There is his visit to America where he met John Drew, the "Squire of Easthampton and the gardenia of the American stage"; his meeting with the "wistful Charlie Chaplin, who hides the soul of Punchinello beneath the comic rags of slapstick"; and that "delightful, naive and unconceited man, Will Rogers, who will never recover from his surprise and amazement at having been able to put over his rope-twisting chats upon a sophisticated audience...
