Amazing circa 1931 leatherbound autograph book, 4.75 x 3.5, signed inside in fountain pen, "Charlie Chaplin, Sep. 30th 1931," who adds brilliant sketches of a bowler hat, bamboo cane, and dress shoe. In very good to fine condition, with soiling to the edges. On the day this book was signed, Chaplin made an impromptu visit to London's Paddington Green Children's Hospital to the delight of 50 young patients. Chaplin spent a quarter of an hour in each of the hospital's wards, earning many smiles and laughs with his Tramp character's famous 'splay-footed' walk.
