The Criterion (American Magazine)
''The Criterion'' was a New York-based literary magazine published as a weekly from 1896 to 1900, then a monthly until 1905. It featured bold illustrated covers, saucy cartoons and a mix of news and feature reporting and forward-thinking satire. The magazine attracted a large number of artists and writers from a wide spectrum of political backgrounds. Staff included illustrator Rob Wagner, a socialist and later founder of ''Rob Wagner’s Script'', a Hollywood literary magazine, the novelist Percival Pollard, and novelist, playwright and future film director Rupert Hughes. ''The Criterion'' originated as ''St. Louis Life'', an offshoot of ''New York Life'' magazine. The two magazines shared editorial content until Grace L.

Biography Born in Greifswald, Pomerania to English and German parents, he was educated at Eastbourne College in Sussex, England. His family emigrated to the United States in 1885.

Charlie Chaplin
Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin Jr. (16 April 188925 December 1977) was an English comic actor, filmmaker, and composer who rose to fame in the era of silent film. He became a worldwide icon through his screen persona, the Tramp, and is considered one of the film industry's most important figures. His career spanned more than 75 years, from childhood in the Victorian era until a year before his death in 1977, and encompassed both adulation and controversy. Chaplin's childhood in London was one of poverty and hardship. His father was absent and his mother struggled financially — he was sent to a workhouse twice before age nine. When he was 14, his mother was committed to a mental asylum. Chaplin began performing at an early age, touring music halls and later working as a stage actor and comedian. At 19, he was signed to the Fred Karno company, which took him to the United States. He was scouted for the film industry and began appearing in 1914 for Keystone Studios. He soon de ...
