPTER III

In which I join the clog dancers; fail to get the cream tarts; and incur the wrath of Mr. Hawkins.

CHAPTER IV

In which I feel very small and desolate; encounter once more the terrible wrath of Mr. Hawkins; and flee from it into the unknown perils of a great and fearful world.

CHAPTER V

In which I have an adventure with a cow; become a lawless filcher of brandysnaps; and confound an honest farmer.

CHAPTER VI

In which I come home again; accustom myself to going to bed hungry; and have an unexpected encounter with my father.

CHAPTER VII

In which I see my father for the last time; learn that real tragedy is silent; and go out into the world to make my own way.

CHAPTER VIII

In which I take lodgings in a barrel and find that I have invaded a home; learn something about crime; and forget that I was to share in nefarious profits.
