Rivel Trio/Andreu Family

A page from a 1927 German circus program that shows photos of the Rivel Trio and Andreu Family featuring Charlie Rivel's uncanny Chaplin impersonation on the trapeze.

Very interesting to take a look at Charlie Rivel's original auguste makeup (in the lower right corner), quite different from the one we all know, but keeping with the same idea.

But I notice he didn't include any pictures of THAT face in his autobiography!

Lest you didn't know, there's a statue of Charlie outside Kronebau - the circus building in Munich, Germany.
