Who is this with Chaplin?
Christie's said it was Lionel Barrymore and sold it for $2500!

Yeah, it's definitely not Barrymore, and looks like the set for SUNNYSIDE in the background - all of which I'm sure you knew already.

Yes, it's the Sunnyside set. This guy looks somehow familiar, but I can't place him. I keep thinking he comes from another area of the business, maybe music.

I think this is Henry Russell Wakefield, Bishop of Birmingham. There's another shot from his visit with Chaplin & Co. here.

Doesn't it seem like back when the world dignitaries were beating a door to rub elbows with Chaplin it was always on the set of SUNNYSIDE?
No wonder it took him two years to finish that 2-reeler.....

I'm going to put a name out there, to me it looks like David Belasco.

When's Mr. Belasco's birthday? He needs someone to send him a comb!

Kate Guyonvarch of the Chaplin estate got back to me with a news clipping that captions the photo as CC with Tom Davies, Manager of Western Imports, who handled the distribution of CC films in Britain.
