About the year 1900, a small, dark-haired boy named Charles Chaplin was often seen waiting
outside the back entrances of London theatres. He looked thin and hungry but his blue eyes were
determined. He was hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance. His parents
were music-hall performers and he had been born into the life of the theatre. And, although his
own boyhood was painfully hard, he knew how to make people laugh.
His own father had died from drinking too much. And his mother was not really able to look
after Charles and his older half-brother, Sid. She was often sick in mind and had to be sent into
hospital.
