Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin Jr. KBE (16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977) was an English comic actor, filmmaker, and composer who rose to fame in the era of silent film. He became a worldwide icon through his screen persona, the Tramp, and is considered one of the film industry's most important figures. His career spanned more than 75 years, from childhood in the Victorian era until a year before his death in 1977, and encompassed both adulation and controversy.

chaplinfortheages.tumblr.com/post/615033461362868224/circ... shows this picture and identifies A. Kelly as Arthur Kelly and says, "Eventually Arthur Kelly came to work at United Artists, first as Chaplin’s representative later on as Vice-President." So this is probably a group associated with United Artists after D.W. Griffith left by 1924 [stated without citation in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Artists#Early_years ]

A date written on the negative is 11/11/24. This is shortly before the 11/22/24 date written on Chaplin's copy of an agreement between Chaplin, Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, and Schenk [ see www.charliechaplinarchive.org/en/collection/cerca/agreeme... ] The agreement was apparently made in New York, but that doesn't mean that this photo was taken in New York.

Thanks https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] and https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] for all the identifications. I don't think anyone mentioned the second guy who is Dennis O'Brien, an attorney who was at the contract signing. We'll add all their names to the catalog record.
