Chaplin's 1921 trip abroad U7 him. I want to be different, and I want him to know that I am a different person. This is having its effect. Aubrey is bewildered ... I become radical in my ideas. Against his conservatism. But I am beginning not to like this performing for him. One feels so conscious. I am wondering whether he will understand. ... I shall have a long talk with Aubrey later and explain everything." The account was dictated to Monta Bell, a newspaperman hired for the purpose, during the railroad trip to the coast. The recital was finished by the time they reached Salt Lake City. Chaplin got twenty-five thousand for "My Trip Abroad," which more than covered his expenses. It was republished in book form by Harper's after its serialization. Chaplin was so satisfied with Bell that he added him to his staff. Bell later went ahead to become a director on his own. It had been truly an emotional holiday; it had also been a triumphal progress, almost without precedent, for the little "nickel comedian." In Hollywood his return was received with joy by his little group of associates and indifference by most of the rest. He came back refreshed, inspired by the brilliant people he had met and filled with the desire to bring smiles to the tired faces of the less fortunate he had also encountered. This renewal of vitality was to reflect itself in his work. a. n
