September 9th 1921 - before pulling into Southampton, England (September 10th), the RMS Olympic made a stop to let some passengers off in Cherbourg, France.

Charlie Chaplin got a small taste of the reception that awaited him home in England after a 9 year absence.

An avalanche of reporters speaking both French and English asked him everything from: Why did you come over? Did you bring your make-up? Are you making films over here? to Are you a Bolshevik? What do you think of Lenin? Is it true you are going to be Knighted?

Charlie Chaplin did not speak French despite living in Switzerland for the last 34 years of his life (1953-1977). As to the question of Knighthood, it would not occur for another 54 years (March 4th 1975)
