"Items include a gorgeous Waterford six-arm chandelier, a Chinese plique a jour vase set, a beautiful set of Alaskan gold nugget jewelry, a French bracket clock and matching pedestal, antique and Victorian furniture, Depression glass, Chinese cloisonné and a stunning KPM Mary and Baby Jesus plaque." The Charlie Chaplin poster, however, is the auction's expected headliner. Produced in 1913, when Chaplin was still a vaudeville performer and aspiring comedian, the 42 inch long by 14 inch wide broadside advertises Fred Karno's London Comedy Company and a show called "The Wow Wows", starring Chaplin and other comedy performers. The show was held at the Empress Theatre in San Diego, with performances on February 17th, 1913. "The Wow Wows" was a 29-minute show, performed in three scenes, the premise being Chaplin's character was told he would be initiated into a secret society, when in fact the others were getting revenge on him. The comedy debuted in 1910 in New York. Included in the lot are some small playbills for "The Wow Wows" that have some great advertising for the San Diego area. The poster and playbills have a modest estimate of $300-$3,500. To learn more about Appraisal & Estate Sale Specialists, Inc., visit www.estatesalemandan.webs.com. End
