An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Deluxe 5" x 7" [13 x 18 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Syd Chaplin was an English actor from the 1910s to the 1920s. He was the half-brother of Hollywood legend Charlie Chaplin (he was four years older, and they shared the same mother). He was born "Sydney Hawkes", but he took his mother's name and shortened his first name to "Syd", no doubt to capitalize on his brother's fame. Darryl F. Zanuck (who worked for him in the 1920s) said that Syd Chaplin was the greatest ladies' man Hollywood has ever known, even better than Errol Flynn! He appeared in many of his brother's movies, but also many of his own, and he is probably best remembered for starring in the silent version of "Charley's Aunt". He did not adapt to sound movies, and he retired in 1928, and spent the rest of his life in France and Switzerland, passing away in 1965. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Sydney Chaplin! Also note that this still measures 5" x 7" [13 x 18 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Finally, note that this is a deluxe 8x10 still printed on double weight paper stock. Note that our consignor has been a memorabilia dealer for the past 30 years, and he tells us that he is certain this autograph is authentic. He says that he will give the new purchaser 30 days to be certain (perhaps they might want to get it authenticated), and that if the new buyer has any doubts, they can return this item within 30 days (but after 30 days, his warranty will expire, and at that point, the item will no longer be returnable). Condition: very good. The still was once attached to an album and there is paper residue and faint smudges in each corner, but the still is overall in pretty nice condition!
