Question #321
(1) provided the small derby and the pants (of mighty generous proportions); (2) threw in the tailcoat. (3) contributed size-14 shoes that were so large they had to be worn on the wrong feet to stay on. (4) had a bit of crepe hair which was used to devise a significant component of the ensemble. It seems the only thing that really belonged to the target of this dress-up was a whangee stick. So what’s this about?
No mistakes from Sudharsan Narayanan, kgor, abhishek chakraborty, varun and Shrey Goyal.
Ans : The folks above are big names from the silent-film era… (from left) Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, Chester Conklin, Ford Sterling and Mack Swain. The get-up being described here is Charlie Chaplin’s famous Tramp outfit.

Making of “The Tramp”.
Fatty Arbuckle contributed his father-in-law’s derby and his own pants (of generous proportions). Chester Conklin provided the little cutaway tailcoat, and Ford Sterling the size-14 shoes, which were so big, Chaplin had to wear each on the wrong foot to keep them on. He devised the moustache from a bit of crepe hair belonging to Mack Swain. The only thing Chaplin himself owned was the whangee cane.
