My museum topic is Charlie Chaplin & Movies During The 1900’s. The main person focused on is Charlie Chaplin, of course.

Charlie Chaplin was a great actor who starred and produced more than thirty-five films. He’s divorced three times, each time with a different woman. He has also had eleven children, although a few passed away very young. Chaplin took many risks by producing films that other people might have found offensive. He is considered a great legend.

Movies during the 1900’s were silent movies. People liked to call them, “Mellow Dramas”. A normal silent film was black and white, and there was no sound. When the movie was played at a cinema, there would be a pianist playing along live. Because the movies were silent, the actors wouldn’t be heard if they talked in the movie. Dialogue was usually written in words on the screen.
