RARE 1970\'s unpublished book manuscript \'Charles Chaplin: His Religion and His Films\' by Douglas C. MoorePLUSa large bundle of 70\'s publisher notes, clippings, and mimeographed copies of multiple Lita Grey Chaplin press clippings, 1990\'s correspondence with Grey-Chaplin and Oona O\'Neill Chaplin,ANDA hand written thank you note, from Lita Grey Chaplin, dated 1994.This is a fascinating lot from my collection that should find a better home with a collecter of published Chaplin biographies and studies.The manuscript is original, hand-typed by Douglas Moore, bound with ribbon, covered in faded blue construction paper. It has hand written notes in the margins, presumably by a proofreader or editor. It is 83 pages total, and a bizarre and fascinating read, a study of Chaplin and how he relates (or doesn\'t relate) to Christianity.
The accompanying ephemera is a mix of actual notes, one hand written letter from Lita Grey Chaplin, on her Hollywood apartment stationary, and many, many copies of the same autographed photo, presumably to distribute.
(original signed photos, and original Oona Chaplin letter NOT included)Being a Chaplin collector, I snatch up many interesting things over the years, and this has been carefully preserved in it\'s original stamped manila envelope, along with the original manuscript in a plastic sleeve.Thanks for looking, feel free to message with questions or for additional photographs.
