Nice story but[edit]

"Through Chaplin he met Los Angeles neighbor artists Elmer Wachtel and Norman St. Clair. They showed works at the Spring Exhibition held in San Francisco in 1904."

But Chaplin was still in England in 1904 (he was 15 years old then), and didn't get to Los Angeles until 1913/1914.2A02:AA1:1626:6965:2148:F815:30DA:6861 (talk) 21:41, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Another strange Chaplin statement[edit]

Chaplin asked Redmond to help him develop the techniques Chaplin later used in his silent films.

Quite unlikely, since Chaplin built on technique developed during years of music hall experience. Chaplin didn't move to LA (and, presumably, meet Redmond) until he started as a film actor at Keystone in late 1913. He immediately created the character that made him famous, and the core of Chaplin's acting style and screen persona remained unchanged throughout his career. (That entire "Working with Chaplin" section is also unsourced.) 2A02:AA1:162A:93E0:E043:E28D:6D38:E936 (talk) 22:33, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
