Many remember Charlie Chaplins comic masterpiece; The Gold Rush; as the finest blend of comedy and farce ever brought to the screen. Far fewer remember its heroine; Georgia Hale (1900-1985).Seventy years after the films appearance; Heather Kiernan brings Georgia Hale back to life in this edition of her hitherto unpublished memoirs. Research work embodied in her perceptive introduction clears up many uncertainties about Hales life and provides an outline of her most significant years.Hales own chief purpose was to describe her long and close relationship with Chaplin and his dual personality; which made the relationship at times a love-hate one. As Chaplins constant companion during the years 1928-1931; she became a part of his social circle; meeting people as diverse as Marion Davies; Sergei Eisenstein; Ralph Barton; and Albert Einstein. The memoir effectively ends with Chaplins marriage in June 1943 to Oona ONeill.This unique book contains illustrations from the Chaplin archive; most of which are published here for the first time.

It has a crap ton of chords most of which my fat baby hands cant do yet; but its a great small book thats easy to put in a uke bag.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. which is great if you want to be able to see them ...By yayaSo far I havent found any problems with it. It has each chord in multiple positions up the neck; which was what I was looking for. I just wanted to let everyone know that there are two versions of this book in different sizes. This is the larger one. The chords are really big; which is great if you want to be able to see them at a distance. Of course that means that you have to negotiate several pages for each key and that its not good for throwing in you case. I dont see that as a problem but you might.
