Read the following passage! Circle all the adverbs:
Charles Spencer Chaplin was born in London, England, on April 16th, 1889. His father was a versatile vocalist and actor; and his mother, known under the stage name of Lily Harley, was an attractive actress and singer, who gained a reputation for her work in the light opera field.
Charlie was thrown on his own resources before he reached the age of ten as the early death of his father and the subsequent illness of his mother made it necessary for Charlie and his brother, Sydney, to fend for themselves.
Chaplin aged 9 or 10, at the time he toured with the Eight Lancashire Lads
Having inherited natural talents from their parents, the youngsters took to the stage as the best opportunity for a career. Charlie made his professional debut as a member of a juvenile group called âThe Eight Lancashire Ladsâ and rapidly won popular favour as an outstanding tap dancer.
Beginning of his career
When he was about twelve, he got his first chance to act in a legitimate stage show, and appeared as âBillyâ the page boy, in support of first H. A. Saints-bury and then William Gillette in different productions of âSherlock Holmesâ. At the close of this engagement, Charlie started a career as a comedian in vaudeville, which eventually took him to the United States in 1910 as a featured player with the Fred Karno Repertoire Company.

He scored an immediate hit with American audiences, particularly with his characterization in a sketch entitled âA Night in an English Music Hallâ. When the Fred Karno troupe returned to the United States in the fall of 1912 for a repeat tour, Chaplin was offered a motion picture contract.
He finally agreed to appear before the cameras at the expiration of his vaudeville commitments in November 1913; and his entrance in the cinema world took place that month when he joined Mack Sennett and the Keystone Film Company. His initial salary was $150 a week, but his overnight success on the screen spurred other producers to start negotiations for his services.
Kid Auto Races at Venice (1914), the first film released in which Chaplin wore the Tramp costume
At the completion of his Sennett contract, Chaplin moved on to the Essanay Company (1915) at a large increase. Sydney Chaplin had then arrived from England, and took his brotherâs place with Keystone as their leading comedian.
The following year Charlie was even more in demand and signed with the Mutual Film Corporation for a much larger sum to make 12 two-reel comedies. These include âThe Floorwalkerâ, âThe Firemanâ, âThe Vagabondâ, âOne A. M.â (a production in which he was the only character for the entire two reels with the exception of the entrance of a cab driver in the opening scene), âThe Countâ, âThe Pawnshopâ, âBehind the Screenâ, âThe Rinkâ, âEasy Streetâ (heralded as his greatest production up to that time), âThe Cureâ, âThe Immigrantâ and âThe Adventurerâ.
