In which film was the character of Charlie Chaplin’s alter ego, “the Little Tramp,” born? Correct Answer Kid Auto Races at Venice

While touring America with the Fred Karno pantomime troupe in 1913, Charlie Chaplin was signed to appear in Mack Sennett’s Keystone comedy films. Ordered by Sennett to come up with a workable screen image, Chaplin improvised an outfit consisting of a too-small coat, too-large pants, floppy shoes, and a battered derby. As a finishing touch, he pasted on a postage-stamp mustache and adopted a cane as an all-purpose prop. It was in his second Keystone film, Kid Auto Races at Venice (1914), that Chaplin’s immortal screen alter ego, “the Little Tramp,” was born.
