When Chaplin was five years old, his mother suddenly lost her voice during a performance and had to leave the stage. To help his mother, little Chaplin went on and sang a well-known song at that time. When he was singing, a shower of money poured onto the stage. Chaplin stopped and told the audience he would pick up the money first and then finish the song. The audience laughed. This was only the first of millions of laughs in Chaplin’s legendary career.
卓別林五歲時，他的母親在一次表演中突然失聲，不得不告別舞臺。為了幫助母親，小卓別林接著唱了一首當時很有名的歌。當他在唱歌時，大量的錢涌上了舞臺。卓別林停下來對觀眾說，他先拿起錢，然后再唱完這首歌。觀眾都笑了。這只是卓別林傳奇生涯中無數笑聲中的第一個。
Lack of education did not hold Chaplin back from developing the special talent locked inside him. He took his courage and went to see one of the top theatrical agents in London. With no experience at all, he was offered the role of Bill, the paperboy, in a new production of Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes opened on July 27, 1903, at a huge theater. Chaplin seemed to change overnight. It was as if he had found the thing he was meant to do: to be an actor.
缺乏教育并沒有阻止卓別林發展他內在的特殊才能。他鼓起勇氣去見倫敦的一位頂級戲劇經紀人。在毫無經驗的情況下，他獲得了新劇《大偵探福爾摩斯》中一個報童的角色—比爾。夏洛克·福爾摩斯于1903年7月27日在一個大劇場上映。卓別林似乎一夜之間改變了。他似乎終于找到了自己適合做的事—成為一名演員。
