Vintage sepia matte-finish 10 x 8 photo of Chaplin and Edna Purviance seated in a theater box with five other gentlemen during production of the 1915 film A Night in the Show, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To Mr. A. L. Johanston, from your friend, Charlie Chaplin, Oct. 20th 1915, Los" and "Me too, Edna Purviance.” In fine condition, with a small crease in the center of the image. Purviance was the leading lady in many of Charlie Chaplin's early films and in a span of eight years, she appeared in over 30 films with him. Photos signed by both Chaplin and his trusted leading lady are considerably rare, with this being the first example that we have ever offered.
