Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 206, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 September 1918 — Not Charlie Chaplin but Lloyd George. [ARTICLE]

Not Charlie Chaplin but Lloyd George.

After a meeting which Lloyd George had attended a cheering band of admirers escorted the prime minister to his car. There, in the freedom of her rags and tatters, stood a typical cockney girl. She gazed at the enthusiasts with astonishment and then her eyes glistened as they fell on the features of Lloyd George. “It’s Charlie,” she cried. “Charlie Chaplin. Give another three cheers.” “No, my girl,” explained one of the crowd; “it is not Charlie Chaplin. It is the prime minister.” “Lloyd George? Good old Lloyd George. Give him six cheers.” Admiration could go no further.
